You may have noticed that Publico Kitchen & Tap is looking a little more festive. That’s because this Latin and Asian-inspired eatery has transformed into Santa’s Pub.

Stop by 2013 Greene St. for holiday cocktails like the Cranberry Spiced Paloma (made with spiced cranberry syrup and lunazul) and specialty desserts — think: s’mores.

All of its cocktails are holiday-themed, it will be playing holiday tunes, and showcasing round-the-clock holiday classics like “Elf,” “Santa Claus is Coming to Town,” and “Home Alone.” Oh, and it snows every night at Santa’s Pub.

Don’t forget — you can also reserve a private heated igloo, by reservation only, if you want to dine on the patio.
