Whether you are shopping or just admiring, you will be whisked away to a world of fantasy and delight.
Admire the Bergdorf Goodman Holiday Windows
Among the most famous holiday windows on 5th Avenue are those of Bergdorf Goodman. Each year, the store picks a unique theme, which is then interpreted through the artistic vision of the amazing storytellers who dress up the windows for Christmas.
Gasp at the Magical Windows of Tiffany & Co
Also on 5th Avenue is Tiffany & Co. This store’s windows feature themes each year which tend to be unabashedly Christmassy. The style is very different from that you will see at Bergdorf Goodman, but every bit as dazzling.

Wonder at the Saks Fifth Avenue Holiday Light Show
Finally, Saks Fifth Avenue not only features window displays of otherworldly beauty, but now put son a splendid holiday light show as well, complete with music and fireworks.
Enjoy Cartier Fifth Avenue’s Red Bow and Ribbon
One of the most iconic holiday sights in New York is Cartier Fifth Avenue. This jewelry store is literally wrapped each year in a gigantic bright red bow and ribbon so that the store is like a giant gift box.
Let St. Patrick’s Cathedral Awe You
What would a Christmas tour of New York be without a stop by St. Patrick’s Cathedral? This majestic church is a sight to behold any day of the year, but when it is all decked out for the holidays with wreaths and poinsettias, it takes on a whole new level of splendor.
Gaze Up at the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree
What is the single most famous sight in NYC during Christmas? Probably the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. The tradition of lighting the tree dates clear back to 1933.

Whether you catch the lighting ceremony or not, the sight of the towering tree draped in tens of thousands of lights is beautiful beyond belief.
