One of the best Christmas movies ever now is immortalized in a holiday pop-up bar in Denver!

Call to Arms Brewing Company is hosting its third annual ‘Big Holiday Energy’ immersive holiday pop-up bar, and this year the event’s theme is ‘National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.’

Until Jan. 1st, the taproom has transformed into a winter wonderland, with decorations and holiday-themed beers. There’s a 30 x 70-foot tent with massive bauble ornaments, a light show, and the famous Christmas tree ceiling.

For the ‘National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation’ theme, there will be iconic moose mugs, several movie-inspired experiential stations, and an immersive VIP drinking area.

The pop-up is located at 4526 Tennyson Street in Denver.
