Like a home, the pop-up bars will be decked out with Christmas decorations and filled with the sounds of holiday songs. On-site, people will be able to enjoy a range of festive cocktails, including the Snowball Old Fashioned, Run Run Rudolph and Bad Santa. For 2019 celebrations, Miracle is introducing quirky new glassware designs like the dinosaur-shaped SanTaRex and the Missile-Toe.

The Miracle pop-ups are not just places to enjoy a festive drink with friends but also the sites of [Ugly Sweater parties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tgi-elf-days)—on December 2nd, Miracle and Sippin’ Santa are hoping to create "the largest combined ugly sweater gathering in the world."
