The tree isn’t the only thing getting lit this holiday season: The Christmas-themed Miracle pop-up returns to the Kimpton Marlowe Hotel through Dec. 24. The lobby bar transforms into a winter playground decked out with ornaments dangling from the ceiling, stockings hung with care and bartenders donning their favorite ugly Christmas sweaters while serving cocktails. Sip on the Snowball Old Fashioned with butterscotch rye, pumpkin pie-flavored Christmas Carol Barrel and the Koala-La La La, La La La La with eucalyptus syrup. Guests can also chow down on snacks prepared by executive chef David Bazirgan, such as cake pops, dan dan noodles, spiced cashews and pork belly buns, while listening to carols around the cozy marble fireplace.
