Christmas Tree Lighting at Central Taco

Town-wide lighting party launches the holiday pop-up’s second season with new private igloos, festive cocktails, and events through January 3.

Central is going all out, inside and out. A glowing holiday façade welcomes guests into rooms transformed into Winter Wonderland, Classic Christmas, Polar Express, Whoville, and Santa’s Workshop, setting the scene for festive nights out and family celebrations.

New this year, private outdoor holiday igloos offer a cozy gathering spot for up to 10 guests each, complete with heat, comfortable seating, and blankets. Guests can book an igloo for a night with friends or a small holiday party, with additional indoor spaces available for celebrations of up to 30 guests. Explore spaces, party packages, and booking inquiries at centraltandt.com/holiday-private-parties. 

“Last year, it was so much fun watching guests walk in and discover the transformation. There was a little magic in seeing everyone get into the holiday spirit together,” said Amanda Lober, Director of Operations for PJW Restaurant Group, who oversees Central Taco & Tequila. “We can’t wait to build on that this year, with new ways to celebrate and even more reasons to make Holiday Central part of the season.”

Behind the bar, returning favorites include Jingle Juice, a bubbly sangria served in a take-home ornament glass; the Mistletoe Mule, featuring Tito’s Handmade Vodka, cranberry, lime, and ginger beer; and the Jack Frost Margarita, a snowy-blue blend of tequila, coconut, and citrus.

DJ Byrd keeps the celebration going every Friday at 6 PM, while Weekend Holiday Brunch runs every Saturday and Sunday from 11 AM–2 PM. December’s special events include:

• December 3 at 5 PM: Yuletide Trivia
