The Chiefs are bringing Kingdom’s Greetings back to Arrowhead for another holiday season, and the pop-up bar is sticking with the formula fans know: food, holiday cocktails, photo ops and a fresh batch of new activities layered into the experience.
“There’s something special about seeing Arrowhead transformed for the holidays,” Chiefs Vice President of Arrowhead Events Jeremy Slavens said. “Kingdom’s Greetings has become a tradition we’re incredibly proud of, and each year we look for new ways to surprise and delight our guests. This season, we’re taking that magic even further with new immersive elements, expanded experiences and more ways for Chiefs Kingdom to celebrate together.”
One of the biggest additions is the Nice List, an exclusive private suite for groups of two to 15 guests. The package includes complimentary sparkling wine, charcuterie upon arrival, a suite attendant and premium parking, plus access to an additional menu with top-shelf cocktails and other food items.
Reservations for the Nice List are available through Dec. 20.
Another new offering arrives on Dec. 13, when Making Merry will feature guided watercolor painting sessions with local Kansas City artist Sarah Ruth Frey. That same day, the Mahjong & Merriment Corner will offer open play with holiday mahjong sets provided by Mahjong Élevé.
The watercolor sessions are scheduled for 11:30 a.m., noon, 12:30 p.m. and 1 p.m., and tickets are priced at $40 per person until they sell out.
Tickets for Kingdom’s Greetings go on sale Thursday, Oct. 29 at 10 a.m. The event runs Friday, Nov. 27 through Tuesday, Dec. 29, with hours Thursday through Sunday from 5-11 p.m. Reservations begin at $27 per person.
Kingdom’s Greetings will also be open on Dec. 23, Dec. 28 and Dec. 29, and it will be closed on Friday, Dec. 18.

Mahomes Addresses A Chiefs Distraction They Cant Let Grow
The Chiefs have spent enough time trying to keep their season pointed in the right direction, and Josh Simmons absence only adds another layer to the grind. The rookie tackle has been dealing with a back injury, and the situation has now spilled into the kind of awkward team-business moment that can linger if it is not handled cleanly. Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes both addressed it, framing the issue as part of the honest communication that comes with building a winning locker room.
Simmons has been placed on injured reserve, with the team now managing his recovery as much as his development. For Kansas City, the larger concern is keeping a minor disruption from turning into something bigger, especially with a player expected to matter once he is healthy again. Mahomes and Reid both stressed the same point: the team is moving in the right direction, and hard conversations are sometimes part of getting there. [Read more 🡒]
Chiefs Offense Just Gave A Rival Star Plenty To Say
Micah Parsons had plenty to say about the Chiefs after watching their loss to Seattle, and the comments came with the kind of edge that always seems to follow Kansas City. The Cowboys star, who has not played this season because of an ACL injury, made it clear he is not intimidated by the Chiefs and took aim at the state of their offense while weighing in on what he believes they still need around Patrick Mahomes.
Parsons even singled out Xavier Worthy as part of that criticism, arguing Kansas City is missing the kind of receiver who can really stress defenses vertically. For a team that has spent years operating with a bulls-eye on its back, it was the latest reminder that opponents still view the Chiefs as a standard worth measuring against, even when the conversation starts with doubts about whether their passing game can threaten the way it used to.

Chiefs Have A Wild Special Teams Trend Fans Will Not Believe
Special teams has been one of the stranger through lines around Kansas City since that blocked field goal helped seal a 16-14 win over the Broncos in the regular season. The Chiefs were already on their way to becoming the first team to reach the Super Bowl three times in a row in 2024, and that kick fit the general theme of a team that kept finding one more play when it mattered most.
Since then, though, the other sideline has been having an oddly easy time lining up for field goals against Kansas City. The rarity of a miss has become a talking point all its own, with the most recent one coming later than anyone might have expected, and the run of made tries has turned what used to feel like a routine snap into one of the more surprising patterns attached to this Chiefs era.
