It may seem early to be thinking about Christmas but on the other hand, when you start looking at these photos of two viral pop-up bars, you will immediately want to be dusting silver glitter onto miniature evergreen trees, hoisting up holly and garlands and easing your body into sleek red velvet tops (or, conversely, ugly Christmas sweaters). Miracle and Sippin’ Santa, two incredibly festive pop-up bars, are returning in 2025 with more than 200 locations worldwide.
Miracle offers Christmas drinks in a kitschy setting with the kind of décor you are used to seeing at Grandma’s (there’s also a Hanukkah area, yay!), with cocktails like the Christmapolitan, the Blitzen Barrel and the Run Run Reindeer. If you order the Naughty Shot or the Nice Shot, it comes in a keepsake Miracle glass you can take home. There are also nonalcoholic options including a Snow Day Sipper and a Silent Night.
Miracle will open in November at close to 150 locations worldwide. Each location comes with the name of the address tacked on to sound like Miracle on 34th Street, such as Miami’s Miracle on 8th Street or Denver’s Miracle on Highway 16.
Sippin’ Santa carries a tropical theme into the holidays: think Santa meets tiki. The beverages trend towards coconut and pineapple, like the Coco Ho Ho Ho served in a porcelain coconut or the Nui Nui New Year, a multi-person drink with Santa and a friend lounging in a porcelain hot tub with a lime and orchid garnish and a surfboard stir stick. It’s all playful and geared to get you into the holiday spirit with a loopy grin.
Sippin’ Santa will open in November 18 in about 45 cities across the globe (Santa can use his sleigh to get between locations quickly, but hopefully you can find good public transportation). Tiki genius Jeff “Beachbum” Berry collaborates with Sippin’ Santa to create the cocktails—he owns Latitude 29 in New Orleans, which is of course one of the locations for the pop-up. Mysteriously, there’s a Secret Santa drink on the menu, only offered at some locations (you’re told to ask your bartender). One of the nonalcoholic drinks here is adorably called the Designated Sledder.
You put the clove in the coconut and drink them both up—merry months-away Christmas!
