Leland’s holiday calendar gives families a reason to come back after Thanksgiving weekend. The chamber lists its Cocoa Crawl for Saturday, December 5, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

 

The event has its own listing in the Leland Chamber of Commerce calendar, separate from Black Friday shopping and the later December 17 Sip and Shop.

 

Check which stops are participating

 

The calendar establishes the date and six-hour window. Check the event listing closer to December 5 for participating businesses, any prices and where to start.

 

If you have one shop in mind, call before driving in. A village-wide window does not establish when a specific business will serve cocoa or how long its supply will last.

 

Plan around the people coming with you

 

For a family visit, choose a meeting spot and leave room for a warm-up break. If ingredients matter, ask the serving business directly what’s in its cocoa and what alternatives it offers.

 

For visitors who also want to shop, make a short gift list and check store hours separately. The crawl gives the group a shared outing even if everyone has different stops in mind.

 

The date to save is December 5. Use the chamber calendar to check the current arrangements before you head out.
