Thanksgiving is this week, but we can’t help it. We’re excited to enjoy all of the holidays — plus, there’s no shame in planning ahead. Here’s a roundup of holiday pop-ups in Charleston to get you in the festive spirit.

Little Pine

Come deck the palms at Little Palm at The Ryder Hotel. There are lots to do including enjoying festive drinks, skating on the synthetic ice rink, and reserving a cozy gondola. We tried it out; see it for yourself.

Sippin’ Santa

This tiki-themed Christmas bar at Prohibition is back, blending tropical vibes with festive cheer. Sip on cocktails like the Frosty the Merman while basking in its decked-out decor.

The Sleigh Room

Don’t miss a 15,000-sqft winter wonderland featuring themed cocktails, snowball fights, Santa appearances, games, and nightly snowfalls.

The Den

Be transported to a cozy cabin in the Italian Alps at this tucked-away lounge inside Frannie and The Fox. City Editor Erika here. I recommend trying the Snow Bunnies cocktail.

Frannie’s Winter Courtyard

Step into this courtyard, also at Frannie and the Fox, where trees are lined, and you can reserve your own personal yurt while enjoying bites and sips. There’s also a fireplace to snuggle up by.

Blind Tiger Pub

This downtown pub is wrapped with holiday decor ready for you to sit with your friends and enjoy music.

12 Cocktails of Christmas

For a limited time only, Iron Rose at The Mills House has a festive lineup of beverages priced at $12 each. Highlights include Silver Bells and Naughty List.

Bar Mashmas

This extravaganza at Bar mash is back for its third year, featuring fan-favorite holiday menu items alongside exciting new additions.
