Christmas has arrived on Central Avenue. Forward Hospitality Group’s annual Xmas Bar at Glamper is a veritable Winter Wonderland, and it is now open in downtown St. Pete.

If you haven't visited before, Xmas Bar is not your usual holiday pop-up where a regular bar is simply decorated with a few lights and candy canes. Glamper's extensive area is entirely transformed, a process that took three full days to complete. The sparkling and joyful atmosphere is filled with nostalgia and holiday spirit.

Glamper has been organizing this experience for nearly a year: “Imagine palm trees adorned with Christmas lights and cocktails that are as bright and lively as they are flavorful. This extravagant holiday pop-up turns our downtown bar into a tropical winter paradise, filled with photo opportunities, themed drinks, and festive enjoyment throughout the season.”

Downtown St. Pete's biggest holiday bar!

In addition to bars filled with festive decorations, Xmas Bar also features your favorite holiday movies on the big screens, while bartenders craft amazing holiday cocktails. The highlight of the season is the Jingle Juice, served in an ornament cup.

The unique charm of Xmas Bar largely stems from its meticulous attention to detail. Glamper enlisted experts to set up the holiday lighting and collaborated with local artists to decorate the space festively. As the owners often emphasize, it’s not just a pop-up; it’s a transformation.

At Glamper, the Xmas Bar transformation takes place both indoors and outdoors, turning the area into a Santa’s Village filled with holiday food, drinks, and music. Guests can enjoy the complete Glamper dining and bar menus, along with special Xmas Bar-themed cocktails.

It is free to access Xmas Bar (with the exception of special events), so stop on by anytime during operating hours for a cocktail and a photo op.
