If the holidays are already feeling less like The Most Wonderful Time of the Year and more like open season on Big Capital, here's a way to reclaim some Christmas cheer: drinking it. That's the idea behind Miracle on Ninth Street, the annual Christmas-Hannukah pop-up devised by Greg Boehm, Joanna Spiegel, and bartender Nico de Soto of New York City bar Mace—with Christmas lights, costumed bartenders, and all. In its fourth annual iteration, Miracle on Ninth and its tiki-themed sister Sippin' Santa's Surf Shack are expanding to over 50 bars and restaurants around the world.

That means you can drink the very same drinks from the very same menu whether you're in Raleigh, North Carolina at The Haymaker, Paris at Glass, or Hong Kong at Lily & Bloom. Those universally available cocktails include the Snowball Old-Fashioned, stirring gingerbread bourbon with wormwood bitters, the gin-and-sage–based How The Gimlet Stole Christmas, and the Run Run Rudolph made with tequila, coffee liqueur, iced hot chocolate, and Mexican spices.

On an individual level, some of the bars are offering additional celebratory elements to show off local flavor: Miracle at Mystic Station in Malden, MA is hosting a "Dean Martin, Get Nogged, Ugly Sweater, Christmas Karaoke Holiday Extravaganza" party on December 9th, and the Miracle at Highland Brass Co. in Waterbury, CT will open early on Christmas Eve morning and do a "Kegs N' Eggs" event where they accept toy donations for local underprivileged youth.

Ready for festive drinks served in Santa head mugs, Christmas coconuts, Miracle coupe glasses, and more? From now until Christmas Eve, visit a Miracle or Sippin' Santa near you to drink your holiday cheer (list to be updated as final bars are confirmed):
