JoJo's ShakeBAR in downtown Naperville has turned into a holiday lounge.
The restaurant's Winter Wonderland seasonal pop-up is open at 5 Jackson Ave. and runs through Jan. 3, Shaw Local reported. JoJo's restaurant and its Treehouse have been fully enclosed and heated, then decorated with Christmas trees, eight-foot nutcrackers, giant ornaments and string lights.
The holiday menu matches the decor. Seasonal drinks include the Winter Wonderland Biggie Shake, a peppermint shake topped with a Christmas tree cookie and a donut-hole snowman, along with Santa's Sangria served in a Santa boot and an Eggnog Espresso Martini. Shaw Local has the full menu and event lineup.
Beyond the food, JoJo's is selling ticketed holiday experiences. An Ornament Painting and Dining Experience runs Monday through Friday and includes an entree, a drink and painting supplies for $36 per person before Dec. 4. A Holly Jolly Mixology Class with guided cocktail instruction is scheduled for Nov. 30 and Dec. 14 at $45.63 per person.
The calendar stretches into late December. A Photos with Santa and Dining Experience is set for Wednesday, Dec. 23, at $34.95 per person, and a Little Kids NYE Dining Experience closes out the season on Thursday, Dec. 31, at $38 per person.
JoJo's ShakeBAR, whose co-managing partner is Robbie Schloss, opened its Naperville location in February 2022. It was the company's first spot outside Chicago, according to NCTV17. The restaurant's website describes the Jackson Avenue space as an '80s and '90s-inspired spot with arcade game tables and a walk-up window near the Riverwalk.
The first ticketed event on the calendar, the Nov. 30 mixology class, is three weeks out.
