Christmas events in NYC
Here's what to expect this year.
Visiting Santa is at the top of every kid’s list come Christmastime. It’s important to get that Christmas wish list directly to the Big Man (and explain/apologize for any naughty behavior in person), and there’s no better place to visit him than at Macy’s Santaland. Beginning in November, the eighth floor of the Herald Square Macy’s is transformed into a holiday wonderland with twinkling lights, festive games, a shiny red sleigh, Santa’s workshop and more enchanting exhibits bringing holiday cheer for the whole family. For those who can’t make it in person, Macy’s is once again offering the virtual Santaland at Home experience. What more can you ask for? As the holidays approach, find the perfect Christmas tree, make a list of holiday light displays to visit, and make your reservation to visit Macy’s Santaland for the best Christmas ever.
