Christmas in Savannah.
With queens.

Savannah already does Christmas beautifully. We added a professional drag queen, downtown nightlife and just enough bad behavior to make the evening memorable.

Join Naughty or Nice, Savannah Shenanigans' two-hour Christmas Drag Queen Bar Crawl, hosted from start to finish by a queen who keeps the group laughing, moving and celebrating.

What makes this different

Not a wristband. Not a bar list. Your queen hosts the whole night.

This is the holiday version of the Savannah Shenanigans experience: part bar crawl, part comedy show, part Christmas party and part Savannah story night. Your queen stays with the group from start to finish.

Professional drag queen hostHoliday comedy, crowd work, Christmas Confessions, group games and enough personality for the entire block.
Downtown nightlifeMultiple Savannah bar stops with drinks purchased separately, while your queen keeps the night moving.
Savannah Christmas storiesLocal holiday history and lore, including Savannah's “Christmas gift” telegram and the city's connection to “Jingle Bells.”
Riverfront finaleThe evening builds toward Factors Walk, River Street and Plant Riverside's holiday district.
Ridiculous holiday funNaughty-or-Nice challenges, Christmas trivia, festive photo missions and crowd interaction.
Made for groupsGirls trips, bachelorettes, birthdays, couples, LGBTQ+ travelers, company outings and locals all fit.
How the night unfolds

From Ellis Square to Savannah's holiday riverfront.

Exact bars can change with crowds, special events and venue conditions. The experience stays hosted and nightlife-first.

Meet your queen in Ellis SquareCheck in near the Johnny Mercer statue, meet the group and get the night started.
2
Christmas Confessions + downtown nightlifeHead into the bars for holiday comedy, challenges, trivia and plenty of crowd work.
3
Factors Walk + Savannah storiesThe party gets a little local flavor as your queen mixes Savannah lore and Christmas history into the route.

River Street + Plant Riverside holiday districtFinish in one of downtown's most atmospheric nighttime settings. From Nov. 19 forward, the Savannah Christmas Market is operating in this district.
Important November note: the Christmas crawl begins Nov. 5, but the Savannah Christmas Market itself opens Nov. 19. Early-November guests still get the full hosted Christmas crawl; market vendors simply are not open yet.
