Blitzen's Holiday Pop-Up Bar Returns to a Record 30 Omni Hotels
The most festive bar in town is back for a third season, and it has never been bigger. Omni Hotels & Resorts is bringing Blitzen's Bar to a record 30 properties across the country this year, up from 13 when the holiday pop-up debuted in 2024, and every location will be welcoming guests by November 20. Expect hotel bars transformed with shimmering tinsel, twinkling lights, oversized ornaments, colorful garlands and red plaid walls hung with portraits of Santa's reindeer. In New York, the celebration takes over Berk's Bar at Omni Berkshire Place, 21 E 52nd St.

Julie Reiner, co-founder of Clover Club and Milady's and a judge on Netflix's Drink Masters, returns to craft the menu, which features eight signature cocktails and two zero-proof options. New this year are Santa's Soirée, a sparkling gin cocktail with lemon, pomegranate grenadine, a splash of sparkling wine and fresh mint, and the Elf Elixir, a zero-proof dragon fruit and lemon creation topped with popping strawberry and green apple boba. Presentation is half the fun here: The Blitzen arrives in a holiday ornament, Sleigh Ride sparkles with light-up ice cubes, and the Espress-Ho Ho Martini is crowned with a mini MoonPie.
Beyond New York, the lineup stretches from city hotels in Boston, New Orleans and Los Angeles to mountain resorts in Virginia, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire, the Arizona desert and the California coast, with newcomers including Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa and Omni Fort Lauderdale Hotel. Texas leads the way with eight locations across Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Houston and Austin. Seasonal snacks such as Mistletoe & Maple Savory Sticks and Santa's Secret Cookie Stash round out the experience, with offerings varying by location. Gather your favorite people, put on your holiday best and raise a glass to the season.
