The holiday pop-ups have sprung back up in Boston, and with these two seasonal bars, you are in for a festive treat.

Seasonal pop-up bars Miracle at Mystic Station (139 Pleasant St., Malden) and Sippin’ Santa at Shore Leave (11 William E Mullins Way, Boston) are back and better than ever, with more than just the holidays to celebrate. Miracle, the spontaneous holiday bar created by Greg Boehm in 2014, is celebrating ten years of Christmas-themed cocktails in cities nationwide.

Accompanied by its sister pop-up Miracle, Sippin’ Santa brings a tropical twist to the holiday cheer with cocktails inspired by island life. This year’s menu is crafted by Jeff “Beachbum” Berry, a renowned mixologist, author, and restaurateur.

“I am thrilled to welcome back the holiday season with open arms,” said Boehm in a press release. “What started as a humble idea to transform an unfinished bar into a holiday pop-up has blossomed beyond my wildest dreams. As we celebrate Miracle’s 10th year, I am proud to stand alongside my peers and welcome our beloved guests once again.”

From November 20 through December 31, the two bars will serve up a variety of new creations and familiar favorites like the classic Christmapolitan or new Stocking Stuffer at Miracle and the beloved Jingle Bird or new Sugar Plum Mai Tai at Sippin’ Santa.

As always, visitors can purchase a signature holiday mug at both locations. Ten percent of the proceeds from purchases of the Santa’s Head, Christmas Carol Barrel, and Santa’s Pants mugs will be donated to the Seva Foundation, a charity partner of Miracle.

Below, find this year’s menu items for both locations. New items are labeled with a ⭐️.
