There is no better way to celebrate the beginning of the Christmas season (yes,  it’s only mid-November,  I know,  I know!)  than with a cup of spicy mulled wine.

Oh wait. Yes there is.

Several cups of it.

Plus mince pies and candy canes.

And London first Mulled Wine Festival, organised by Yelp London, has it all and then some more,  making it the best thing that could have happened to your weekend.

To find it, easy,  just follow the Christmas trail!! (or you could check it out on Yelp…)

Strong Christmas sweater game? You’re probably getting close…

Giant reindeer? Getting hot!

And when you see a big group of Santas,  you know you’re in the right place!

Download the app and check into the event, get your wristband from one of the fantastic Yelpers on site (and say hi! for me), and you’re all set to go!

Go where I hear you say? The most wonderful place of them all.

Mulled wine land!

A hot cup of the Christmas staple will make you forget that winter is coming.

And soon you’ll be saying that it’s ice cream weather.

(YES,  mulled wine ice pops are a real thing. A really,  really good real thing even!!)

A side of mince pies is pretty much obligatory.

But that’s if you can resist the inviting smell of MeatLiquor‘s burgers (don’t even bother trying.)

Eat, drink and be merry!

London’s first Mulled Wine Festival sure is the best way to welcome the festive season!!

Yelp’s #MulledWineFest is in full swing on Covent Garden Plaza today and tomorrow (November 13-14), 12-9 PM. Entry is free if you download the Yelp app and check into the event.
