Ontario’s popular pop-up is back and cooler than ever with a cozy spin on this year's post-to-pay event: Dairy Chill by MilkUP.

Opening on February 2, Dairy Chill is a winter wonderland at The Bentway, where you can enjoy delectable dairy treats and eats, stunning photo ops and more après ice skating. Like always, artisan goodies from favourite local makers are free when you post on TikTok or Instagram, tagging #MilkUPDairyChill and @milkupontario.

Lovers of MilkUP's iconic past events — Moo'seum of Modern Milk, Big Moo'd Market and Pick-Me-Ups — will be delighted to know they don't have to wait until summer for the deliciousness of this famous post-to-pay experience.

While the summer MilkUP moments helped you cool down, Dairy Chill showcases the cozy side of winter with your favourite dairy foods and drinks from beloved local creators.

Playground Cafe will brew up caramel brûlée lattes and toasted marshmallow hot chocolates. DAM Sandwiches will serve you a mouthwatering grilled cheese and cream of corn soup, and for dessert, you can bite into a tres leche and cereal milk glazed donut by COPS Donuts — all made with fresh Ontario dairy.

Spend a few dreamy winter hours gliding the Bentway Skate Trail under the Gardiner, snap a selfie at the always-iconic MilkUP photo ops and don't forget to stop by the Buttercup Studios charm bar to create your own limited-edition memento.

Mark your calendar because this must-visit Toronto pop-up won't be around for long!
