There is no shortage of holiday pop-up bars in NYC this year and they will definitely get you in the spirit.
In the East Village, Miracle on 9th Street and Miracle on 12th Street are back with some wintry cocktails in collectible santa mugs.
And in Greenpoint, The Springs has turned into Donner and Blitzen's reindeer lounge for the holidays.

If you are still looking for the perfect gifts, you better hit up the holiday markets.
Head to Union Square for that hart-to-find gift. With more than 100 vendors, it's one of the city's biggest markets and they have a little of everything.
If you work up an appetite skating in Bryant Park, the holiday shops just a few shops off the ice are serving up bites from the city's best food vendors.
Or if you want to avoid the cold altogether, check out the Grand Central Holiday Fair, which is open until Christmas Eve.
