Nashville's downtown holiday drinking scene just got its annual dose of kitsch: the Christmas-themed cocktail pop-up Miracle is back at Assembly Food Hall for the 2026 season, bringing elaborate decorations, specialty drinks in holiday-themed mugs, and a new round of seasonal cocktails to the Fifth + Broadway development.
According to Sumner County Source, the pop-up will operate at Assembly Food Hall, located at Fifth + Broadway, 5055 Broadway Place in downtown Nashville, through January 4, 2027. The outlet reports that Miracle will be closed Mondays and Tuesdays, open Wednesday through Friday from 5 to 10 p.m., and run Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. until close. Assembly Food Hall itself sits on Level 2, while Skydeck on Broadway is on Level 3 of Assembly Hall, per Assembly Food Hall's own site details for its Skydeck space.
Miracle's official locations page for 2026 confirms the Nashville stop is happening again this year, listing it simply as “Miracle at Assembly Food Hall,” according to miraclepopup.com. The pop-up is pitched as a Christmas-themed cocktail bar, and Sumner County Source's report notes the concept first launched years ago, though an exact founding date wasn't specified in that account.
What's New on the Menu This Year
Guests this season can expect both nostalgia and novelty behind the bar. The returning Christmapolitan and Snowball Old-Fashioned will be joined by four new 2026 cocktails — the Sugarplum Stampede, Christmas Cricket, Sleigh-Saurus and Merry Mouse-Tail — per the same report from Sumner County Source. Drinks are served in Miracle's signature holiday mugs and glassware, which guests can purchase to take home, and which the outlet describes as having become popular collectibles over the years.
That collectible-glassware reputation tracks with how Miracle has been described elsewhere in past seasons. Dickson County Source, previewing the 2025 Nashville run, called Miracle “an annual celebration that began over a decade ago” known for its nostalgic décor, inventive cocktails and keepsake glassware. That same report noted that last year's season introduced a curated selection of zero-proof cocktails for the first time, alongside new and returning drinks and limited-edition glassware.
Part of a Much Bigger Holiday Pop-Up Wave
Nashville's Miracle location is just one piece of a sprawling seasonal footprint. Heading into the 2025 season, nearly 250 combined Miracle and Sippin' Santa locations were expected to operate worldwide, with doors opening from early to mid-November, according to Dickson County Source's earlier reporting. Sumner County Source indicates this year's seasonal pop-ups are similarly expected to get underway in November.
Nashville has become something of a crowded field for themed holiday bars in recent years. A 2025 roundup from the Nashville Scene described Sippin' Santa as a separate national Christmas pop-up with a different hook — bringing Santa to tropical locales — giving locals more than one kitschy option for a seasonal cocktail outing, per Nashville Scene.
For now, the Nashville-specific details — dates, hours and the new cocktail lineup — come from Sumner County Source's report on this year's opening. Miracle directs those looking for updates or additional participating-location information to miraclepopup.com, the brand's official site.
