St. Pete’s most over-the-top holiday tradition is back. And it’s brighter, louder, and merrier than ever.

Miracle at Bar Mezzo has officially returned for its seventh season in St. Pete, reimagining the vintage-style cocktail bar at 1049 Central Avenue into a wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling Christmas fever dream.

Miracle began in New York City in 2014 and has since grown into an international holiday phenomenon known for its kitschy decor, seasonal cocktails, and collectible glassware.

What began years ago as a small, cheerful setup inside Intermezzo has evolved into a full holiday takeover of Bar Mezzo.

This season’s decorations push the transformation even further with dense layers of garland and sparkle, deep saturated reds and greens, brass accents shining from every corner, and oversized ornaments that make the room feel like a spirited, grown-up version of the North Pole.

It’s immersive, it’s nostalgic, and it’s intentionally a little over the top.

“Seven years in, Miracle is still a full reset for the bar,” said owner Jarrett Sabatini. “We’re not just hanging lights and calling it a day. We rebuild the room, we rebuild the prep, and we push to make this feel bigger and better than the year before. Our goal is simple: if you only go to one Christmas pop-up bar in St. Pete, it should be this one.”

The holiday magic extends well beyond the decor.

Miracle’s cocktail menu returns with its limited-edition glassware and a lineup of festive classics.

The Snowball Old-Fashioned combines rye and gingerbread spice over a perfect round “snowball” of ice, giving the old-fashioned a warm winter twist.

The Christmapolitan, Miracle’s best-selling cocktail, delivers a bright, tart burst of spiced cranberry, elderflower, and lime.

The Jingle Balls Nog remains a fan favorite, mixes cognac, sherry, and vanilla into a drink that tastes like Christmas in a cup.

Behind the scenes, Bar Mezzo treats Miracle like a true seasonal production.

The team overhauls prep, glassware, batching, and service flow so they can keep pace with the holiday crowds.

On peak nights, the room fills with laughter, ugly sweaters, sequins, Santa hats, and a contagious sense of holiday joy.

Miracle at Bar Mezzo is now open nightly through Wednesday December 31st, with festive programming sprinkled throughout the month.
