Love the holidays but hate the winter? Sippin’ Santa at Wye Hill has you covered with tropical drinks and potentially the most festive, toasty patio in town to kick off the holiday season. Think: thousands of Christmas lights, tons of tinsel, and palm trees galore.

The drinks took us straight to the beach with bevs like the Jingle Bird with bourbon + pineapple rum, a Sugar Plum Mai Tai, the Frost Bite with tequila, sage, and cranberry bitters, and the two-person Nui Nui New Year which reminded us of a winter margarita. Plus, they’re all served in precious holiday glasses you can purchase for your own holiday fun.

All your Wye Hill favorites are still on the menu, and we had to snag the everything Brussels and dill pickle pimento cheese for the table. Psst... There are plenty more holiday pop-up bars in Raleigh this season — stay tuned for more festive fun.
