The Hoxton, a hotel in the heart of Williamsburg, is ringing in the holiday season with the jolliest event New Yorkers can enjoy, complete with igloo-like domes, dozens of Christmas trees, and as much $1 hot cocoa as you can drink.

Now through February, the hotel will be setting up three limited-edition domes in its courtyard. Even though they’re not actually made of ice, you’ll still get a wintry feel from the warm blankets and faux fur throws that decorate the insides of the domes. Each dome can seat groups of 8 for lunch, dinner or cocktails and are available to both guests of the hotel and those without rooms. Domes have a food and beverage minimum of $300 per party.

In addition, the domes are surrounded by more than 50 Christmas trees, courtesy of neighborhood staple Crest Hardware. As a bonus, you can even buy and take a tree home with you as well, with 10% of tree sales benefitting Coalition for the Homeless.

According to the Hoxton website, the lot will have “everything from Charlie Brown’s to ten footers, wreaths, lights, and more” available for purchase. So you can continue to enjoy the holly jolly season even when you go home.

Plus, as you’re shopping for trees or enjoying the festive atmosphere, you can guzzle down some $1 hot cocoa with 100% of the proceeds also benefiting Coalition for the Homeless. Or, have a drink with a little kick by sipping on a warm cocktail, mulled wine or cider.

More information on the Christmas tree event at the Hoxton can be found on the hotel’s website. Domes may be booked via Resy or private event sales starting on Dec. 10.
