Last month, Chili’s had both margarita lovers and Wicked fans buzzing. The popular restaurant revealed that it would be rolling out two film-inspired cocktails: The Witches Brew Marg and The Good Witch Marg. And they want to keep that boozy momentum going with the return of a fan-favorite margarita for the month of December. To ensure that the holiday season remains as festive as possible, Chili’s is bringing back the $6 Merry Maker Marg.

Holiday cocktails are hands-down one of my favorite ways to celebrate this time of year. They’re a fun pick-me-up, and a great way to enjoy some downtime between holiday shopping and party hopping. And they seem to be everywhere this year, from chain restaurants to more upscale digs, you’d be hard-pressed to find a restaurant that doesn’t have a handful of festival cocktails on its menu.

Applebee’s happens to be one of those restaurants rolling out new sips during “the most wonderful time of the year.” In total, they have five new cocktails. And I was lucky enough to try all of them.

It’s not often that I get to talk about my favorite restaurants here in Atlanta on LUSHWORTHY, so I’m super excited to highlight one of my faves: Marcus Bar & Grille. Although the Marcus Samuelsson-owned restaurant is known for a drink menu filled with fruit-forward cocktails inspired by the Southeast and the Caribbean, they’re getting a little cozy with a new sip. Just in time for the holiday season, Marcus Bar & Grille has introduced its new Toasted S’mortini, a cocktail that’s incredibly dessert-forward.

Described as a “decadent, fireside-ready sip that tastes like grown-up s’mores in a glass,” the Toasted S’mortini is an inviting combination of New Amsterdam Vodka, chocolate liqueur, Kahlúa and cream.

Quick question: Do you guys have a favorite holiday-inspired flavor? Although there are a ton of options to choose from—including everything from peppermint to hazelnut—I’m convinced that one flavor reigns supreme. And that’s none other than gingerbread. While you likely won’t catch me chomping on Gingy’s head, I do love a splash of gingerbread syrup in my chai latte and a solid gingerbread martini every now and then.

And do you know who also loves gingerbread? Outback Steakhouse! Mhmm they love it so much that they’re bringing back two fan-favorite sips for the holiday season: Gingerbread Cookie Martini and Gingerbread Fizz (Non-Alcoholic). And can we talk about how adorable the mini Santa koalas are??

With restaurants like TGI Fridays and P.F. Chang’s already rolling out their holiday offerings, I knew it was only a matter of time before one of my faves shared their seasonal selections. And sure enough, at the start of this week, Red Lobster announced an assortment of bold new menu items and festive holiday cocktails. I’m obviously most excited for the holiday cocktails, and this year, we’re getting two of them: Under the Mistletoe and Sugar Cookie Martini.

A perfect option for those who love a fruity bourbon beverage, Under the Mistletoe features Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon, cranberry juice and blackberry. The cocktail is then garnished with rosemary.

I see you, TGI Fridays! After recently firing back at competitors on social media, the restaurant isn’t stopping there—they’ve just made a major announcement. Looks like chain restaurants are finally embracing the holiday pop-up trend: say “hello” to TGI Elf Days at TGI Fridays, a first-of-its-kind, immersive seasonal takeover. Beginning now, and lasting until January 25, select restaurant locations nationwide will be transformed into magical winter wonderlands. Diners can expect signature elves, interactive experiences, festive menus and over-the-top holiday décor.
