It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas — especially in these pop-up holiday bars around Seattle. Here’s where you can expect to get cheers-y and bright.

Christmas Dive Bar | This new and wildly decorated pop-up is taking over The Woods at 1512 11th Ave. in Capitol Hill with cocktails like the Eggnog Espresso Martini and a Campfire Old Fashioned made with a marshmallow garnish.

Miracle on 2nd Avenue | The classic holiday takeover is back with drinks like it’s Christmas Cricket made with tequila, vanilla liqueur, and minty amaro. Proceeds go to charity.

Sippin’ Santa | This tropical spin on traditional holiday flavors will feels like you took a sweet winter vacation to the Caribbean. Cocktails include the Surf Nut made with Puetro Rican rum, spiced coconut water, coconut cream, and apricot brandy.
