City’s original Christmas pop-up returns to Bloor and Harbourfront with holiday
cocktails, over-the-top decor, bites and brunch, drag shows, DJs, Santa visits, and more
$1 from every cocktail sold donated to Nellie’s Shelter
Get ready to deck the halls, raise a glass and get seriously merry! Toronto’s original Christmas pop-up Miracle Toronto is returning with two joy-inducing destinations – Miracle on Bloor (875 Bloor St. W.) and Miracle on Harbourfront (235 Queens Quay W.), both opening on Friday, November 20,
Reservations for both Miracle Toronto locations open November 2nd at MiracleToronto.com.
With floor-to-ceiling Christmas décor, picture-worthy cocktails, a new snack menu from Fat Rice, expanded brunch offerings, Santa appearances, pet photo opps, drag events, live DJ sets, late night happy hour promos, a festive patio, interactive photo booths, Miracle Toronto is bringing back the joyful traditions guests love while introducing new ways to celebrate throughout the season. And it’s time to get writing – both locations will accept and mail out Letters to Santa, in partnership with Canada Post.
Brought to life by the team behind Civil Liberties and Civil Works, Miracle Toronto has been spreading unapologetic and excessive holiday cheer in the city since 2019. Since its inception, the ultra-festive pop-up has become a beloved ritual for those looking to embrace the fun, nostalgia and spirit of Christmas, preferably with a cocktail in hand.
“Miracle has always been about bringing people together at a welcoming, unpretentious place to celebrate and experience the magic of the holiday season, while also serving up incredible cocktails that support an equally incredible cause,” said Nick Kennedy, partner, Team Civil (Miracle Toronto, Civil Liberties, Civil Works).
Miracle Toronto will once again support Nellie’s, donating $1 from every drink sold at both locations to the Toronto-based organization that provides shelter, education and advocacy for women and children.
It’s TIMMMEEE…for Cocktails
Miracle’s signature libations are back – with popular favourites, playful creations and delicious alcohol-free drinks ready to make spirits bright.
Guests can sip holiday-infused cocktails including the Christmapolitan, Christmas Cricket, Sugarplum Stampede, Jingle Balls Nog, Koala LaLaLa, Merry Mouse-Tail, Run Run Reindeer, Snowball Old-Fashioned, Mulled Wine and Naughty & Nice Shots, available alongside alcohol-free bevies including Ginger Bell Rock, Tinsel &Tart, and Hot Chocolate. For the first time, standard bar rail will also be available.
Beyond the sips, collectible (and very giftable) drinkware remains one of the most anticipated elements of the pop-up, with this year’s designs adding another dose of nostalgia to the experience.
