Running through December 26, this annual event invites locals and visitors alike to revel in a Christmas-themed oasis that promises to lift spirits and spread joy, no matter how Grinchy you might feel. 

 Miracle at DTO is not just any holiday event; it's an experience drenched in nostalgia and festivity. The bar is adorned with kitschy holiday décor, evoking the warm, whimsical charm of Christmases past. 

Imagine stepping into a space that feels like the best office party you've ever attended, where every corner is decked out in twinkling lights, garlands, and quirky ornaments that bring a smile to your face.  

“During the holidays, we completely transform into Miracle at Daiquiri Time Out. Our whole place is decked out from wall-to-wall with holiday decorations. There's festive glassware and a full menu of holiday-themed cocktails,” said owner Brad Stringer, who launched the annual event in 2018. 

 What truly sets Miracle apart are the professionally developed holiday-themed cocktails that are as delightful to behold as they are to sip. Each drink is a masterpiece, crafted to embody the flavors and essence of the season. 

 This year, the sparkling speakeasy is serving up old favorites as well as new irresistible seasonal libations such as the Christmapolitan, Snowball Old-Fashioned, Stocking Stuffer, Christmasaurus, Crooked Antler, Run Run Reindeer, Santa Slide, Koala LaLaLa, Jingle Balls Nog, and Rudolph’s Replacement, just to name a few. 

 Galveston's Daiquiri Time Out is one of only nine locations in Texas selected to host this festive pop-up, making it a special highlight of the holiday calendar. The bar's intimate and welcoming atmosphere, coupled with the unique offerings of Miracle, ensures that every visit is memorable. 

 It's a place where friends and family can gather to celebrate the season, make new memories, and enjoy the camaraderie that comes with sharing a great drink in an even greater holiday setting. 

 The success of Miracle at DTO lies not just in its charming aesthetics and delicious beverages but also in the sense of community it fosters. In a city known for its vibrant culture and hospitality, this pop-up event seamlessly blends into the fabric of Galveston, enhancing the holiday experience for everyone. 

 Stringer said his annual themed holiday event is just one of the many on the island that illustrates just how close-knit and welcoming Galveston is, not just during the holiday season, but all year long. 

 “The holidays in Galveston are already super special. It's a great way for us to be a part of the holiday tradition here on the island,” he said. 

 And, as in years past, toy donations are accepted for the Galveston Police Department’s Blue Santa program, which helps ensure area children have gifts at this special time of the year. 

 So, whether you're a local looking for a festive night out or a visitor seeking a unique holiday adventure, Miracle at Daiquiri Time Out is the place to be this December. With its enchanting décor, expertly crafted cocktails, and joyous atmosphere, it's sure to become a cherished part of your holiday traditions.
