"And, in San Jose, part of that tradition since 2018 has been raising a toast at one of downtown's insanely decorated pop-up holiday bars. The celebrations are underway and the libations flowing at three of them already: Miracle on First Street (the transformed Paper Plane cocktail lounge), Miracle at Miniboss (inside the arcade bar on Santa Clara and Second streets) and the tiki-styled Sippin' Santa at 55 South at Post St."
"You can enjoy festive drinks like the gingerbread-tinged Snowball Old Fashioned, the Run Run Reindeer with a mulled wine reduction and the chocolatey Cheery Cherry Chocosaurus. They all come in specialty glassware, including a couple of dinosaur mugs because ... dinosaurs. Sippin' Santa menus include the tequila and cranberry Frost Bite and Wreck the Halls (with figgy bitters). There are also several festive non-alcoholic options on both menus for people who want to enjoy the decor without the booze."
Downtown San Jose has hosted pop-up holiday bars since 2018, with three currently operating: Miracle on First Street, Miracle at Miniboss, and Sippin' Santa at 55 South. The Miracle pop-up trend began in New York City in 2014 and spread nationally. Menus feature themed cocktails such as the gingerbread-tinged Snowball Old Fashioned, Run Run Reindeer with a mulled wine reduction, and the chocolatey Cheery Cherry Chocosaurus, often served in specialty glassware including dinosaur mugs. Sippin' Santa offers Frost Bite and Wreck the Halls with figgy bitters. Several nonalcoholic options are available. Other local venues also decorate for the season, and Downtown Ice opens at the Circle of Palms outside the San Jose Museum of Art after earlier uncertainty.
