<p>Dream of living your best <em>Last Christmas</em>, sharing a Mulled Wine with George Michael in matching festive knits? Yes please. Then slope off to the scenic grounds of The Village Golf Club at Wike, where you&#8217;ll find a pop up après ski bar with ski racks, fur throws, cable cars and falling snow effects. Expect mulled wine and ski shots, a menu of authentic mountain cuisine by acclaimed Yorkshire caterer The Hog and Apple Food Co, live DJ and sax player. Simply, choose your ski resort in the Alps (aka yurt) from Verbier to Meribel, all within easy reach of Leeds, Wetherby and Harrogate without the air miles.</p>

<p>Spoilt for choice in Sheffield, there&#8217;s not one, but four, Alpine bars to soak up the après atmosphere in the city, surrounded by a Christmas market of 60 log cabins of local traders. Open from <strong>13 Nov</strong> – <strong>24 Dec</strong>, the bars will be hot spots for crowds supping toffee apple cider and mulled wine in the market place stretching from the Town Hall Square all the way to The Moor.</p>



<p>The largest, double-storey Alpine Lodge makes the coolest centrepiece in the Peace Gardens. Enjoy panoramic views as good as any mountain on the iconic Big Wheel, where a little bit of wind-chill factor may creep in. Never fear, a traditional German sausage grill, Yorkshire Pudding wraps and churros provide some hearty grub to combat the cold. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Harrogate just turned the cosy dial up to&nbsp;full fairy-tale&nbsp;with the launch of the festive tipi at&nbsp;Three’s A Crowd, and trust us, you’ll want to snuggle in immediately. Think twinkling lights, a crackling fire, mulled wine warming your mitts and the softest&nbsp;Dutch Barn Vodka&nbsp;blankets wrapped around you like a festive hug. It’s the perfect spot for après-shop drinks, nibbles with the girls or a full-on Christmas gathering (just drop the bookings team a line if you&#8217;re planning something sparkly). Grab a drink, settle into the glow, and prepare to feel extremely smug about embracing peak festive snugness. Cheers!</p>

<p>It is even Christmas if you&#8217;re not bathing in Champagne? Well, we&#8217;ve sniffed out ice buckets of Moët &amp; Chandon at Grantley Hall’s infamous Après at The Orchard. Back by demand, this luxe Alpine themed pop-up bar is just the spot to cosy up with a Champagne cocktail (or two), surrounded by fairy lights, fur throws, wood-burning stoves and a menu of tartiflette and fondue, oozing with melted cheese are suggested for sharing (well, if we must). To top it all, live acoustic music plays every Sunday evening – Champagne, chansons and chalet-chic, what’s not to love? Open to both hotel residents and day guests, reservations are required for dining, but not for drinks.</p>

<p>Get your skates on, seasonal Leeds attractions include the Ice Cube rink and Ski Bar helping to spread holiday cheer across the city centre seven days a week from <strong>21 Nov – 21 Dec</strong>. To soak in the après ski vibes, just head for the towering, 4m tall illuminated bear greeting you outside with the warmest of hugs. After dancing on ice with your kids, you’ll be ready to steady nerves with a Glühwein for you and hot chocolate for them before heading for the <a href="https://www.visitleeds.co.uk/winter-season/christmas-markets/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Christmas Markets</a>.</p>

<p>Who thought a touch of the Wild West could look so festive but the sight of THOR’s Tipis spells out CHRISTMAS in CAPITAL LETTERS. Popping up from <strong>Nov</strong> to <strong>Dec</strong> in Victoria Gardens, Leeds, as well as York’s Museum Gardens and The Milner Hotel grounds, these cosy, canvas, twinkly venues bring an Alpine flair to city centres. OK, so they’re meant to remind us of former Viking days, but we’re pretty sure these hardy Scandis cross-country skied their way here. Bob in for a mulled wine, hot chocolate with marshmallows, live music, winter dishes and the famous roaring log fire. Drink, feast, conquer, repeat.</p>
