“Kitschy Christmas bars” are popping up in droves, thanks to Instagram. One entrepreneur’s over-the-top pop-up concept, Miracle, has spread from one bar in 2014 to 90 this holiday season; he partners with bars that are willing to “drench their space with Christmas décor”—the more Instagrammable the better. For example, one bar’s Santa chair side prop became their main attraction, so this year, the bar’s co-owner says they’re bringing in a “7-foot red velvet Santa throne,” adding, “pretty much [every part of the bar] is going be Instagram-y…That’s just how it is now.” (Eater)
