Guinness is bringing cheer and treats to a city near you, with NYC's most favorite cookies from Levain Bakery, and Most Wonderful Pop-Up experiences to keep the magic going all season long
NEW YORK, Dec. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- This holiday season, Guinness is bringing people together for the most wonderful pints of the year!
"This time of year is all about sharing quality time together over a round of pints," said Joyce He, Guinness Brand Director. "For me, that first sip of a fresh pint of Guinness feels like coming home for the holidays, so that's what we wanted to bring to life this season. Whether you're gathered around at home with family or enjoying a night out with friends, here's to making every moment a little bit more special."
Two flavor-packed legends are also coming together for the most wonderful pairing of the year. In collaboration with Levain Bakery, Guinness is unveiling a limited-edition holiday cookie tin that comes complete with decadent Levain cookies – Dark Chocolate Peppermint, Two Chip Chocolate Chip and Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip, all which pair deliciously with Guinness Draught Stout. The deep notes of roasted coffee and chocolate in the beer beautifully complement the cookies' delicious flavors, balancing the sweetness and smoothness. These limited-time cookie tin collectibles will be available exclusively at Guinness' Most Wonderful Pop-Up locations and Open Gate Brewery locations in Chicago and Baltimore for a limited time only.
"When Guinness invited us to team up on this indulgent pairing, we felt it was a unique and wonderful way to celebrate the holiday festivities," said Lorna Sommerville, Chief Commercial Officer for Levain Bakery. "We are excited to share our beloved cookies with Guinness fans to savor all season long."
This month, Guinness is bringing the festive spirit to you with the Most Wonderful Pop-Up of the Year, a limited run holiday experience featuring a Guinness tiny pub, Guinness x Levain collectible cookie tins, and more exclusive merch. Those 21+ are invited to visit us at one of these locations:
- Boston at Faneuil Hall | Saturday, December 7th & Sunday, December 8th (2:00 – 8:00 PM ET)
- New York City at The Oculus | Friday, December 13th & Saturday, December 14th (2:00 – 7:30 PM ET)
In addition, Guinness' Open Gate Breweries will brew a few special events all season long.

About Levain Bakery
Best friends Pam Weekes and Connie McDonald founded Levain Bakery in 1995 as a small bread shop on the Upper West Side of New York City. After training for triathlons and keeping a robust fitness regimen, the founders started baking 6-ounce cookies with simple, high-quality ingredients as the ultimate post-race treat. After finalizing the recipe, they quietly offered the cookies for sale, and they flew out of the stores. Nearly 30 years later with 16 bakeries and plans to open more next year, Levain is often lauded as the home of the world's best cookie.
