About this episode
The hottest trend in Denver dining right now is the holiday pop-up. These timely takeovers have been popping up everywhere over the past few years, but this year it’s a bona fide eruption of campy, Christmas-y fun, with new stand-outs, contrarians, and even a Tiki-themed trend within a trend . Food writer Linnea Covington is Denver’s go-to holiday pop-up enthusiast, reporting on the trend for Westword and the Denver Post, and she’s on today with host Bree Davies and newsletter editor Peyton Garcia to talk about what’s hot and what’s not. Plus, they share their picks for your weekend. Linnea mentioned her reporting on the Call to Arms Brewery’s pop-up “Big Holiday Energy.” Here are some links to our weekend picks: 4th Annual Five Points Holiday Stroll (Five Points) Denver Zoo Lights (City Park) Saturdays with Santa! at the Little Man Ice Cream Factory (West Colfax) Yule Night Market (Wheat Ridge) What’s your favorite holiday pop-up bar?
