The holiday season is here. And while you're hanging decorations, buying presents, and feeling festive, a few local bars are decking their halls too. This year, Santa has gifted Asheville with five holiday pop-up bars where you can drink and be merry.

Miracle Pop-Up at Golden Pineapple | Opens Friday, Nov. 21
Bask in the glow of the colored lights while you try delicious seasonal cocktails in over-the-top drinkware — like the coffee and chai-spiced "Rudolph's Replacement," served in a festive dinosaur glass.

Sippin' Santa at The Tiki Easy Bar | Opened Wednesday, Nov. 19
The city's tropical speakeasy has gotten its annual holiday makeover, and its cocktail menu is just as festive. Drinks like the Sugar Plum Mai Tai are the perfect blend of jolly and beachy.
