EAT: 京A's Ugly Sweater Xmas Party and More Christmas Madness

Christmas is very nearly upon us and the festive party whirlwind is reaching peak strength. 京A have come up with the perfect occasion to crack out your new ugly Christmas jumper with their Ugly Sweater Xmas Party on Christmas Eve, where if you turn up in said jumper you will get your first beer on the house. They will also be serving up a festive roast dinner for the extremely reasonable price of RMB 100 per person, as well as launching a new seasonal all, the Jing-A-Ling Celebration Ale, a Belgian-style Dubbel brewed with orange peel, coriander, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves, then matured for one year.

Ugly sweaters, or in fact sweaters of any kind, are not on the menu at Tribe Organic Restaurant on Christmas Eve, where they have found the "hottest santa in Beijing" to pose shirtless and spread some healthy holiday cheer. Snap a picture with him on your WeChat moments to get a small gift. Say what you like about this deal, but it's certainly bold.

For those who have fallen off the healthy food wagon, Pizza+ are planning a Christmas feast, when RMB 65 will get you all-you-can-eat pizza by the slice (plus one drink) on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Pizza wouldn't be my first choice for Christmas dinner, but to each their own.

Pizza detractors have nothing to fear though, as there are plenty of Christmas dinners still available for booking around town. Check out our latest list here, which has been updated to include menus from perennial favorite venues including Capital M, Migas, Great Leap Brewing, and TRB.
