If you'd rather be singing "Mele Kalikimaka" with an umbrella drink in hand surrounded by palm trees, this hidden Christmas bar in Ottawa can satisfy that feeling for the night.
Sippin' Santa is returning to The Standard for its third year and from November 24 to January 1 you can swap your ugly holiday sweater for a Hawaiian shirt and pretend it's Christmas in July.

This tropical-themed Christmas bar looks like, "Surfin' Santa puking Hawaiian Christmas all over the place," according to the restaurant. From the decorations to the boozy drinks, you'll be thinking you're celebrating at a beach somewhere.
There are a bunch of new cocktails to sip on this year like the Kris Kringle Colada, Island of Misfit Toys or the Jingle Bird. Grab two straws to enjoy Rudolph's Rum Rhapsody, a giant punchbowl-style drink for two that looks like Santa's hot tub.

The bar plans on incorporating some tropical-themed food options in addition to its regular menu as well.
