A Christmas-themed bar with festive cocktails and mulled wine is opening in Manchester

Just when you thought Manchester couldn’t get any more festive, a Christmas-themed bar will be opening just a stone’s throw away from the iconic Christmas Markets.

For the first time, Liverpool’s beloved Miracle on Seel Street will be making the move to Manchester, transforming a venue down Cross Street into Miracle on Cross Street, a fairy-light and tinsel-adorned Christmas paradise.

Guests will be able to enjoy an array of festive drinks such as mulled wine and Christmassy cocktails (the Espresso Ho-Ho-Ho Martini sounds like a must-try), all while sitting among an abundance of Christmas trees, stockings and warming fairy lights.

Miracle on Cross Street will also be hosting cosy Christmas film nights where guests can watch their favourite festive films such as Elf, Home Alone, and Love Actually.

Miracle on Cross Street’s Director, John Ennis, said on the new opening: “We’re so excited to introduce Miracle to Manchester for the first time this year. It’s the perfect place for couples, groups of friends or private functions in the most festive environment!

“Guests can sit back and soak up the festive fun with a Christmas cocktail and nibbles in hand. We’ll also be hosting movie nights on Wednesdays and Sundays where the best Christmas films will be shown.

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year and we can’t wait to welcome our guests who may be visiting the Christmas markets, doing some Christmas shopping or just want to get involved in the festivities.”

Miracle on Cross Street will be opening on Wednesday November 17th, and will be operating on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 5pm until late and Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 4pm-late. The venue will also be available to hire out for parties and functions.

Walk-ins are available but tickets are strongly encouraged to avoid disappointment – tickets cost £15 per person, and will secure a seat as well as a drinks voucher to redeem a complimentary Irish cream or mulled wine, Christmas hat, candy cane, Miracle on Cross Street pin and a mince pie.
