Happy Saturday y’all! So now that I’ve rounded up everything you should do in New York during the holiday season, I wanted to get a little more granular on items I find myself constantly googling during the winter months in New York. For me specifically, I’m such a sweet tooth that I absolutely love the Christmas season with everything being chocolate, peppermint, cinnamon and vanilla. Combine that into a cocktail for one sugary sweet sensation and you have me sold. When it comes to actually finding a holiday cocktail in the city, it’s not as easy as one would think!!

Another thing to think through is that the below bars are PERFECT date spots whether you’re taking out your boo of 3+ years or heading on that first Hinge date, these are the epitome of cozy and perfect for a date night.

From mulled wine to Christmas martinis, I’m rounding up some of the best spots to get your drink on in the city during Christmas time. I know that the sugar high isn’t for everyone, so I’m also rounding up low key, classic bars that also serve festive sips during the month of December. Any place you’d recommend or any hole in the walls you know of? Definitely let me know if you try any of my spots! Have a great day and thanks for reading!
