@ House of YES, December 15th<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Brooklyn’s House of YES is known for its extravagant \u2013 and usually super weird \u2013 parties. Their annual Christmas blowout takes this reputation to the extreme by offering, and I quote, “Reindeer, Dancing Gifts, Christmas Trees, Mariah Carey, Milk & Cookies, Jesus, Space Dolphins and all of your other holiday favorites.”<\/p>\n

Yep.\u00a0 I said space dolphins.<\/p>\n

For just $35 per person, be sure to swing by House of YES on the 15th for a party I’m sure you won’t soon forget.<\/p>\n

@ Boilermaker, Through December 24th<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

NYC has no shortage of Christmas themed bars, but this might truly be one of the best.<\/p>\n

Sippin Santa’s Surf Shack \u2013 housed inside NYC’s Boilermaker \u2013 is a tropical holiday themed pop-up bar bringing “Christmas-in-Hawaii” type joy to all who visit. Though not a party per say, the winter-tinged specialty cocktails at this decked out bar are just about guaranteed to brighten you spirits all the same.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sleyenda<\/a><\/h2>\n

Brooklyn’s Leyenda got a Christmas makeover this year in the form of Sleyenda (get it, like sleigh?). Featuring Christmas Trees, twinkling lights, stellar winter drinks and plenty of Santa\u00a0paraphernalia, Sleyenda is the holiday celebration you’ve been craving.<\/p>\n

If you happen to stop by \u2013 which, c’mon, you definitely should \u2013 be sure to try the Nutcracker Old Fashion, I’ve heard it’s ~magical~.<\/p>\n
