Prince Waikiki, the award-winning oceanfront hotel at the gateway of the vibrant Waikiki neighborhood, is kicking off the festive season with a brand-new, exclusive partnership with Miracle Bar’s festive tiki-themed counterpart, Sippin’ Santa. The exclusive holiday cocktail experience marks the first-ever Miracle Bar pop-up in the State of Hawai’i and will be open daily from 4-10pm beginning on Wednesday, December 1 through December 31.
Hawaii’s First Sippin’ Santa Holiday at Prince Waikiki
“We are so excited to be the first-ever Miracle Bar location in the State of Hawai’i and we are thrilled to welcome kama’aina and our guests this holiday season at Sippin’ Santa at Prince Waikiki,” said Joshua Hargrove, General Manager at Prince Waikiki. “We are also honored to support local businesses by offering festive shopping experiences for holiday shoppers and a showstopping lights tour in collaboration with the Holly Jolly Waikiki Trolley.”
Since its inception in 2014 as a kitschy pop-up bar in New York City, Miracle Bar has brought cocktails and cheer international. This year’s Sippin’ Santa at Prince Waikiki is its first introduction in the South Pacific, with Tiki-inspired cocktails and fare that celebrate the Aloha holiday spirit.
As part of its Holidaze programming initiative, Prince Waikiki—recently voted the number two hotel in Hawai’i by Travel + Leisure and Condé Nast Traveler—will transform its spacious outdoor patio into a Tiki-themed Winter wonderland complete with festive décor featuring red and green hibiscus flower garland string lights through the twinkling tunnel entrance, wooden Tiki sculptures, holiday lanterns, stockings, specialty drinkware and more. Creative festive-themed cocktails are sure to put any Scrooge in the holiday spirit, including the signature Sippin’ Santa, The Regifter, Azul Navidad, Yule Log Grog, Kris Kringle Colada, and more. For a full list of cocktails, please find the Sippin’ Santa menu here.
