Spending Christmas in NYC is a top bucket-list experience. Here 8 great places for Christmas decor, Christmas vibes, Christmas festivities and Christmas photos.

Rolf’s Restaurant

You cannot visit NYC at Christmas without simply visit Rolf’s, Gramercy’s Christmas paradise. The German restaurant got its fame for its over-the-top decorations, rife with thousands of ornaments and twinkling lights, and the overflowing lines of people waiting to get in to take pictures with them. People around the world flock to Rolf’s leading up to the holiday season, yearning to experience Christmas in such a tangible, palpable, photographic manner.

Saks Fifth Avenue

Saks Fifth Avenue evokes images of style and elegance. One of the most famous luxury retailers in the world, Saks Fifth Avenue has long been the destination for fashion-conscious men and women. But when it comes to Christmas, the window show that’s displayed on the store became one of the major attractions on this special season. Hundreds of people wait for the themed show displayed on the windows every year and it’s definitely a must see when it comes to Christmas spots.

Dyker Heights Christmas Lights

Normally when you think in Christmas and New York you will immediately think in Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree and the lavish store window displays of Midtown Manhattan. But actually you will get the best Christmas sights in Dyker Heights, Brooklyn.

There is an unspoken competition among the homeowners in the neighborhood, so some have added huge lawn ornaments and motorized displays, making for a lavish holiday spectacle.

Four Seasons Downtown Hotel  

Located in Midtown Manhattan, its central location serves as the perfect starting point for sightseeing the city’s most festive attractions. Steps away from luxurious shopping on Madison and Fifth Avenues, Central Park and the Rockefeller Center, Four Seasons Hotel New York is the perfect place for holiday joy in the Big Apple.

Brookfield Place

Light up Luminaries signals the start of the holiday season with an evening full of fun and holiday cheer as Brookfield Place celebrates the spectacular light installation and holiday tradition. Enjoy ice skating on the waterfront, sweet treats, performances and more!

Luminaries is a mesmerizing light installation created by the LAB at Rockwell Group for Brookfield Place, inspired by the season’s traditions of sharing, giving, and community.

Oculus Market

Welcomed by a grand entry gate nestled at the center, Oculus transports visitors into a setting reminiscent of a magical, enchanted village replete with popular Snowmen, perfect for picture taking. Oculus mirrors a modern town square with jovial and engaging moments from carolers singing iconic holiday music, shopkeepers to assist with giftable products for friends and family, Santa’s post office offering handwritten letters to Santa and beautiful gift wrapping service provided by Papyrus. 

Ophelia Rooftop Bar

The Ophelia rooftop was designed to look like an illuminated jewelry box in the sky, and during the holiday season it turns into a stunning floating snow globe in the NYC skyline.

Garlands with thousands of crystals and sparkling snowflakes hang from the 17-foot ceiling in the main bar area, and also in the 360° greenhouse terrace where you have an amazing view of midtown Manhattan and Long Island City across the East River. Definitely a must-see this Christmas!
