Christmas markets are a staple during the holiday season, and the one at Old Spitalfields Market in East London is offering a unique experience for hot chocolate lovers. From December 1 to December 8, visitors can enjoy a Hot Chocolate Trail featuring 15 different hot chocolate-inspired dishes and drinks created by the market’s traders, bars, and restaurants. This is the perfect opportunity to indulge in some winter treats and warm up during the chilly weather.
Some of the delicious treats included in the trail are a Ferrero-inspired drink, indulgent mochi, and hot choc-dipped churros. The market will be beautifully decorated with Christmas ornaments and garlands, creating a festive atmosphere for visitors to enjoy. One of the special treats to look out for is the Yum Bun, a crispy bao served with a delectable hot chocolate orange dipping sauce. Another must-try is the Le Bab, a S’more-inspired spiced cinnamon flatbread with melted dark chocolate and creamy marshmallows.
In addition to these mouth-watering treats, other vendors will be offering unique chocolate creations as well. Roxy Ra Ra Cakes will have hot chocolate chip cookie shots, while Bleecker Burgers will be serving up a double chocolate milkshake. Crunch will delight visitors with a deep-fried chocolate bread and butter pudding, served with a milk chocolate and dulce de leche dipping sauce. Funky Cellar will be offering their Le Chocolat Chaud, a classic hot chocolate topped with whipped cream and meringues.
One of the highlights of the Hot Chocolate Trail is a free chocolate-themed workshop that will be held at the end of the trail on the market’s winter terrace. This is a great opportunity for visitors to learn more about chocolate and perhaps even pick up some tips for making their own chocolate creations at home. Kids can also join in on the fun by participating in a chocolate hunt around the market, using a special chocolate trail map to discover hidden chocolates.
The best part about this event is that you don’t need a ticket to participate – simply show up and indulge in all the chocolatey goodness that the market has to offer. Whether you’re a die-hard hot chocolate fan or just looking to satisfy your sweet tooth, the Hot Chocolate Trail at Old Spitalfields Market is sure to be a delightful experience for all. Don’t miss out on this unique twist on the traditional Christmas market – it’s a hot chocolate lover’s paradise!
