The event is taking place Saturdays and Sundays until March 16 and "transforms The Distillery District into a winter wonderland straight out of a postcard with heated patios and cozy fire pits, each serving their own spin on Canada’s most loved winter treats – hot chocolate and S’mores," according to a press release.
