Holly Eggnog Tavern, Coffeehouse and Restaurant

The Holly Eggnog is a elf-owned Christmas-themed tavern/coffeehouse in Santa's Toy Workshop Compound and the Elfin Village Area, Center of Christmas Spirit and Magic City. It's extremely popular with elves 364 days of the year! It first began life on a lesser-known street (Derek Ave.) that's not lesser-known anymore. After expanding that location, the family (unknown but thought to be the children of Hermie and Polley Ellenor) opened another shop on Chris Rd.   The address of the original location is 1470 Derek Ave and the other is 2800 Chris Rd.   Upon the return of the old compound, the entire community begged the owners for them to make one there as well. Hearing loud and clear, the owners installed one there. All three are busy and often are called the community centers of the valley.   Elves, including Christmas and Claus Elves, do not drink alcohol (no beer, wine, whiskey, or anything else). Anything they serve is non-alcoholic. They naturally avoid it and therefore have none in the Valley. For parties, they usually use Mrs. C's special drink, eggnog made mystically and from magical ingredients.  

History of Holly Eggnog Coffeehouse/Tavern/Restaurant

The elf-owned Christmas-themed tavern/coffeehouse/restaurant was established in 1700 as a small eatery away from the busyness of Elfin Village Area and the Christmas Town Central District. Known then as a quiet and relaxing place for conversation and enjoyment, the customers were few but regulars. Busier nights were only because people brought friends who didn't know about it.   Slowly, word of mouth spread to many ears and eyes and those people flocked to this place creating more business.   You probably know that Christmas Elves do not use currency. What usually happens is that Elves, esp. Christmas Elves trade goods or services for work. Most of this happens between January-April or it used to prior to magic returning but let's not get ahead of ourselves.   The management closed down the third floor while it underwent construction, increasing the highest floor to six. Many formed a crew with some even coming and coming at different times depending on whether they were needed or not.   Years passed. A Grand-Reopening was held in 1730. A Hot Chocolate toast was given to the crew and the patrons who started this quest of putting it on the map.   The owners, though unknown, began looking in 1740 at other areas to develop another location of the now-chain of Christmas-themed taverns/coffeehouses/restaurants could be built. They chose a suitable undeveloped area to build a bigger place and six floors.   This second location opened in 1760.   The third location was built. It opened in 2025.  

Description of The Original Holly Eggnog

The Holly Eggnog is a three-story tavern in Christmas Valley. Outside, it looks like every other building except it has two doors. One for Christmas Elves and another for humanoids.

First Floor

As you walk through a front door, the dimmed lights bring you from the cold outside to a warm interior filled with conversation and good food and Christmas Spirit. The atmosphere is relaxing to the soul who ventures within. The first floor hosts the kitchen, tables for both humanoids and elves, Kitchen Manager's Office, Head Chef's Office, and a FOH (front of house) Office.   There is a stairway to the second floor.   NOTE: The First Floor tends to be loud as many patrons visit. And restrooms are on every floor.

Second Floor

The second story has more tables, conference or private dining rooms, and hosts a magical dumbwaiter. It is more quiet than the first floor.

Third Floor

The family which owns the tavern/restaurant has their office on the third floor. It is for the wife and husband. and they also have another office for the general manager.   After the renovations, the original location has eight stories.  

After Renovation - Third Floor

After the renovation, magical elevators and dumbwaiters reach all floors.   The Third Floor is for humanoids and elves.  

Fourth Floor

The Fourth Floor hosts more humanoid and Elvin tables. It also hosts more private dining rooms/meeting rooms.  

Fifth and Sixth Floors

The two floors are for workers only. The GM's Office is here. The owner's office is also here. A break room for their workers s here. There is a room where important documents are stored.   Both in the city resemble each other. The other one semi-resembles the two but is smaller and connected to the workshop.
