A Country Christmas Pop-Up at BOE

Cowboy boots. Christmas lights. A little holiday trouble.

This holiday season, BOE is getting a country Christmas makeover. Welcome to Saddle Up Santa, where honky-tonk spirit meets holiday cheer—with festive cocktails, twinkling lights, and a mechanical bull ready to test who belongs on the naughty list.

On Friday, November 27th, grab your crew, throw on your santa or cowboy hat, and make yourself at home for a night of Christmas with a country kick.

You can expect over-the-top holiday decor, Christmas inspired cocktails in fun themed vessels, weekly specials & featured events, Holiday flicks & live entertainment, and festive bites.

A Honky-Tonk Holiday Makeover: Think of a Greswoldian explosion of Christmas lights, oversized ornaments, shimmering farmland, giant candy canes, cowboy-boot stockings—all kitschy holiday decor with some BOE attitude.

Holiday Cocktails: Sip seasonal cocktails made for raising a little Christmas spirit. Including:

Sleigh All Night ($10: Frozen espresso martini made with espresso, vodka and coffee liqueur, blended until velvety smooth.
Whiskey Wonderland ($10): Frozen adult hot chocolate made with rich chocolate and whiskey.
Jingle Belle Blush ($10): Fruit-forward red or white sangria topped with a sweet prosecco foam.
North Pole Meltdown ($10): Spicy margarita made with tequila, lime and bold chili heat.
North Pole Meltdown ($10): Spicy margarita made with tequila, lime and bold chili heat.

Festive Bites

Featuring holiday comfort twists like the Santa Sliders (a mini christmas dinner with sliced roasted chicken stuffing, cranberry jam, gravy), candy bacon lollipops, grinchy’s glizzy, and 50 cent naught and nice wings (smokey and spicy or sweet caramel bourbon).

Holiday Bull Rides: Saddle up and see how long you can hang on. Bonus style points for Santa suits and cowboy boots.

“Bad Santa” Photo Spot: Round up your crew for a holiday photo worthy of the group chat—and your Christmas card.

Dress the Part: Ugly sweaters, festive flannels, Santa hats, and Christmas cowboys are encouraged. The more holiday spirit, the better.

Whether you’re planning a holiday get-together, bringing a date, or rounding up friends for a festive night out, Saddle Up Santa at BOE is your excuse to trade the silent night for a little honky-tonk holiday fun.

Make a list and check it twice - whatever you do, don’t forget to order something boozy on ice!

Boots on. Drinks up. Saddle Up Santa
