When it comes to the holidays,<\/a> some people can\u2019t wait to get into the spirit of the season with presents and family time. But for those more inclined to be on the naughty list, the spirit of the season means something different as they prefer to get some jolly drinks.<\/p>\n

So for people who would rather party with Santa instead of just leaving him some milk and cookies on Christmas Eve, here are a few holiday-themed pop-up bars in the area.<\/p>\n

Emo XMAS<\/p>\n

When: Through Dec. 28<\/p>\n

Where: 6423 Yucca St., Los Angeles<\/p>\n

Information: bucketlisters.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Even if you\u2019re perpetually sad, you still want to get into the holiday spirit \u2014 even if it\u2019s a dark lonely suffering spirit. So for all the emos out there there\u2019s Emo Xmas. This pop-up bar switches up the happy jingles for sad songs and even sadder sounding, yet still tasty, cocktails. Expect drinks like the I\u2019m Not Okay vodka and lemonade mix, or the mango-infused I Don\u2019t Want to Blue in Love. There will also be DJs, trivia and karaoke. There\u2019s no word on whether Santa is going to show up in all black instead of his usual jolly red outfit.<\/p>\n

This seasonal bar is a worldwide experience with pop-up bars all over the globe, which probably makes Santa happy since he can hop off the sled for a drink throughout his route. Holiday partiers can expect to feel like they\u2019re at a North Pole after-hours party with wall-to-wall holiday decorations and bartenders dressed up like elves serving cocktails such as the Christmapolitan, the Snowball Old-Fashioned and new this year are Candy Cane Lane, Dancing Sugarplums, Blitzen Barrel, and Miracle Mouse drinks. Looks like Santa may have to put himself on the naughty list if he makes too many pitstops at Miracle.<\/p>\n
