    OC holiday tip: Jingle Bar in Laguna Beach has spirits aplenty
    • December 13, 2024

    Wrapping paper covers the walls. Twinkling lights and glittering garland zigzag the ceiling. Mariah Carey and Bing Crosby croon carols from crackling speakers. Festive drinks boast punny names and red and green sprinkles.

    All the ingredients needed for a holiday cocktail bar.

    For me, the holidays and fellowship go hand-in-hand. And a holiday-themed cocktail bar — like the Jingle Bar at Laguna Beach’s rooftop Skyloft on a recent Friday evening — serves as a festive setting to catch up with friends, old and new.

    Every Christmas season, my friends and I research the best holiday cocktail bars. Which ones have thoughtful mocktails our pregnant friend can enjoy? What about holiday trivia — or other reindeer games — to break the ice for newer additions to our group? Where can we find the most over-the-top, Santa-threw-up-here, decorations?

    Then we come together. Celebrate our successes and milestones over the year. Mourn lost relationships, loved ones, dreams. Catch up.

    A reminder that no matter how hectic or stressful this season can be, it’s our friendships that matter.

    And hey, a few festive spirits certainly help us get into the holiday spirit as well.

    Where to go: 422 S. Coast Hwy., Laguna Beach or skyloftoc.com/jingle-bar/ for information, dates and reservations.
