The new Christmas Story sipper brings Miami Vice cocktails and holiday fun to the Swan, Dolphin, and Swan Reserve pool bars at Walt Disney World.

Dolphin Hotel

Walt Disney World’s Swan and Dolphin Hotels have just dropped a brand-new holiday sipper, and friends… it’s basically the theme-park equivalent of winning a leg-lamp crate marked FRAGILE (“Fra-gee-lay… must be Italian!”). Available only at the pool bars at the Swan, Dolphin, and Swan Reserve hotels, this $17 sipper comes filled with a Miami Vice—a frozen cocktail that blends strawberry daiquiri and piña colada, also known as “the drink you order when you want to look festive but can’t commit to one fruit-based personality.”

However, yes, this thing is gloriously ridiculous in all the best holiday ways.

Christmas Story Sipper: What Is This Glorious Thing?

Let’s talk about the sipper itself, because this is where the A Christmas Story vibes come in strong.

  • It’s literally a woman’s leg in fishnet stockings, standing tall in a sleek black high heel.
  • The base is a bright red pedestal printed with the Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin Orlando, FL wordmark.
  • The entire drink container rises upward like a glamorous, poolside cousin of the legendary Leg Lamp.
  • Instead of glowing from the inside, it glows with the power of… well, frozen alcohol and questionable life choices.
  • It even has a long straw sticking out the top like someone said, “What if the Leg Lamp also functioned as hydration?”

It’s bold. It’s campy. More importantly, it’s the holiday spirit filtered through a Vegas dressing room. It’s a major award.

What’s Inside: The Miami Vice

Christmas Story Sipper

Your $17 purchase includes a Miami Vice, a layered frozen cocktail made with:

  • Strawberry daiquiri (for the “Ralphie in his pink bunny suit” energy)
  • Piña colada (for the “dad who just wants to sit in a lawn chair on Christmas morning” vibes)

Together, it’s swirled into a patriotic swirl of “I deserve this vacation.”

Along with the new sipper, the hotels have rolled out five new cocktails for the season across their various bars and lounges. These festive drinks were highlighted in the resorts’ Instagram announcement, which teased a lineup of colorful, holiday-forward concoctions joining the seasonal beverage offerings across the property.

So not only can you drink from a plastic leg, but you can also continue your beverage tour throughout the hotels like the world’s most dedicated holiday-themed bar crawler. The new holiday drinks, not available in the Christmas Story sipper, can be found at bars like BlueZoo.

Christmas Story Sipper: Where to Find It

This new holiday sipper is exclusive to the pool bars at:

  • Walt Disney World Swan Hotel and Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel
  • Walt Disney World Swan Reserve

If you’re asking, “Do I need hotel reservations to get one?” The answer is: No, but you need courage, a love of holiday chaos, and perhaps a friend willing to say, “Oh fudge” when you spill it.

Christmas Story Sipper from A Christmas Story

If you’ve ever dreamed of strolling around a Walt Disney World resort clutching a frozen drink served in a glamorous fishnet-clad leg, your oddly specific time has finally come. Just be careful not to knock it over.
We all remember what happened to the last iconic leg in A Christmas Story.

(“YOU USED UP ALL THE GLUE… ON PURPOSE!”)
