Now with Halloween in the rear view, we can set our sites on the holiday season. And while sure, the city will come alive with all sorts of holiday activations, from outdoor ice rinks, to magical winter wonderlands, and all sorts of Christmas villages for the good boys and girls to live out the most wonderful time of the year. This one, however, is for those of us on the Naughty List. This holiday season, Downtown Houston’s GreenStreet is transforming into an over-the-top holiday takeover for Holidaze at GreenStreet, where you can stay for half a drink more.
GreenStreet is a four-block mixed-use space in Downtown, Houston. From its origins as the Houston Pavilions outdoor mall, GreenStreet is now a major entertainment destination in the city with hit locals like House of Blues, Pete’s Dueling Pinao Bar, and Guadalajar del Centro. GreenStreet is presently in the midst of a preceding transformation: a multi-million-dollar development and sustainability project with a design inspired by thealleyways of Osaka, Japan.

Meanwhile, area officials are working on decking their halls for the inaugural Holidaze at GreenStreet. Kicking off Monday, November 17, Holidaze will comprise of three levels of Christmas activations, themed pop-up bars, and festive photo-ops.
Floor 1 will feature a Mean Girls experience. Called “Get In Losers, We’re Going Sleighing”, the floor will feature a giant sleigh, adorned in disco lights with oversized champagne bottles and other props.
On Floor 2, partygoers can find the “Resting Grinch Face” activation, an expansive mirror wall equipped with decals and playful prompts to capture their Grinchy Christmas card. Floor 3 will house the Holidaze “Elf Around and Find Out” experience. That is, a candy cane jail for Naughty Listers – also ideal for photo-ops.
