Your Guide to Christmas in New York

Planning Christmas in New York is much easier when you know what matters most. Our NYC Christmas Blog brings together practical guides to the city’s Christmas trees, lights, markets, events, restaurants, hotels and seasonal experiences.

Our guides are written by Dora and Marco, who have lived in New York City since 2016 and serve thousands of clients every Christmas season. We also experienced Christmas in New York as first-time visitors ourselves, so we understand the questions that matter on a first trip, as well as the details that make returning to the city worthwhile.

Start with our featured guides, explore articles by topic or browse the full blog for first-hand advice on dates, crowds, transportation and planning your Christmas trip to New York.
