"You could go caroling or put reindeer antlers on your dachshund, but if you really want a tutorial in spreading kitschy holiday cheer, look at Miracle (and Miracle On Union in Williamsburg). Since 2014, this pop-up has been turning bars all over the world into Santa’s workshop, with cocktails like the Stocking Stuffer. The iced “hot" chocolate—like Serendipity 3’s frozen hot chocolate, except for tipsy grownups—is served in novelty glasses, like a “Santarex” dinosaur mug. (Did we purchase one of those dinosaur mugs to take home after a few drinks at Miracle one year? No comment.) There’s a reservation fee of $11.95, though all guests receive a light-up hat for their trouble." - neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick
