🎁 The Toy Drive
This crawl isn’t just about carols and cocktails—it’s about giving back. We’re asking every crawler to bring a new, unwrapped toy to donate. All toys collected go to the Beach Cities Toy Drive, run by the Hermosa Beach Police Department, spreading joy to local kids and families through groups like The Salvation Army, Richstone Family Center, The Midnight Mission, and more. Let’s make this our biggest year of giving yet!
🎅 What’s Waiting Under the Tree:
🎄 Costumes Required → Naughty or nice, funny or festive—go all out!
🍻 Drink Specials at every stop to keep spirits bright

✨ Since 1996, the 12 Bars of Christmas has been Hermosa’s ultimate holiday tradition. For 29 years, we’ve come together to party with a purpose—raising thousands of toys while turning Hermosa into the merriest bar crawl on earth.
