The duo has created a world where thousands of bows create the perfect backdrop for photos, twinkly lights illuminate the space, and holiday decor abounds.
Some of the over-the-top decorations include overscale ornaments and colored light strings wrapped in tinselly garland. The bar is adorned with jingle bells, classic blow molds, and vintage decor, creating the perfect holiday vibe. Vintage chandeliers hung with ornaments, walls covered in rolls of festive wrapping paper, and faux fireplaces radiate warmth.
As you ascend the “ice cavern stairs”, you’ll enter the Chug & Cheers Chalet – a cozy retreat with flickering lanterns, faux fur hides, and icicle lights. This space has been meticulously crafted with pieces from the duo’s personal collection of vintage holiday decor to feel like a second home for the holidays.
Of course, you can enjoy the ambiance with a curation of delightful Christmas cocktails like Cranberry Collins and Eggnog Espresso Martinis. There will also be snacks like Crockpot Little Smokies and Cherry’s Xmas Chex Mix. What’s not to love?
