The holiday season is also a time when night falls very, very early—and to get through it, you need lots of love, a little magic, and a cocktail.
Every year, just in time for the first snowflakes to fall on the streets of Montreal, a pop-up Christmas bar opens in the city—full of ribbons, silver garlands, colorful lights, velvet and plastic Santa Clauses, and Christmas trees bending under the weight of hundreds of glass ornaments.
The over-the-top Miracle bar is setting up shop on Atateken Street this year, from November 12 to December 26, 2026.

MIRACLE ON ATATEKEN STREET
Going for a drink at Miracle is a bit like stepping into a 1980s party at a wealthy home or feeling like an elf in an adult Christmas comedy. It’s pretty, it sparkles, and it smells of whiskey and cinnamon. Most of the cocktails contain a generous amount of sugar. Mariah Carey plays on repeat over the sound system.
You can have a drink there;
- a Christmaspolitan (vodka, elderflower, dry vermouth, spiced cranberry sauce, lime, rosemary, absinthe)
- a Jingle Balls Nog (cognac, port, almond milk, cream, egg, vanilla, nutmeg)
- a Run Run Reindeer (a blend of mulled wine, prosecco, lemon, and bitters)
- a Snowball Old Fashioned (rye whiskey, gingerbread syrup, wormwood bitters, orange blossom water)
- a Silent Night—non-alcoholic (tart cherry, chocolate, orange juice, soda)
- a Mellow Mouse—non-alcoholic (apple, strawberry, grapefruit, lemon, soda)
Cocktails are served in festive glasses and mugs, and you can even take one home with you. It’ll be perfect for our cousin who only drinks beer—or for an office Secret Santa gift.
