If you want to feel like you stepped inside a seriously decked-out snow globe β€” look no further than Exile Brewing's Christmas bar pop-up that opens Nov. 23.

Details: Exile is offering free reservations for the pop-up, "Snowglobe DSM," where customers can grab a drink or a meal at the downtown brewery and be immersed in everything jolly and bright.

  • Expect tons of decorations, including over 100,000 lights, a Santa Claus the height of the building and plenty of spots to snap your family Christmas card.
  • There's an ugly sweater party on Dec. 3 where the DJ will mix house beats to Mariah Carey songs.
  • There's also holiday brunch on the weekends, including a "Frozen" princess brunch on Dec. 5.

What they're saying: Remember that iconic scene from "Elf" where Buddy decorates the department store for Santa?

  • "That's kind of the inspiration," said Michael Zimmerman, director of RipRoar Events, which is partnering with the pop-up.

πŸŽ„ You can book a reservation here. Walk-ins are accepted too.

  • The pop-up runs from Nov. 23-Dec. 31.
