Miracle at Social Capital
Back for another year at Social Capital, Miracle is an international brand that curates lavishly designed pop-up concepts in bars and restaurants across the globe. For our purposes, that means transforming the downtown beer bar into an adorably kitschy North Pole for a month and a half. From mid-November through the holidays, Social Capital’s halls are decked with ornaments, presents, trees, snowmen and faux snow galore. Additionally, guests can expect a full slate of extravagant holiday cocktails and merch, like Christmapolitans infused with spiced cranberry sauce and rosemary, and gingerbread-scented Snowball Old-Fashioneds, served in Santa mugs and Christmas Carol Barrels.
Sippin’ Santa at Suite B
In Automobile Alley, Sippin’ Santa is transforming Suite B into a different kind of wonderland for the season. Born as the tropical sidekick to Miracle, the aesthetic here is as if Santa was on a beachy vacation, complete with sand, leis and palm trees in lieu of snow, garlands and pine. After partnering with Jeff “Beachbum” Berry in 2018, the brand has ballooned to multiple locations, including right here in OKC for the first time.
“We couldn’t be more excited to see the return of Miracle Pop-Up in OKC, and to introduce Sippin’ Santa for the first time,” said event producer Seth Lewis. “It’s truly magical to see people from all walks of life come together to celebrate, connect and share in the spirit of the holidays — there’s nothing quite like it in Oklahoma City!”
Holiday Happenings Around Town
Elsewhere, The Jones Assembly always goes hard for the holidays, and this year’s slate is no exception. Christmas decor goes up early December (including a colossal Christmas tree by the front door), followed by events like Jingle Bingo on Dec. 19 and Gospel Brunch on Dec. 22. Meanwhile, The Jones’ sister property, Spark, is serving Cookie Butter custard all month long in December.
Courtesy of Coury Hospitality, Reindeer Alley is taking shape across multiple properties in the metro — each one sporting festive decor and menu specials inspired by one of Santa’s reindeer. This includes Dasher’s Den at the Colcord Hotel, Comet’s Corner at the Ambassador Hotel, Rudolph’s Retreat at the NOUN Hotel and Vixen’s Vault at The National, Autograph Collection.
And at Symmetry, in Casady Square, the restaurant is planning a holiday dinner and a show on Dec. 15. Menu details are TBD, but doors open at 5 p.m. and the show kicks off at 6 p.m., featuring husband-wife musical duo Rei Wang-Bowen and David Bowen, along with Kendrick McKinney.
