Nashville is overflowing with options for those who revel in the Christmas spirit (with or without spirits) and dream of eating Santa snacks in a winter wonderland. Have I visited them all? No, absolutely not, but I'll be sure to share to instagram.com/diningwithdeliajo when I do. In the meantime, here are ALL of the details on Middle TN holiday pop-up bars.
