👋When You Arrive

Look out for your spirited host wearing a red scarf and possibly wielding a flashing candy cane stick. Get ready to sign our event waiver before the trolley embarks promptly at departure time. Be prepared to show a valid ID verifying you are over the age of 21.

🍻BYOB

BYOB for the trolley, but ask your tour guide at the check-in table where you can store your drinks prior to boarding the trolley. Each host bar has a fantastic selection of additional spirits. If your drinks come in glass bottles, you are welcome to bring them onboard, however we ask that you pour the drink into a different non-glass container while on the trolley. We will provide you plastic cups that you can use.

Remember, no open containers outside the trolley. Beverages can be stored in personal-sized coolers (think: what can fit under an airline seat). 

🧣Attire

While the trolley and the bars are heated, we will stop at various locations around the city that are not. We recommend dressing in layers and bringing hats, scarves, and mittens so you can have an enjoyable experience as you get up close to the light displays at each stop.
