Christmas jumpers, sequins, velvet bows and outrageously fabulous partywear encouraged!

🎅 Meet Santa Paws AND the Grinch! Two very special guests are coming to POP+BARK. Take your Chihuahua to meet Santa, pose with the Grinch and make a Christmas memory that's going straight on the mantelpiece. Naughty or nice? With Chihuahuas, we suspect Santa might have a few questions...

Expect gorgeous festive backdrops, Christmas props and ridiculously cute moments. Plus, we'll have a talented artist drawing beautiful pawtraits of your pup. A little keepsake to treasure!

🍸 We're taking over The Happenstance, a stunning bar in Paternoster Square, beautifully decorated for Christmas! With gorgeous interiors, a magical winter terrace and a secure space for off-lead Chihuahua madness, it's the perfect setting for a festive evening out. Grab a cocktail, order something delicious and soak up the atmosphere!

🧁 No POP+BARK pawty would be complete without our iconic Pupuccino Bar, and Christmas calls for a festive glow-up! Your Chihuahua can tuck into their very own teeny tiny gingerbread pup cup with delicious toppings like turkey and cranberry. Small portions, enormous excitement!

🎾 Expect festive stuffies, nutcrackers, toys, bubbles, balls and heaps of doggy fun ready to chase, squeak, sniff, pounce on and play with. Basically, a Chihuahua's Christmas wish list come to life! 🎄🐾

🐶 Calling ALL Chihuahuas! From teeny tiny smooth-coated sweethearts to fabulous long-haired little showstoppers, every Chihuahua is invited to join the festivities. Big ears, tiny paws, dramatic expressions and absolutely outrageous personalities. The more little characters, the merrier!

❄️ Safe, secure and off-lead. Once inside our dedicated event space, the leads can come off and the fun can begin. Let them sniff, explore, play and make new friends at their own pace while you mingle with fellow Chihuahua people.

✨ No Chihuahua? No problem! Dog lovers are always welcome at POP+BARK. Come for the cocktails, stay for the Christmas chaos and spend a glorious evening surrounded by an utterly ridiculous number of tiny dogs with enormous personalities. Quite possibly the cutest Christmas party in London!

❤️ And bring the whole gang! We're family-friendly, so dig out the Christmas partywear, add all the sparkle and make a proper festive evening of it in magical London. With St Paul's Cathedral, a beautiful winter terrace, Santa Paws, the Grinch and Chihuahuas EVERYWHERE, what better way to celebrate Christmas? 🎄

HOSTED BY POP+BARK

You've seen us on BBC Dragons' Den and Blue Peter. You've followed the chaos on social. Now it's time to experience POP+BARK IRL.

With over 400,000 guests through our doors, we're known for throwing BIG dog events where the dogs are always the main characters. Everything we do is designed around one very important question: will the dogs absolutely LOVE it? Because happy dogs = happy humans.

It's really that simple. So expect a room full of new besties, ridiculous festive photo opportunities and pure, wholesome dog-fuelled serotonin. Add a little Christmas magic into the mix and you've got a pretty joyful evening out.

Come experience it for yourself and leave happier than you arrived, with brilliant memories, one very merry little dog and a camera roll absolutely full to the brim of loveliness!

CHRISTMAS, BUT MAKE IT TINY

You KNOW we're not doing Christmas by halves! Expect beautifully decorated Christmas trees, twinkling lights, Nutcrackers, tinsel, sparkle and festive props GALORE. The Happenstance will be looking absolutely magical, and we're filling it with London's tiniest, sassiest Christmas party guests!

And the main event? Your pint-sized bestie gets to meet Santa Paws and The Grinch! 🎅🐾 Tiny dogs, BIG Christmas magic and possibly the most adorable meet and greet EVER. Prepare for some ridiculously cute festive photos and at least a few Chihuahuas giving Santa the most spectacular side-eye.

With Christmas music playing, cocktails flowing and hundreds of little paws pattering around, this is one of those POP+BARK events we look forward to all year. A proper festive celebration for the smallest dogs with the biggest personalities!

COME MEET LOTS OF CHIHUAHUAS

From bouncy little Chihuahua pups finding their paws to distinguished seniors who've perfected the art of being carried around like royalty, Chihuahuas of all ages are welcome to mingle, make friends and find their fellow tiny-dog crew!

Our events are a brilliant way to socialise your Chihuahua in a safe, secure space where they can be completely OFF-LEAD. No awkward pavement hellos. No tangled leads. Just the freedom to sniff, explore, play, make new besties or simply potter around at their own pace!

And trust us, there's something magical about watching a room full of Chihuahuas come together. The enormous ears, the little trotters, the wagging tails and the sheer amount of attitude packed into such tiny bodies! Add Christmas sparkle and festive tunes into the mix and you've got one ridiculously happy place to be. ✨

And don't forget, ALL Chihuahuas are welcome! Long-haired, short-haired, tiny, slightly chunky, shy little sweethearts and confident miniature CEOs. We love them all. The more tiny faces, the merrier! 🐶🎄

DRESSED TO SLEIGH 🎄✨

Christmas jumpers, sequins, velvet, bows and DAZZLE are very much encouraged. Whether your Chihuahua is serving cosy Christmas knit, Santa's tiniest little helper, head-to-paw sparkle or a festive outfit that's almost as extra as their personality, we want to see it!

Better still, get involved yourself. Think Christmas party dresses, fabulous festive trousers, a little velvet, a lot of sparkle and cocktails to match. This is an evening event, after all, and the perfect excuse for you AND your Chihuahua to get properly dressed up! 🎄🪩

There will be an online social competition for the best and most festively dressed guests. And with Chihuahuas involved, we're expecting some seriously fabulous entries!

MEET SANTA PAWS & THE GRINCH 🎅💚

Two VERY special Christmas guests are joining our tiniest partygoers! Santa Paws himself AND the mischievous Grinch are coming to POP+BARK, ready to meet London's most fabulously festive Chihuahuas!

Take your little bestie to meet the big dog himself, pose for some magical Christmas photos and watch as the Grinch attempts to steal Christmas. 

Although with a room full of Chihuahuas, we suspect he might have finally met his match!Think tiny Christmas jumpers, enormous Santa hats, wagging tails and the most ridiculously adorable festive photo opportunities. 

Whether your Chihuahua is on the naughty list, the nice list or firmly believes they OWN the list, this is one Christmas memory you won't want to miss! 

MAKE NEW HUMAN FRIENDS

The humans tend to find their tribe too!

Chat to fellow Chihuahua obsessives, swap stories, make new friends and bond over the joys of living with a tiny little dictator who firmly believes they run the entire household. The blanket stealing, the dramatic demands, the insistence on being carried and the ability to occupy an entire sofa despite weighing next to nothing...

It's socialising, but the POP+BARK way. Safe, relaxed, ridiculously wholesome and completely led by the dogs. Just with Christmas music, a little sparkle and possibly a festive cocktail in hand. ✨🥂

DOG LOVERS WELCOME

No dog required to attend. Just a healthy obsession with Chihuahuas and a little Christmas spirit! 🎄✨ Our Dog Lover tickets are your invitation to spend a magical evening surrounded by enormous ears, tiny paws and the most ridiculously lovable little characters.

Always dreamed of owning a Chihuahua? Come meet Chihuahuas of all colours, coats and ages, chat to their humans and discover what makes these affectionate, hilarious, fiercely loyal little dogs so completely irresistible. Be warned, you might leave wanting an entire Chihuahua collection of your own! 🐶❤️

Need a festive serotonin fix? Bring your bestie, surprise a Chihuahua-obsessed friend or plan the cutest Christmas date night. Come meet some tiny dogs, grab a fabulous cocktail, take 600 photos and leave significantly merrier than you arrived. Bonus points if you get adopted by a Chihuahua for the evening! 🎄🥂

THE ICONIC PUPUCCINO BAR 🧁

No POP+BARK event is complete without a trip to our iconic Pupuccino Bar, and this Christmas, we're giving it a deliciously festive glow-up! 🎄🧁

Watch your Chihuahua take their rightful place at the bar and tuck into a teeny tiny gingerbread pup cup topped with tasty treats and all their favourite goodies. Consider it their very own miniature Christmas feast!

It's messy. It's ridiculously cute. And with Chihuahuas involved, expect some VERY enthusiastic taste-testing. Little mouths, BIG appetites and absolutely no shame when it comes to getting Pupuccino all over those adorable little faces!

Because a Pupuccino isn't just a snack. It's a whole moment. And watching a Chihuahua the size of a handbag enthusiastically demolish their tiny cup might just be the most wholesome thing you see all Christmas! 🎅🐾

FAMILY FRIENDLY FUN

Calling all little elves (and big kids too), POP+BARK Christmas is made for the whole family! 🎄✨

We'll have Christmas activity sheets, heaps of festive dog toys and squishies to play with the Chihuahuas, plus our famous Bubble Bash. Technically for the dogs, but we've yet to meet a kid who doesn't get just as excited when the bubbles start flying!

Dress them up, bring them along and prepare for a room FULL of tiny paws, enormous ears, wagging tails, Christmas sparkle and festive fun. With this many Chihuahuas in one place, there's never a dull moment! And don't forget, there's a VERY special someone waiting to meet them too... Santa Paws! 🎅🐾

And if the grown-ups happen to have a festive cocktail in hand while all this is going on? Even better. 🥂✨

HELD AT THE HAPPENSTANCE

Right beside the magnificent St Paul's Cathedral in Paternoster Square, The Happenstance is one of London's loveliest settings for a Christmas celebration. Beautifully decorated for the festive season, with gorgeous interiors, twinkling lights and a stunning winter terrace, it's an absolute dream for a doggy Christmas party!

It's big, beautiful and made for mingling, with plenty of floor space, comfy seating and a wonderfully festive atmosphere. Perfect for our little four-legged guests to explore while their humans settle in for an evening of Christmas fun.

So make yourself at home, grab one of their fabulous cocktails or a refreshing spritz, and tuck into something delicious. They've got fantastic sharing boards, tasty light bites and a great food menu to choose from. And if cocktails aren't your thing, they make a seriously good coffee too!

With Christmas music, delicious food, fabulous drinks and a room full of Chihuahuas, it's the perfect place to relax, soak up the atmosphere and make a real occasion of your POP+BARK visit. 🥂🐾
