New York City during Christmas time is the most magical place to be. With the Rockefeller Christmas Tree, light festivals, and the best holiday markets, Christmas is the ideal time to go to NYC. But, during COVID-19 with many events canceled throughout the world, it’s important to know which events are still being held. These events are still on and they’ll put you in the Christmas spirit.
The Bank of America Winter Village at Bryant Park
The pandemic can’t stop us from going ice-skating at the legendary Bryant Park, which in addition to the rink, has 60 shopping and food kiosks. Enjoy a skate at the 17,0000-square-foot ice-skating rink and then a bite to eat and festive cocktails at the rinkside pop-up restaurant.
The Rockefeller Christmas Tree
This symbol of the holiday season is a must-see and it’s the pride and joy of NYC. The tree lighting is one of the best events in the city and it’s done every night through January 7.
The Empire State Building’s Holiday Musical Light Show
From December 19 to December 25, every night, the Empire State Building is celebrating the holidays with a technicolor light and sound display. The show will be synced to Carrie Underwood’s new song “Hallelujah” with John Legend.
