Celebrate the Holidays with Citizen
Eat, drink & be merry this festive holiday season at Citizen Public House & Oyster Bar. Let us be your go-to spot for merrymaking, along with a roaring fire, holiday decor, special menus and lots of cheer.
New Year's Peppermint Pig Roast
This New Year’s tradition has its roots in Saratoga Springs, where a local candy maker started to sell lucky peppermint candy pigs in the 1880s. Since pigs represent health, happiness and prosperity, the tradition goes that you place the peppermint pig in a velvet bag and everybody takes a turn breaking the pig with a hammer. At the end, everyone eats a bite of peppermint and enjoys health, happiness and prosperity in the new year.
For the month of December, make your pig roast a Peppermint Pig Roast and we’ll include a peppermint candy pig, velvet bag & hammer for your party to take part in the tradition.
The Peppermint Pig Roast for 10+ people includes a whole roasted pig, traditional holiday sides (ciabatta stuffing with chestnuts, garlic mashed potatoes, roasted brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, gravy, cranberry sauce, apple mostarda), carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, and the peppermint pig kit. The Peppermint Pig Roast is $72/person for a minimum of 10 people.
