Drinking For a Cause | Bring a toy to this holiday cocktail party and help St. Louis Children’s Hospital

Christmas and Hanukkah are just days away, and St. Louis is in full Pop-Up mode.

The newest Pop-Up party you may want to consider is actually two events, and if you plan ahead, you can help make a lot of St. Louis children happy while enjoying some damn fine crafted cocktails.

Merrymaker Holiday Pop-Up Party

Mad Art Gallery is hosting this Pop-Up party from 7 to 11 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 21, as well as the Blitzen Brunch from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 22.

Merrymaker, a 21-and-up event, is a cocktail party with holiday-themed drinks for purchase, including a winter whiskey sour, spiked eggnog and Reindeer Juice holiday punch. There will also be live music, appetizers and some selfie stations.

In the spirit of the giving season, anyone who brings a toy to the Merrymaker event will receive one free eggnog. All toys brought will be donated to St. Louis Children’s Hospital.

The Blitzen Brunch

The following morning, you’ll want to soak up the night of fun with a family-friendly brunch buffet of cheesy egg and pepper bake, breakfast potatoes, a Monte Cristo casserole, Belgian waffles and more. Have a little hair of the dog with a cash bar of holiday mimosas, bloody marys and spiked eggnog.

Tickets are available separately online for both the Merrymaker event and the Blitzen Brunch.
