The Ultimate Guide to Spend Christmas in New York

New York City is possibly the best and brightest place to spend Christmas. The city offers a dazzling display of seasonal joy, starting from towering Christmas trees to plentiful window displays at department stores to numerous charming holiday markets. Here’s how to spend the most perfect Christmas in New York City and make the most of the holiday cheer.

The New York Botanical Garden

This place transforms into a winter wonderland each holiday season, with glittering tree displays and the famed ‘train show.’ This year, it’ll showcase 190 replicas of city landmarks throughout its miniature version of New York.

Radio City Rockettes

Highly energetic and delightfully fun, the high-kicking Rockettes show is almost a century-old New York City Christmas tradition. The performers along with the catchy holiday tunes put up spectacular shows each year, which sell out very fast!

The Nutcracker at Lincoln Center

Head to Lincoln Center for even more song and dance and watch The Nutcracker. This annual performance of the classic show, by the New York City Ballet, will surely make you dream about dancing sugar plum fairies in your sleep!

Winter Village at Bryant Park

This is the best spot to experience all of the New York City Christmas in one place. Satiate your holiday shopping spree or indulge in flowing hot cocoa. And of course, lace up your skates and show off your skills at the 17,000-square-foot ice skating rink.
