Here’s When NYC’s Pop-Up Christmas Bars Will Return For 2024

As we near the holidays, we decided to put together a list of some of the most festive holiday-themed bar revamps around New York City. Each year various bars and restaurants go all out in holiday spirit decorations, transforming into magical winter wonderlands for a few months. Some rooftops become alpine lodges or igloos, while other spaces focus more on kitschy and colorful decor. However, the one thing they all have in common are their fun and festive cocktail offerings! Whether you’re looking to enjoy some holiday cheer this season, trying to find the next venue for your holiday party, or just want to check out a new space, here are all of the holiday pop-up bars that should be on your winter bucket list! 1. Miracle on 9th Street, East Village Source / Miracle on 9th Street The holiday-themed cocktail pop-up bar is one of NYC’s most popular, and they’re set to return with their staple kitschy holiday décor and festive, well-crafted cocktails (like the Christmapolitan, Yuletide, and Jingle Balls Nog)! The pop-up originally began at Mace in 2014, but has since grown globally with over 120 locations worldwide, with this year’s location being at The Cabinet in Alphabet City! There’s also a sister pop-up Sippin’ Santa at Thief in LES! When it’s returning: November 18 – December 31 Where: 649 E 9th St 2. Frosty’s, Midtown West Frosty’s is an annual pop-up bar experience that returns to Midtown every holiday season!
