With the holiday season officially here (he writes as he looks out the window as sudden snow falling) it’s time to start planning office parties, family dinners, and amid the holiday shopping, finding the time to celebrate with your friends and family. All of that is exciting and I look forward to it, but where do I go when I want to pause the stress but still enjoy the holiday spirit? Miracle on Bloor St. of course!
That’s right friends living in and visiting Toronto, Miracle on Bloor St. is back and better than ever! From the team behind Civil Liberties, Miracle will bring its iconic kitschy holiday decor and festive cocktails to Third Place (875 Bloor St West) from November 17 through December 30, 2023.
Holiday themed bars have grown in popularity over the years, but this one is different.
“Covered from top to bottom in all things Christmas, with tinsel, twinkle lights, gift wrapping, candy canes, Santas, Christmas trees and more, Miracle is the destination for Torontions seeking the ultimate holiday photo opp. To continue its mission to give back, $1 from every drink sold at Miracle will be donated to Nellie’s, an organization providing shelter, education and advocacy for women and children in the GTA. To date Miracle Toronto has donated over $130k to Nellie’s.”
So not only can you unwind and embrace all the holiday magic you can take, but you can also help to give back to a worthy cause and take some fabulous photos in your holiday best if dressing up is your thing!
Staying true to its theme, Miracle offers a wide selection of picture perfect festive cocktails including the Jingle Balls Nog, Christmapolitan, Snowball Old Fashioned and Hot Buttered Rum. Brand new to the cocktail menu this year the Marshmallows & Unicorns is a joyful cocktail made with gin, vanilla liqueur, velvet falernum, cherry liqueur, cardamon, black pepper, marshmallow, lemon, egg white, tiki bitters and soda.
Guests can also sip classic delights such as mulled wine or enjoy spirit-free beverages including hot chocolate and hot apple cider. Miracle also serves gooey cookies from Courage Cookies as well as soft pretzels from Mr. Pretzels, available with salt or cinnamon sugar.
