TBOX Christmas Bar Crawl, 30th Annual Original Twelve Bars of Xmas, Saturday 12/12/2026 in Chicago

About this event

On Saturday, 12/12/2026, TBOX® — The Original TWELVE BARS OF CHRISTMAS Pub Crawl — will take over Wrigleyville for our 30th Anniversary, starting at 10 AM with Opening Ceremonies and a live band performance at the Cubby Bear!

TBOX is the world's largest, longest-running Christmas/Costume/Holiday Bar Crawl, started way back in 1996 by Chicagoan Christopher "Mr. Festa" Festa, and has attracted over a quarter of a million crazy, costumed, festive crawlers throughout the years.

Bars will include Cubby Bear, Murphy's Bleachers, Stolen Saddle, Country Club, Sluggers, Tin Roof Chicago, Stretch, Moe's Cantina, HVAC, Merkle's, Roadhouse 66, Hacienda d'Suarez, Pilot Project Brewing, Sports Corner, and more — including Chicago's best pop-up Christmas locations!

Your ticket includes admission to all bars all day, $9 in coupons to use on drinks during the crawl, over 100,000 of our world-famous collectible stickers, cereal shots, a picture frame, and much more!

The event is sponsored by and features great drink specials from Bud Light, Kona Big Wave, Jack Daniel's, Michelob Ultra, Good Boy Vodka, and NUTRL Seltzer. TBOX is also sponsored by Rock 95.5, Chicago's Rock Station.

TBOX has donated over $330,000 to local charities, and a portion of proceeds will benefit local charities for the 2026 event.
