Sip, sip, hooray! A new Christmas bar has jingled its way into Toronto and you'll feel like you've stepped into a sparkly gingerbread world.

Ginger's Cocktail Bar is a new holiday pop-up that has transformed the second floor of Le Dolci into a "baking-inspired winter wonderland adventure filled with Christmas decor, cheerful music, holiday-themed cocktails," and more, according to a press release.

Running from November 15 to December 24, 2024, the attraction is brimming with glittering Christmas trees, candy-themed ornaments, cute photo ops and twinkly lights.

"Ginger's Cocktail Bar is designed for everyone who loves the magic of the holiday season and appreciates well-made, beautiful drinks and scrumptious sweets," Lisa Sanguedolce, owner of Le Dolci Culinary Classroom & Studio said in the release.

"We’ve had so much fun transforming our studio into a Santa-approved, festive paradise to create a joy-filled experience open to guests of all ages – making it the perfect destination for outings with friends, colleagues and the whole family."

The menu features a range of boozy and non-alcoholic drinks with a Christmassy twist. You can sip cocktails like the Gingerbread Dream Martini, Rum Nog Royale, and the adorable Snow Globe Frosty with a little marshmallow snowman.
