Uber's holiday offerings include robot reindeer deliveries, festive party buses: 'Go anywhere, get anything'

Uber announced its exclusive holiday offerings available for booking through December, including robot reindeer, karaoke buses and Grinch-themed kits.

The holidays have arrived, and Uber is driving spirits with festive new offerings.

The rideshare company on Tuesday announced its exclusive holiday offerings, which are available for booking through December via the Uber and Uber Eats apps.

This includes Uber’s "Festive Fleet" of holiday-themed party buses, decked out with holiday lights, photo props and karaoke machines.

The Uber Charter can be booked in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago and Washington, D.C., between Dec. 5 to Dec. 11 for rides that will take place from Dec. 11 to Dec. 17.

"It’s always better to go together — especially during the holidays," Uber Charter operations lead Sean Pritchard commented in an email to FOX Business.
