With Christmas only a week away, NYC has many activities to indulge in and get into the holiday spirit! We've rounded up our top 5 favorite things to do during this time of year!
Visit the Rockefeller Plaza Christmas Tree
The famous Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Plaza has been in light since December 1st, but that doesn't mean you can't experience this magical tree. The tree is decorated with 45,000 LED bulbs and countless Swarovski crystals. This place will definitely get you into the holiday spirit, and you can ice skate here as well.
Shop at the Winter and Holiday Markets
There are plenty of Winter and Holiday Markets in New York in December. My favorite spots are Union Square and the Bryant Park Winter Village Christmas Market, with a ton to choose from!
Enjoy the Holiday Window Decorations in NYC
Between Rockefeller Center and Central Park, you will find the long-established luxury department store, Saks Fifth Avenue. During the Holiday season, they are known for their elaborate holiday sceneries within their window displays, among many other stores such as Cartier along 5th Avenue that light up during the season!
Radio City Christmas Spectacular
Over 140 sensational dancers perform in the famous Christmas Spectacular. Sparkling costumes, unique set design, and many Christmas songs thrill the audience every year. The show's stars are the female dance group "The Rockettes" who perform next to Santa Claus and his elves. The show plays into early January at Radio Music Hall with up to three performances per day!
Ice Skating in NYC
Dash through the ice at one of the top three rinks located in NYC. Bank of America's Winter Village at Bryant Park, the famed Rink at Rockefeller Center, and the Woolman in Central Park are just three of New York City's finest ice rinks.
