For the holiday season, Country Club has transformed into Christmas Club, a two-story wonderland filled with festive cheer and holiday magic. From November through December, guests can immerse themselves in the ultimate holiday party experience, featuring three distinct rooms and three lively bars. Adorned with twinkling lights, dazzling decorations, and the warm ambiance of holiday classics, this pop-up is perfect for spreading cheer with friends and family. Visitors may even catch Santa and his helpers making surprise appearances to add an extra touch of holiday fun. Best of all, Christmas Club welcomes everyone with no cover charge, making it an unmissable spot for a night of festive revelry in Wrigleyville.

At Merkle's Bar & Grill, the enchanting charm of "The Nutcracker" has come to life as the venue has transformed into a winter wonderland, with twinkling lights, oversized nutcracker figurines, and lush greenery that evokes the festive spirit of the season. The warm, inviting atmosphere is perfect for gathering with friends as you visit Wrigleyville during this holiday season. Patrons can sip on festive holiday cocktails inspired by the characters and scenes from The Nutcracker, creating magical memories in a place where every sip is a step into a fairytale. Meanwhile, The Cubby Bear has been reimagined as The Polar Bear, and Happy Camper offers "Happy Alcoholidays" with specialty drinks like the Polar Espresso Martini and Dough Ho Ho Old Fashioned. Wrigleyville residents and visitors are encouraged to explore these uniquely themed venues as part of a neighborhood-wide celebration that complements the returning Christkindlmarket at Gallagher Way opening November 23.
