The annual Christmas-themed pop-up bar Miracle returned to the Nutmeg State in two locations during the 2019 holiday season: Highland Brass Co. in Waterbury and Ordinary in New Haven. Both venues kicked off official openings of Miracle on Black Friday, bringing its notable festive décor, costumed bartenders and holiday-themed craft cocktails.
