Year after year, New York City lives up to its holiday tradition of putting up the most stunning and opulent holiday window displays at some of the finest department stores. Christmas spirit sets in as early as mid-November with the unveiling of Christmas window displays along the city’s Fifth Avenue and other Manhattan streets. Window shopping gets a whole new definition as holiday window dressing keeps getting bigger and better every year to woo shoppers and passersby. While those in the city can step out to see the thrilling artistry in person, for those who are far away, we bring the galore of the NYC holiday magic right here for you. 

Macy’s –

The founder of the concept of holiday department store window displays lives it up with ‘Believe’, an installation inspired by nostalgia. The stunning display includes six themes that play out traditional stories featuring elves, Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus and more.  The department store’s window theme for 2016 pays homage to Macy’s ‘Believe’ campaign which helps raise funds for the Make a Wish Foundation.
