🎄🍸 Outer Banks Gets Merry with the '12 Bars of Christmas' Celebration!

Hey there, holiday enthusiasts and fun-lovers! Ready for some festive cheer, Outer Banks style? This season, twelve of our beloved local businesses are transforming their everyday digs into a dazzling winter wonderland for the "12 Bars of Christmas."

Originally cooked up as a cure for the off-season blues, this event has blossomed into something way more magical. According to Mark Ballog, the owner of Lucky 12 and a Dare County Tourism Board rep, "We're all about hard work and camaraderie here. So, why not sprinkle some joy and excitement into those quieter months? It's a win-win for everyone - from our proud locals to the adventurous visitors."

The journey began in 2019 at Lucky 12 (a.k.a. Jingle 12 for the holidays), where vintage Santas and reindeers lit up Nags Head, sparking joy in everyone's hearts. The locals and tourists just couldn't get enough!

After last year's roaring success, the organizers decided to spread the festive spirit even further. From Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head, we're now taking it to Manteo and Colington Island, where eight establishments are decking their halls with holiday splendor.

Ready for the grand tour? Here's the star-studded lineup of our 12 participating venues:

In Nags Head:

• Lucky 12 Tavern, turning into "Jingle 12"

Kill Devil Hills brings you:

• Jolly Roger Restaurant as "Holly Jolly Christmas"

• Bonzer Shack turning into "The Broken Candy Cane"

• Goombays Grille & Raw Bar, now "Goombrrrs"

• Outer Banks Brewing, transforming into "Christmas Vacation Station"

• Two Roads Tavern, rebranded as "McCallister’s Corner"

• Jack Brown’s, morphing into "Jack Frost’s Cheer & Burger Joint"

• Mama Kwan’s Tiki Bar & Grill, becoming "Mama Klaus’s"

Manteo will dazzle with:

• Outer Banks Distilling as "Deck the Hulls"

• Poor Richard's Sandwich Shop turning into "Poor Rudolph’s"

• Blue Water Grill & Raw Bar, now "Aww Shucks"

And on Colington Island:

• Blue Crab Tavern as "Sandy Claws"

Mark your calendars, folks! The holiday fun kicks off on Thursday, Nov. 30th. So, whether you're a local or just visiting, come join in on the merriment. It's going to be a jolly good time in the Outer Banks, and we can't wait to see you there! 🍹🎅
