Day 1: Welcome to New York

Arrive in New York and make your way to your hotel in the heart of Times Square, where the bright lights and festive atmosphere are already part of the experience. Once you’ve settled in, the evening is yours to explore. Take a stroll through Times Square, see the city lit up for Christmas and enjoy dinner at one of New York’s fantastic restaurants, with recommendations and reservations arranged to suit your preferences.

Day 2: Christmas in the City

Start your first full day with a private tour taking in some of Manhattan’s most famous sights, from Central Park and Fifth Avenue to Rockefeller Center and the iconic Christmas tree. Along the way, your guide can share some of the city’s best festive spots and hidden gems.

Spend the afternoon shopping along Fifth Avenue, exploring the boutiques of Midtown or browsing the festive stalls at Bryant Park’s Winter Village. In the evening, experience the magic of the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, starring the legendary Rockettes. 

Day 3: Markets, Shopping & Manhattan Lights

Today is all about experiencing New York at Christmas. Visit some of the city’s best-known holiday markets, including Bryant Park, before heading downtown to explore SoHo, Greenwich Village and the shops of Lower Manhattan.

As darkness falls, take in the holiday lights at Dyker Heights, or as you stroll through Manhattan. See the spectacular window displays along Fifth Avenue, beautifully decorated department stores and the festive streets around Rockefeller Center. You’ll have plenty of opportunities for photos as New York really comes alive after dark.

Day 4: A Classic New York Farewell

Make your final day in New York count with a visit to Central Park and the Upper East Side before enjoying some last-minute shopping. For a classic Christmas experience, head back to Rockefeller Center to see the tree and, if you wish, take to the ice at the famous Rockefeller Center rink.

Finish your trip with dinner overlooking the Manhattan skyline or a Broadway show of your choice. Or, get a bird's eye view of the city from your private helicopter tour with champagne. Then it’s back to your Times Square hotel for your final night in the city, surrounded by the lights and energy of New York at Christmas.
