When’s the last time you went skating? If you can’t remember, it probably means that you’re due for a solid sesh of shimmyin’ and shakin’ on ice. And we can do you one better because Second Cup is hosting a wickedly awesome event at Harbourfront Centre’s Natrel Rink (235 Queens Quay West) on February 20 with the BOSS of Canadian figure skating, Elvis Stojko. We’re talking FREE skate rentals, FREE on-site lessons for beginners and (most importantly) FREE Second Cup Coffee Co. hot chocolate and cookies, OOHHH WEEEE!

The “Welcome to Canada” skating part-tay will begin at 10am and run until noon, so you can bring the little ones. In addition to being a guaranteed F-U-N morning, the event seeks to help newcomers feel connected to the community.

Remember when we mentioned cookies? We meant it. Second Cup’s Signature Hot Chocolate has been transformed into a cookie! Your tastebuds will love the velvety steamed milk and rich, chocolatey flavour – so yum!

FUN FACT: Second Cup developed this cookie because Canadians loved the hot chocolate so much that they rated it as being their favourite last year!

You have until February 28 to give the Hot Chocolate Cookie a taste and visit the Second Cup Facebook page to rate it for you chance to win 1 of 5 $50 Second Cup Coffee Co. gift cards.

To sum up: FREE skating, GOOD; Hot Chocolate Cookies, DELICIOUS. Winter, you ain’t so bad after all.
