weather and enjoy ice skating at Wollman Rink in Central Park (on the east side between 62nd and 63rd Streets).
Empire State Building
At the center of the iconic NYC skyline sits the Empire State Building. During themonths of November and December, the top of the building is lit up with red and green lights to celebrate christmas. The first lighting each year coincides with the opening night for the Radio City Christmas
Spectacular.

Spectacular , don’t miss out on seeing the Rockettes’ show-stopping leg kick
precision chorus line 5 days a week during the holidays at Radio City Music Hall.
Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree
Started in 1933, the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree has become a timeless tradition for New Yorkers and tourists alike. The tree is on average between 69 and 100 feet tall, and its lighting ceremony is accompanied with a live broadcast in early December.
5th Avenue Holiday Window Displays
Shopping in NYC during the holidays can be a nightmare due to the tourist-packed streets. But there is definitely a redeeming quality to making the trek into the crowds: holiday window displays! Every year in mid-November, the biggest department stores in New York City create one-of-a-kind presentations of holiday-cheer in their exterior windows, usually with an original theme or throw-back to years past. (Shown here: one of Macy's Herald Square 2014 holiday window displays).
Gigantic Holiday Cheer
Giant ornaments are displayed annually during the holidays at different locations in NYC, including Rockefeller Center (across the street from Radio City Music Hall) on 6th Avenue.
