The Queen of Christmas is decking the halls once again. Following a wildly successful debut, Mariah Carey’s Holiday Bar is making its grand return this season, bigger, sparklier and even more “Mariah” than before. New Yorkers will once again get to sip, sing and sparkle at the pop-up, opening November 14 at the bar inside the new hotel UNTITLED at 3 Freeman Alley on the Lower East Side.
After taking over midtown last year, the glitter-filled experience is heading downtown this season—and going national, too, with new outposts in Los Angeles, Miami and Las Vegas. Expect wall-to-wall holiday décor, Mariah-themed cocktails (naturally featuring her Black Irish cream) and enough glitter to make Frosty blush.
“We are honored to once again work with Mariah Carey, bringing her holiday world to life on an even grander scale,” said Bucket Listers founder and CEO Andy Lederman in an official statement. “There is no better way to celebrate the season than with the Queen herself.”
Returning fans can expect all the classics from last year—like the “Letters to Mariah” postcard station and that inevitable burst of All I Want for Christmas Is You every 30 minutes—alongside some new treats. This time around, the experience adds a “Queen of Christmas” homage wall, Santa’s Sleigh photo ops and album backdrop recreations for the perfect social post. Exclusive merch and vinyl copies of Carey’s beloved holiday albums will also be available, because no one leaves Mariah’s bar empty-handed.
If last year’s New York run was any indication—complete with peppermint espresso martinis, tinsel-covered ceilings and a Christmas tree made entirely of Black Irish bottles—expect sensory overload in the best way possible. The pop-up is a Christmas fever dream, designed to convert even the grinchiest guest.
Tickets will be available soon via Bucket Listers and waitlists are already open for all four cities. Whether you’re chasing nostalgia, a good drink or a little holiday escapism, Mariah’s got your back... and probably your playlist.
