Pirates, it’s almost time. If you know, you know. Every year, the second Halloween is over, Mariah Carey thaws out and officially kicks off the Christmas season. And every year, I’m READY.
Well, this year, the Queen of Christmas is giving us another reason to celebrate. Mariah Carey’s Holiday Bar is returning for its third year, and it’s expanding to eight cities, including London for the very first time.
As a lifelong lamb, I couldn’t be more excited. I’m already planning my visit, so naturally, I had to put together a guide for everyone else who wants to go.
Here’s everything you need to know. 👇
Mariah Carey’s Holiday Bar opens November 19, 2026, in eight cities.
Locations include Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Houston, London, Los Angeles, New York and San Diego.
London is getting the first international location.
Expect Mariah-themed Christmas decorations, photo opportunities, merchandise and cocktails made with her Black Irish liqueur.
Tickets will be available through Bucket Listers, with waitlists already open.
Mariah has announced international Christmas performances, but no US Christmas shows have been confirmed yet.
Mariah Carey’s Holiday Bar officially opens Thursday, November 19, 2026, with all eight locations opening on the same day.
This will be the third year of the Christmas pop-up, and it’s also the biggest one yet. The event is expanding from four to eight cities, with more photo opportunities, new experiences, and its first location outside the United States.
And honestly, if there’s one celebrity who deserves an entire Christmas bar dedicated to her, it’s Mariah.

There are eight Mariah Carey Holiday Bar locations this year, spread across seven US cities and London.
Here’s where you’ll find them:
Atlanta, Georgia: Pullman Yards
Boston, Massachusetts: Tuscan Kitchen
Chicago, Illinois: Experience 868
Houston, Texas: Spindletop
London, England: The O2
Los Angeles, California: The Valorian
New York City, New York: Moxy Chelsea
San Diego, California: The Beau Hotel
London getting its own location is also a big deal, especially since it’s the first time the Holiday Bar is heading overseas.
Well, it’s Mariah Carey. You already know it’s going to be EXTRA.
The entire experience is dedicated to the Queen of Christmas, with decorations inspired by her music, holiday-themed photo spots, and plenty of opportunities to live out your own All I Want for Christmas Is You moment.
Some of the experiences announced include:
Mariah-inspired Christmas decorations throughout the venue.
A life-size Christmas window for photos.
A special area where fans can send Mariah their Christmas wish lists.
Exclusive holiday merchandise.
Festive cocktails inspired by Mariah and her music.
And yes, there will be plenty of sparkle.
If you’re a longtime lamb, you’ll probably appreciate all the little references to Mariah’s career. And if you’re just someone who loves All I Want for Christmas Is You, there’s still plenty to enjoy.
Personally, I’m hoping for as many references to her music as possible. Give me Fantasy, Emotions, Honey, all of it.

Of course, Mariah has her own Irish cream liqueur, Black Irish, and it’s taking center stage on the cocktail menu.
Black Irish comes in three flavors: Original, Salted Caramel and White Chocolate.
Some of the cocktails announced for the Holiday Bar include:
A Christmas-themed cocktail inspired by Mariah’s most famous holiday hit.
Another Mariah-inspired drink joining the holiday menu.
A little reference that longtime lambs will immediately recognize from her album Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel.
Cocktail selections may vary depending on the city, so don’t expect every location to have exactly the same menu.

Tickets for Mariah Carey’s Holiday Bar will be available through Bucket Listers, the event platform handling reservations for the experience.
Waitlists are already open for all eight cities.
Here’s how it works:
Visit the official Mariah Carey Holiday Bar event page on Bucket Listers.
Select your city.
Join the waitlist.
Watch for the announcement when tickets become available.
Previous editions have sold out, so I’d recommend joining the waitlist now rather than waiting until December.
As of the announcement, ticket prices, closing dates, and age restrictions haven’t been confirmed.
Those details should become available when ticket sales officially open.
You can also follow @mariahsholidaybar on Instagram for announcements and updates.
Now, here’s the question I’m sure plenty are asking.
As of October 20, Mariah Carey hasn’t announced any US Christmas concert dates for 2026.
She does have international performances scheduled, including Christmas shows in Birmingham, London and Manchester beginning November 27.
Other announced international appearances include Brazil, Malta and the United Arab Emirates.
Last year, Mariah brought her Christmas celebrations to Las Vegas with a holiday residency, so I’m still holding out hope that we’ll get something in the US this year.
Until then, at least we have the Holiday Bar.
And there’s something else to look forward to.
On October 30, Mariah is scheduled to release a 25th-anniversary deluxe edition of Glitter, featuring 15 additional tracks, including rare and previously unreleased recordings.
Yes, Glitter.
Mariah Carey’s Holiday Bar is scheduled to open November 19, 2026, in eight cities across the United States and the United Kingdom.
The eight locations are Atlanta (Pullman Yards), Boston (Tuscan Kitchen), Chicago (Experience 868), Houston (Spindletop), London (The O2), Los Angeles (The Valorian), New York City (Moxy Chelsea) and San Diego (The Beau Hotel).
Tickets will be available through BucketListers. Fans can join the waitlist for their preferred city to receive updates when ticket sales begin.
Official ticket prices for the 2026 Holiday Bar haven’t been announced yet. Prices and reservation details are expected to become available when tickets go on sale.
The announced menu includes Mariah-inspired cocktails such as Make My Wish Come True, MC Toasted Tini and Imperfect Angel, made with Black Irish, Mariah Carey’s Irish cream liqueur. Drink selections may vary by location.
The Holiday Bar is a themed pop-up experience, not a Mariah Carey concert. No personal appearances by Mariah have been confirmed.
As of October 20, 2026, no US Christmas concert dates have been announced. International performances have been announced in the UK and other destinations.
