NEW ORLEANS – Mr. B’s Bistro is inviting locals and visitors to experience the magic of Christmas in the French Quarter. Beginning Friday, Nov. 28, the Royal Street restaurant unveils its holiday program featuring specialty cocktails, limited-edition artist-designed to-go cups, and cherished Brennan family traditions.
“Christmas in the French Quarter is truly magical, and we’re thrilled to be part of that experience,” says Cindy Brennan, owner of Mr. B’s Bistro. “Whether you’re strolling through the beautifully decorated hotels, shopping for gifts, or gathering with loved ones, Mr. B’s offers a warm and relaxing atmosphere with festive touches that make the season special.”
Festive Cocktails to Toast the Season – Mr. B’s holiday cocktail menu, available through Dec. 23, features four signature creations:
– White Christmas Martini ($16) – Vanilla vodka and white chocolate liqueur with a sugar rim, also featured as an official French Quarter Festivals + NO&Co 2025 Réveillon Cocktail

Holiday Traditions Continue – The restaurant continues its cherished holiday lunch and Sunday jazz brunch tradition, gifting commemorative jingle bells to lunch and brunch guests from Dec. 3-21 – a beloved Brennan family custom that brings joy to diners of all ages.
