Mariah Carey’s Holiday Wonderland Bar at Ray’s Hometown Bar

It’s time! The holidays start when Mariah Carey says so, and this year, it’s not just replays of her classic “All I Want for Christmas Is You” that usher in the season. The Queen of Christmas is reviving Mariah Carey’s Holiday Wonderland Bar, an immersive experience featuring photo-ops, letter-writing stations, and limited-edition merchandise. After a successful inaugural run last year, the singer’s Irish Cream Liqueur, Black Irish, is partnering with BucketListers, a booking platform for experiential pop-ups, to bring the holiday bar to life. Stepping into Ray’s Hometown Bar Miami, you’ll find lights, tinsel, and mistletoe, and toast to the season with cocktails such as a Espresso Martini with a candy cane rim, a White Chocolate Martini with cotton candy and glitter, or a Cocoa Coffee spiked with Black Irish and decorated with red and green sprinkles. 11 a.m. at Ray’s Hometown Bar Miami, 2727 Indian Creek Dr., Miami Beach; raybarnnyc.com. Tickets cost $25 via bucketlisters.com.

Clara Ulrich at the Fillmore Miami Beach

Born in Buenos Aires and now firmly part of Miami’s comedy circuit, Clara Ulrich built a 25-year career in Argentina before she shifted into stand-up with a bilingual flair. In her show, “Yo Quiero Ser Mi Marido,” which translates to “I Want to Be My Husband,” she presents a “very unserious investigation” into marriage, asking what happens when the honeymoon is over and the routines begin. The performance is 18+. 8 p.m. at the Fillmore Miami Beach, 1700 Washington Ave., Miami Beach; 305-673-7300; fillmore-miami.com. Tickets cost $48 to $104 via ticketmaster.com.
