CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- We're a couple of misfits. We're a couple of misfits. What's the matter with misfits? That's where we fit in!
A tribute to the 1964 beloved classic Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer television special and the Island of Misfit Toys, The Rambler Kitchen + Tap, located in Chicago's North Center neighborhood, is hosting a “Misfit Christmas” pop-up this holiday season!
“The idea for our Misfit Christmas pop-up came about, because we thought it would be fun to get together with our band of misfits to celebrate the holidays recalling old memories and honoring a classic from our childhoods," said owner Kyle Bagley.
Along The Rambler on Lincoln Avenue, guests will be greeted with an outdoor scene featuring 10-foot custom-painted wood characters from the film made by local Chicago artist Reaghan Murphy. Inside, each room will be inspired by a different scene with Christmas lights, Misfit Toy figurines, and staff dressed as characters throughout.
When guests enter, they will find the snow-covered forest where Rudolph and Hermey first meet and sing “We’re a Couple of Misfits.” Guests will then find arctic mountain decor as they move through to the cave of the abominable snowman, Bumble. Lastly, The Rambler’s 600 square foot heated and covered beer garden will transform into Santa’s workshop.
But it's not just about the decor! No pop-up is complete without a special menu. Misfit Christmas will offer festive cocktails from $10 to $14, including Yukon’s Old Fashioned; Silver and Gold; the Yule Mule; a Bumble-tini; and many more. Hot drinks will also be available like Hermey’s Hot Chocolate and an Old Country Toddy.
Plus, there will be a themed food menu, featuring sweets like warm baked Snickerdoodle Pretzels; Reindeer Food with rice cereal, chocolate, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and red and green M&M’s; Sam the Snowman shaped powdered sugar donuts, and more. Savory dishes will include a Toy Taker Turkey Sandwich and an Open Faced Chicken Pot Pie on two buttermilk biscuits.
The Misfit Christmas pop-up at The Rambler Kitchen + Tap, located at 4128 N. Lincoln Ave., is open now through Sunday, Jan. 2.
