What's better than Christmas? Christmas in New York! NYC is definitely one of my favorite spots to spend the holidays in. The snow makes the city look so magical, and there are tons of Christmas-themed things to do and see. So get ready for a holiday adventure through New York City that's bursting with festive vibes, twinkling lights, and magical moments! 

Your experience kicks off at one of the city's most iconic holiday spots—the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. Picture this: a towering evergreen decked out with thousands of sparkling lights, set against the backdrop of the famous ice rink. It's the kind of holiday magic you can't help but get swept up in. Snap a few photos of the tree in all its glittering glory, and if you're feeling daring, watch (or join!) the skaters as they glide across the ice beneath it. Classic New York winter moment, right?

Next, head up Fifth Avenue, where the city's famous department stores go all out with their jaw-dropping holiday window displays. In just a short 10-minute stroll, you'll find yourself surrounded by dazzling storefronts that have been transformed into elaborate holiday scenes. Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy's, and more bring the holiday spirit to life with fantastical displays full of shimmering lights, glittering snowflakes, and over-the-top decorations that'll make you feel like you've stepped into a holiday fairytale. Your host will make sure you catch every whimsical detail!

Just when you think it can't get any more festive, you'll arrive at Bryant Park Winter Village, NYC's ultimate holiday market. Think cozy wooden stalls filled with unique gifts, warm drinks, and the smell of freshly baked treats in the air. Wander through the market, picking out one-of-a-kind presents, or just sip on a hot chocolate as you take in the holiday cheer around you. There's even another ice rink here, so whether you're skating or just watching, it's all about soaking up that winter wonderland energy.

But wait, there's more! Hop on the subway for a short ride to Brooklyn's Dyker Heights, where the Christmas lights are nothing short of extra. Imagine entire blocks of houses decked out in every light, decoration, and inflatable holiday figure you can think of—this neighborhood doesn't do subtle when it comes to Christmas. We're talking glowing Santas, reindeer, and enough lights to turn night into day. Strolling through these streets, you'll feel like you're in a real-life holiday movie. And trust me, your host knows the best spots to hit for the most over-the-top displays.

On your way back, why not admire the iconic Empire State Building, illuminated with dazzling holiday lights? It's just a short walk from Macy's and offers a breathtaking view of the city, especially during the festive season. It's the perfect way to cap off your festive adventure in the Big Apple.

Throughout the evening, your local host will be there to guide you through all the holiday magic, making sure you uncover all the hidden gems and festive treats along the way. This experience is all about making your NYC holiday one for the memory books! Remember to take lots of photos!
