Mariah Carey’s Holiday Bar is coming back in November across eight cities, twice last year’s footprint, with a first-ever London stop for fans chasing festive cocktails and wall-to-wall sparkle.
The pop-up returns Nov. 19 in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, San Diego, and London, built again in partnership with Bucket Listers.
USA TODAY reported the 2026 run doubles the prior year’s locations and brings the concept overseas for the first time, landing in London shortly before Carey’s U.K. Christmastime Tour.
Exact venue addresses have not been announced. Tickets are expected to move through an online waitlist at the official Holiday Bar site.
In a news release tied to the announcement, Carey framed the expansion as another way to share the season with fans.
"The holidays are my favorite time of year, and I love finding new ways to share the magic with my fans,"
She added a fuller pitch for what guests should expect this year.
"This year, we're making my holiday bars even more fabulous and bringing the celebration to more cities than ever before! Think festive cocktails, wall-to-wall sparkle, and plenty of surprises. I can't wait for everyone to celebrate with us!"
The same release promised Mariah-inspired décor, chart-topping interactive moments, and surprises built around her signature glamour. Prior stops have leaned into photo ops and seasonal drinks, including cocktails tied to her Black Irish cream liqueur.
Last year, tickets ran roughly $20 to $25 across locations and included a welcome cocktail for a 90-minute time slot. Exact 2026 pricing is still to be announced.
Reporter Nathan Diller visited the Nashville location in 2024 and described the décor and photo setups firsthand. Carey herself was not there that night, a useful reminder that the draw is the themed room, not a guaranteed celebrity appearance.
The London bar is timed to the singer’s Christmastime Tour, which begins Nov. 27 with U.K. shows in Birmingham, London, and Manchester. For fans already chasing the “All I Want for Christmas Is You” circuit, the pop-up gives them one more stop before the concert halls fill up.
Whether the formula holds at double the footprint will show up in the waitlists. The pitch is simple: festive drinks, heavy sparkle, and a short, ticketed hit of Christmas excess in cities that can support it.
In a culture quick to lecture people about how they celebrate, a bar that sells pure seasonal cheer still knows its audience.
