The holidays can sometimes be a stressful time of the year for many. You’re dealing with buying gifts, cooking food, handling family drama and if you have school aged kids, your students will be out of school for winter vacation. *Cries in Spanish*

Even though the holiday season is meant to be a time to spend with your family, sometimes adults need a break from the holiday stress to just relax with friends and NOT talk about cooking and Santa for a few hours.

If you’re looking for a reason to get out of the house this holiday season you are in luck because El Paso is serving up some seriously festive pop-ups. From full-blown restaurant makeovers to tropical tinsel wonderlands, here are the can’t-miss spots bringing all the holly-jolly chaos to the 915 this month.
