Usher In The Holiday Season With Your Family At This Arkansas Town's First Hot Cocoa Crawl
The holiday season is quickly approaching and Arkansans are ready.

Whatever the case you definitely need to make plans to attend Springdale’s first ever Hot Cocoa Crawl. Let’s grab a mug and learn more about this inaugural event.

Northwest Arkansas is already one of our favorite places to visit this season between Fayetteville's enchanting square and Roger's shopping (not to mention the restaurants at Bentonville). This year Springdale has added a new element to its festive holiday events - the Hot Cocoa Crawl!

The crawl will be happening on three different dates: Nov. 30th, Dec. 6th, and Dec. 13th, 2019. The date in November coincides with the city's traditional Christmas on the Creek. This event includes all sorts of family fun from photos with Santa, a winter market, and the lighting of the region's largest Christmas tree! In December you can crawl during the Caroling on the Creek event, which showcases choirs from all the local schools.

Each stop will have its own bit of magic too, like the decadent gingerbread mansion at Shelby Lynn's Cake Shoppe. Nearly every stop is family friendly but the participating bars will have spiked cocoa options as well. The Odd Soul will be ages 21+ after 8 pm and Emma Bar & Taproom is strictly 21+.

We're looking forward to this new tradition! One of the best parts of this Hot Cocoa Crawl (besides the hot cocoa of course) is that your mug will let you sip all three days of the event. Don't forget to get your crawl map right here.
