Miracle Toronto (November 18th-December 31st)
Miracle is a Christmas-themed pop-up cocktail bar that serves holiday cocktails in a festive setting. With kitschy holiday décor, cocktails by the team at Civil Liberties, and the nostalgic energy of the best office party you’ve ever been to. Miracle is sure to get even the grouchiest grinch in the holiday spirit.
An instant holiday tradition since coming to Toronto’s Queen St. in 2018, Miracle has popped-up at unique locations throughout the city. This year, Miracle will be popping-up at 875 Bloor St West, home of Third Place Toronto, at Bloor and Ossington, just steps away from Civil Liberties.
$1 of every drink sold is donated to Nellie’s Shelter.

Every year we bring hundreds of thousands of people on the streets of Toronto, and millions more watching at home, together to celebrate this joyous season. We’ve been doing so uninterrupted for 118 years, and that’s exactly what we will be doing again this year, bringing Santa’s magic to town.
