Mariah Carey’s Black Irish Holiday Bar will open at five Virgin Hotels locations with festive cocktails, photo-ops, and merchandise.

The Queen of Christmas cordially invites you
It’s not time for the holiday season until the Queen of Christmas says so — and she has spoken. It’s time.
Mariah Carey’s Black Irish Holiday Bar, a pop-up experience, will open at select Virgin Hotels locations around the U.S. from Nov. 15 – Dec. 29, 2024. The pop-ups celebrate the 30th anniversary of “All I Want for Christmas is You” and are named after Carey’s liqueur brand, Black Irish by Mariah Carey.

Mariah Carey’s Holiday Bar will feature specialty drinks, exclusive merchandise, and photo-ops, including one in which guests can recreate the cover of the “Mariah Carey’s Magical Christmas Special” album.


The pop-ups are a collaborative effort between Virgin Hotels and Bucket Listers.
