A magical white Christmas in New York
New York, United States
The Big Apple does Christmas better than anywhere else. Start the silly season off by heading along to Rockefeller Centre to see the towering Christmas tree with the Swarovski Star and over 30,000 glittering lights.
Marvel at the ice skaters zipping around Bryant Park, and see the amazing decorations and store window displays along Fifth Avenue.
Explore outdoor Christmas markets, making sure not to miss Macy’s Santaland, and check out FAO Schwarz, New York’s most famous toy store.
Then do as the locals do and enjoy a cocktail on a rooftop bar, we recommend 230 Fifth (located at 230 5th Ave).
The views of the Empire State Building and out across Manhattan are incredible – and they have heaters and cosy rooftop igloos!

My first big trip was off to Camp America many years ago. As soon as I stepped foot on the first big international plane, the travel bug bit me and I never wanted to stop! Eventually I had to get a "real job" and what better job than as a travel agent.
Since then I've enjoyed sending many more people on their first big exciting trip overseas, on family holidays, honeymoons, reunions, road trips, girls trips and any other reason you can think of for travel!
