Frosty's/Bacall's, photographed by New York Dearest

Admittedly. The food is a little bland, so I say stick to the drinks and gawk at the decorations.

Every year during the holidays, Bacall’s restaurant in Times Square welcomes Frosty’s, an incredible Christmas pop-up. Frosty’s is made up of four bars spread across three floors making it one of the best Christmas pop-up bars in New York City (and it’s open on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!).

Tickets start at $20 per person and grant you access to all three floors. However, if you choose to visit Bacall’s (the restaurant portion of the extravaganza) you won’t require a ticket. Admittedly. The food is a little bland, so I say stick to the drinks and gawk at the decorations.

Since Frosty’s is one of the best bars open on Christmas day in NYC I highly recommend making reservations. The decorations are second to none, there are plenty of photo-taking opportunities.
