Whether you're in the spirit already or need some help getting there, here are some events and destinations perfect for locals and visitors alike.
Visitors to the Paley Museum, located just two blocks from the Rockefeller Center crowds at 25 West 52 Street, can enjoy the magic of the season by meeting favorite characters like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Hermey the Elf and Bumble the Abominable Snow Monster, snapping photos with Santa and participating in arts and crafts events.
Starting next Wednesday and coasting through the end of the year, Circle Line transforms its Harbor Lights Cruise into a winter wonderland on the water. The boats will be decked out in twinkling lights, garlands, holiday ornaments and Christmas trees, while customers enjoy panoramic views of New York City from the comfort of heated indoor decks.
Wreaths wrought from the most unlikely materials are on display all this month in the New York City Parks Department’s 40th annual Wreath Interpretations show at the Arsenal Gallery, located at 64th Street and Fifth Avenue. This Big Apple tradition re-imagines the traditional Christmas wreath using materials like caution tape, safety pins, traffic light reflectors and even bath sponges. Each has its own theme, such as endangered species and chemistry.
Visitors to Christmas in Historic Richmond Town will find themselves immersed in a winter wonderland as they step back in time. The village centers around a 40-foot Christmas tree due to be lit during an opening-night ceremony on December 10. Activities include old-fashioned horse-drawn carriage rides, holiday caroling, cookie decorating and photos with Santa.
