New York City is considered to be the #1 city to spend Christmas in; the music, the food, the decorations all scream Christmas. If you are lucky enough to spend Christmas in New York City this year, below is a list of 5 things you should do:
- Visit the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. It has been a tradition every Christmas since 1931; for New Yorkers and tourists alike. This year, the tree is 78 feet tall, 47 feet in diameter, weighs 10 tons, lit with 45,000 LED lights, and topped off with a Swarovski star consisting of 25,000 crystals and 1 million facets. 2015 marks the 12th year the star has been placed in Rockefeller Center. It is lit each day from 5:30AM to 11:30PM, 24 hours on Christmas, then from 5:30PM to 9PM on New Years
- Visit Macy’s Santaland, open the Friday after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve. During the holiday season, Santaland is open from 9AM to 9PM. If you have a younger sibling, take them here to get a picture with Santa Claus and be surrounded by snowmen, reindeers and Christmas cheer!
- Go ice-skating at Wollman Rink in Central Park. This site gives you a panoramic view of the skyline and has been featured in the movies Love Story and Serendipity. You should definitely visit this site during the Christmas-time.
