Tim Hortons Hot Chocolate and Tea Menu Canada 2026: Prices and Calories

Tim Hortons hot chocolate is the drink that tells me winter has arrived. It is sweet, creamy and comforting, it comes in four sizes, and every holiday season the Candy Cane version shows up and disappears just as fast. Right beside it on the hot drink menu is Tims tea, from the classic steeped tea Canadians grew up on to chai lattes and London Fogs.

In this guide I cover every hot chocolate and tea at Tims with Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large prices and calories, how the hot chocolate is actually made, the holiday flavours, the full tea menu, and the Tims hot chocolate mix you can buy at the grocery store. Prices come from recent Canadian menu listings and can change by province, restaurant and delivery app, so check the Tims app before you order.

What Hot Chocolate and Tea Does Tim Hortons Have?

The hot chocolate menu at Tims has two year round drinks, the classic Hot Chocolate and the White Hot Chocolate, plus two holiday versions, the Candy Cane Hot Chocolate and the Candy Cane White Hot Chocolate. All four come in Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large, so you can go from a quick treat to a big warm cup for a cold drive.

The tea side of the menu starts with steeped tea, the classic black tea Tims brews in batches. Then there are specialty teas made with tea bags, a Tropical Green Tea, and two creamy tea lattes: the Chai Latte and the London Fog. If you do not drink coffee, this part of the menu is where you will spend most of your time.

Hot Chocolate Calories and Nutrition

Small hot chocolate Tim Hortons calories come to 220, medium hot chocolate Tim Hortons calories come to 290, a large has 380 and an extra large has 490. Most of those calories come from sugar. For a small classic hot chocolate, the nutrition listing shows:

That 34 g of sugar in a small is more than half of what many adults aim for in a whole day, so I treat hot chocolate as a dessert drink rather than an everyday cup. Tim Hortons White Hot Chocolate calories are the highest of the year round pair, starting at 300 in a small, and the Candy Cane White Hot Chocolate reaches 730 calories in an extra large.

Does Tim Hortons Make Hot Chocolate With Milk or Water?

This is the question I get asked most, and the answer surprises people. The hot chocolate at Tims is made from a hot chocolate mix blended with hot water, not steamed milk. The mix itself already contains milk ingredients, which is where the creamy taste comes from.

You can see this in the nutrition: a small has only 1 g of protein and no cholesterol, which would not be possible if it were made with a cup of real milk. Tims staff and regulars also describe the drink as a powder mix dispensed from the hot drink machine. That is also why a hot chocolate can occasionally come out watery: if the machine nozzles are not cleaned often, the mix does not blend properly. If your cup tastes thin, it is fair to ask for a fresh one.

Is Tims Hot Chocolate Any Good?

In my honest opinion, yes, for what it is. It is sweet, smooth and very consistent, and plenty of Tims regulars say they prefer it to other fast food hot chocolates. It is not a thick, café style hot chocolate made with melted chocolate and whole milk, and if that is what you want, you will notice the difference. But for a warm, sweet drink on a cold morning at under $3, it does exactly what it promises.

How to Customize Your Hot Chocolate

A few small changes make a big difference to a Tims hot chocolate:

1. Add a flavour shot. A vanilla or chocolate syrup shot costs about $0.60 and adds extra flavour. Regulars also love a caramel shot in winter.
2. Top it with whipped topping. It costs about $0.90 and turns your cup into a proper treat.
3. Make it a mocha style drink. Ask for half hot chocolate and half coffee, using Original Blend, Dark Roast or Decaf, for a cheap homemade mocha.
4. Add an espresso shot. For about $1.20, an espresso shot gives your hot chocolate a coffee kick.

Tim Hortons Candy Cane Hot Chocolate and Holiday Drinks

The Tim Hortons Candy Cane Hot Chocolate is the most searched holiday drink on the menu, and it is easy to see why. The peppermint candy cane flavour makes the regular hot chocolate taste like Christmas in a cup. The Tim Hortons Candy Cane White Hot Chocolate is the sweeter, creamier version built on the White Hot Chocolate.

Both are seasonal holiday drinks that come back with the Tims holiday menu and leave once the season ends. If you are looking for peppermint hot chocolate Tim Hortons style outside the holidays, ask for a regular hot chocolate with a flavour shot, or wait for the Candy Cane return.

Tim Hortons Tea Menu

The Tim Hortons tea menu, or Tims tea menu as regulars call it, is simple but has something for every tea drinker.

Steeped tea. The Tims classic is a batch brewed black tea, usually an orange pekoe style blend, served with milk and sugar the way you like it. It starts at $1.99 and has 0 calories on its own. The Tim Hortons steeped tea price is one of the lowest on the entire menu, which is why it is a favourite for long days.

Specialty tea. The Tim Hortons specialty tea is made with an individual tea bag rather than a batch brew. Listings mention flavours like English Breakfast, Green Tea, Chamomile, Peppermint and Lemon Ginger, though not every restaurant carries every flavour. If you are looking for Tim Hortons English Breakfast tea, ask for it as a specialty tea, and English Breakfast tea at Tim Hortons is a classic pick with milk.

Tropical Green Tea. A light, fruity green tea at $1.99 and 0 calories, and the pick when you want something gentle.

Chai Latte. The Tim Hortons chai tea latte is a spiced tea latte, the way chai lattes are traditionally made, starting at $3.29. It is my go to chai latte at Tim Hortons when I want something that feels like a treat, and the best Tim Hortons tea latte for spice lovers.

London Fog. A London Fog is traditionally Earl Grey tea with vanilla and milk, and at Tims it starts at $3.29 with 160 calories. It is a cozy, mild drink that tea lovers often prefer to a latte.

People also search for a Tim Hortons Apple Cinnamon tea. It does not appear on current Canadian menu listings, so if you see it, it is likely a limited time or location specific flavour.

Tea Calories: Chai Latte and London Fog

Plain steeped, specialty and green teas have 0 calories until you add milk, cream or sugar. The tea lattes are different because they include milk and sweetener. Tim Hortons London Fog calories start at 160 in the smallest size. For Tim Hortons chai tea latte calories, the drink has a similar milky build and its calories rise with each size, so check the app for your exact cup. If you want the lightest warm drink at Tims, a plain steeped tea with a splash of milk is hard to beat.

Tim Hortons Hot Chocolate Mix at Home

If you love Tims hot chocolate, you can make it at home. The mix is sold in a 500 g can, and it was listed at No Frills for $8.49 and on sale at TimShop for $6.99. It is also sold in a large 1.5 kg can at stores like Sobeys and online, and as single serve pods for Keurig machines.

The mix contains sugar, modified milk ingredients, cocoa and coconut oil, and it contains milk and may contain soy. A serving of 3 tablespoons, or 48 g, has 190 calories and 36 g of sugar. To make it, stir the powder into hot water; because the milk is already in the mix, you do not need to use milk, although using some milk makes it even creamier.

Is the Hot Chocolate at Tims Gluten Free?

The hot chocolate mix’s ingredient list does not include wheat, and the drink contains milk and may contain soy. That said, Tims kitchens share equipment, so cross contact is possible, and recipes can change. If you have celiac disease, check the latest official Tim Hortons allergen information before you order.

What to Eat With Hot Chocolate or Tea

Hot chocolate is perfect with something plain to balance the sweetness, like a plain croissant or a honey dip donut from the Tim Hortons donuts menu. Kids love it with a small box from the Tim Hortons Timbits menu. Tea goes beautifully with a breakfast sandwich from the Tim Hortons breakfast menu. If you prefer coffee, see the full Tim Hortons coffee menu.

Final Thoughts

Tim Hortons hot chocolate is still one of the easiest winter comforts in Canada. For a classic, get a medium Hot Chocolate. For something sweeter, try the White Hot Chocolate, and during the holidays, do not miss the Candy Cane versions. If you prefer tea, a steeped tea is the cheapest warm drink on the menu, and a Chai Latte or London Fog is the treat. Prices change by location, so check the Tims app, and see the complete Tim Hortons menu for everything else Tims serves.

Hi, I’m Jordan. I started this site because finding current Tim Hortons prices online was harder than it should be, and most menu pages I came across were years out of date. I check prices against the official Tim Hortons app and website, and I keep every page updated whenever prices, sizes, or items change. If something doesn’t match what you’re seeing at your local store, message me through the contact page, and I’ll look into it.
