The Elves' Ultimate Events Guide Part 2: Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Jack Daniel's, Dubai Basketball & Swingers Crazy Golf

Fast cars. Faster drivers. And elves clinging to the pit wall like they're auditioning for their own racing documentary. 

The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is where the F1 season reaches its glorious, high-octane conclusion at Yas Marina Circuit. Championship battles, celebrity sightings, post-race concerts, and enough engine roar to make your chest vibrate. This is motorsport's grand finale, and the elves have been preparing for it (if by "preparing" you mean practicing victory podium poses and arguing about who gets to wear the fake racing suit). 

Grandma Casky commanded a full raid on Jack Daniel's cellars because the F1 finale demands nothing less. The rest of the crew swapped their pointy hats for imaginary helmets and are ready to shout race commentary despite knowing absolutely nothing about tyre strategy. 

Cosmo's already yelling "Box, box!" to whoever dares cross his path. I had to break it down to him: tyre strategy does NOT mean opening a present. 

When the adrenaline's pumping and engines are screaming at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, you need something smooth to keep you grounded. Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey is perfection that pairs beautifully with every lap and every overtake.  

Whether you're sipping a classic Jack & Cola while watching from the Main Grandstand or savouring a Jack Daniel's Honey Lemonade as the sun sets over Yas Marina, this is the drink that says, "I understand engines." (You don't. But you look like you do with a glass of Jack Daniel's in hand.) 

Jack Daniel’s & Cola – The classic, never out of style

Jack Daniel's & Ginger Ale – Crisp & refreshing 

Tennessee Mule – Jack Daniel's, lime, ginger beer, and a copper mug for extra flair 

Gentleman Jack Neat – For when the race gets serious, and you want to savour every moment 

Sip responsibly, habibi. Grandma Casky is watching.  

The elves are convinced they're very good at basketball. 

They are not. 

But the Dubai Basketball scene? Electric. Catch the Dubai BC team in action and soak up the festival atmosphere at the Coca-Cola Arena. It's lights, beats, big moves, and an atmosphere that feels like someone plugged your evening directly into a power socket. 

Dubai Basketball has become one of the city's hottest sports experiences, and naturally, the elves want in on the action. Tomo San has been practicing his crossover. It involves spinning in circles and falling over. Winy Wonka keeps shouting "three-pointer!" every time someone throws anything. It's chaos. It's peak elf energy. 

Don’t miss out on experiencing it, habibi. Check out the schedule here and grab your tickets for an unforgettable night! 

A mini-golf course. Cocktails. Chaos. 

Naturally, this is where the Merry Mischief elves feel most at home. 

Swingers Crazy Golf Dubai at Caesars Palace Bluewaters is far more than mini-golf. It's crazy golf. A full-blown festival of flavour and questionable putting techniques. With 1920s-inspired décor, DJ beats filling the air, street food, and enough cocktail creativity to make your head spin (in the best way), it’s the place to be. 

This season's Cocktail Mayhem at Swingers Crazy Golf is the ultimate playground for adults who refuse to grow up (the elves sent a thank-you card). It's all fun, all night, for the remainder of 2025.  

Seven Cocktail Mayhem creations are available at Swingers Crazy Golf, and trust me, habibi, you're in for a fantastic sipping experience. Try the Snow Globe Gimlet, Desert Mischief Sour, Twisted Tinsel, Frostbite Fizz, Naughty Chocolate in the Desert, The Pudding Old Fashioned, and Mince Pie Martini there – they’ll put you right in holiday mode. But it isn't the only place in town where you can taste the festive mischief! 

The Champagne Coup, Desert Mischief Sour, and Naughty Chocolate in the Desert are up for sips at the dazzling BB Social in DIFC, and the elves are working on bringing them to The Address Dubai Mall, too! 

And if you're travelling home for the season, don't fuss – you can still have a taste at the airport. The elves insisted on that. 

The Desert Mischief Sour, Twisted Tinsel, and Frostbite Fizz are up for sips at Jack's & Grill, Draft House, and the Sports Shack, while you can indulge in The Desert Mischief Sour and Frostbite Fizz at the Noodle House and The Kitchen by Wolfgang Puck. 

Just what you need to board your flight feeling extra mischievous… and extra merry.
