Drink Your History: Charles Dickens Christmas

Step back into Victorian times at this festive evening celebrating Charles Dickens and the holiday drinks that inspired his writing. You'll sample period cocktails like Smoking Bishop (a warm mulled wine punch) and Sangaree (a gin-port float) while curator Sarah Bader-King shares the stories behind these historical beverages. It's a lively way to explore how Dickens shaped modern Christmas traditions—all while enjoying seasonal flavors in a historic setting. This event runs from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Alexander Majors House Museum and works well for adults and older teens interested in history, literature, or holiday traditions. Tickets are $30 per person, with a discounted series option available if you'd like to attend multiple Drink Your History events throughout the year. You can purchase tickets through the museum's website.
