"The holidays are a time for connection, joy, and creating memories that last a lifetime," said Michael Innocentin, Chief Marketing Officer at Omni Hotels & Resorts. "Our holiday offerings are thoughtfully designed to bring people together - whether you're toasting cocktails at Blitzen's Bar or savoring hot cocoa in our welcoming lobbies. Every moment invites you to embrace cherished traditions, discover new ones, and celebrate the season in the heart of our extraordinary destinations."

Blitzen's Bar, Where the Cocktails Sleigh
Beginning November 28, the beloved Blitzen's Bar pop-up will return to 27 Omni properties in the U.S., serving up a fresh lineup of specialty cocktails crafted by globally recognized mixologist, author, and bar owner Julie Reiner. As the co-founder of acclaimed New York establishments Clover Club and Milady's and judge on Netflix's Drink Masters, Reiner returns for a second year to share her inventive holiday cocktails and thoughtfully crafted non-alcoholic options.

The Blitzen's Bar cocktail menu features eight signature drinks and non-alcoholic options, including The Blitzen (Woodford Reserve Rye, Liquid Alchemist Ginger/Apple Spice Syrup, Angostura Bitters, served in a holiday ornament), Sleigh Ride (Grey Goose Vodka, Italicus, Lime, Cheeky Cranberry Syrup, Soda Water, served with light-up ice cubes and garnished with cranberries), Espress-Ho Ho Martini (Don Julio Reposado Tequila, Mr. Black Coffee Liqueur, Simple Syrup, Espresso, garnished with a mini MoonPie), the non-alcoholic Merry Spritz-mas (Curious Elixir #4, Fluère Non-Alcoholic Bitter, Lemon Juice, Cheeky Cranberry Syrup), and The Gilded Grinch (Dubai Hot Chocolate, Caramelized Kataifi, Pistachio Whipped Cream, Dripped Stroopwafel, Chocolate Bar, served in a gold coffee mug). Accompanying the cocktail experience is a festive menu of snackable delights.

"After the incredible response to Blitzen's Bar last year, I'm thrilled to return with Omni Hotels & Resorts to make this holiday season even more memorable," said Julie Reiner. "Crafting cocktails for Blitzen's is all about pushing the boundaries of tradition, and infusing classic holiday flavors with playful, modern twists - and this year's menu delivers in the most fun and flavorful way."
