Amidst a steady stream of bar closure announcements and news of struggling hospitality workers, some good news arrived in the inbox this morning. The ever popular Miracle and Sippin’ Santa holiday pop-ups announced plans to move forward in December 2020.

Conceived by Greg Boehm (technically his mother) of Cocktail Kingdom fame, the immersive holiday bars celebrate Christmas through seasonal takeover/pop-ups across the world. Each Miracle location features the same menu and drink ware, but the over-the-top holiday decor is created by each venue–and it gets competitive. Sippin’ Santa is Jeff ‘Beachbum’ Berry’s spinoff event, a tiki-Christmas mashup.

Of course, with all the uncertainties and dangers of the pandemic, 2020 will be a little different. Press materials stressed that safety and compliance with local restrictions will be the top priority. That means that some locations will offer their drinks to-go and others will move the event online. However, many locations plan to build elaborate outdoor and socially distant Miracles which could result in some really cool settings.

The signature drinkware like the Santa Pants mug (pictured above) will be back. Some fan favorites from past menus, such as Snowball Old-Fashioned, Christmapolitan and Yippie Ki Yay Mother F****r!, will also be returning.

New additions include the Jolly Koala (Gin, Vermouth and Pine-Cardamom-Sage Cordial); the On Dasher (Bourbon, Mezcal, Sweet Vermouth, Spiced Hibiscus, Burlesque Bitters, and Lemon); and the Fruitcake Flip (Brandy, Jamaican Overproof Rum, Amaretto, Fruitcake, Cherry Bitters, and a Whole Egg.)
