It’s time to toast to the end of a long and weird year. Although we can’t be sipping on hot mulled wine in a wintry Christmas market this year, we can still indulge at these limited time only festive pop-ups.
Christmas on Canal
Deadfall transports you to the North Pole with its immersive decor, where holiday cocktails ($20) are aplenty. You won’t go wrong with the Drunk Uncle Mulled Wine, a warming mix of red wine with Buffalo Trace Bourbon, triple sec, pear, citrus and spices or the Ho Ho Holy Sh!t It’s Christmas made with Monkey Shoulder, Buffalo Trace Bourbon, pimento dram, maple and burnt pecan bitters.
Until Dec 27, Mon-Fri 3pm - 10.30pm, Sat 4.30pm - 10.30pm | Deadfall, 16 North Canal Road, Singapore 048828
Miss Fitz-mas
Find a series of holiday-themed cocktails at this fun pop-up, where Miss Fitz is transformed into a fun-filled playground featuring a Santa’s Workshop. Sip on some classic Eggnog, made with Rémy Martin VSOP and house-made pumpkin spice, or Gingerbread Old Fashioned with Wild Turkey Bourbon, Gingerbread syrup and bitters.

Baileys Treat Bar
The Baileys Treat Bar has been spicing up festive periods with its special, indulgent creations since 2017, and they finally land in Singapore! This December, the Baileys Treat Bar will transform homegrown ice cream parlour Apiary into a boozy dessert wonderland filled with beverages and ice cream that uses the iconic Irish cream liqueur.
Till Dec 31. Sun-Thu 12pm-10pm, Fri-Sat 12pm-10.30pm | Apiary Ice Creamery, 84 Neil Road, Singapore 088844
Melati Pop-up Bar
Melati is Asia’s first non-alcoholic aperitif, so your non-drinking friends won’t miss out on the fun too. Try the non-alcoholic Melati Spritz featuring the Melati paired with grapefruit spritz and cucumber, or the Spiced Nogroni, which comes with Melati, decaf coffee, bittersweet Chinotto and spiced juniper. Fancy a cocktail? Snowglobe is made with pandan vodka, Melati, lemon juice and Christmas sparkles, and Singapore Christmas is a tropical delight of coconut, vodka, Melati and lime.
