My favorite place

[@samuelpajoa215]

I love Christmas. Someday, I hope to visit NYC during Christmas .🎄🎅 thanks for posting this video. ☺️

[@billparry7058]

My family and I visited New York during the festive period in 2013. Your video has inspired us to go again either this year or next. Thank you.

[@user-xc4eh4kp9n]

Very nice - since you were there, perhaps you can advise.....what's open on Christmas day? shops- restaurant, time square? At least limited hours

[@SJF15]

Get your guide is a rip off, most of the time it's cheaper just to book directly with the venue or attraction.

[@Vanloves2travel]

Another excellent video, Christina. We were in Manhattan, with friends, last week and you captured all of the best holiday spots to visit.

[@HappytoWander]

Thanks so much!! 🫶 hope you had a great time on your trip. We were probably there around the same time!

I'm planning on visiting NYC this holiday season. It is much cheaper to stay in lower Manhattan than midtown, but lower Manhattan doesn't see, as festive as midtown. Can someone give me help/tips on where to stay????

[@anamacias4497]

Thanks for sharing ❤I’m looking forward to do this with my family ❤

[@yaowsers77]

You've hit my birth place! I was born in Manhattan and lived there for the first couple years of my life, have family there still, grew up going there monthly and now love in NJ which means I'm able to go in whenever. Which i have a few times already this holiday season and you've been spot on with the popular places! Lol i didn't even know times square had it's own shops this year! I'll have to check it out in the next couple of trips in. I finally made it to Hudson yards and it's spectacular! If you're looking for a photo with a tree, i prefer Bryant Park over Rockefeller. The latter is just so packed once it starts getting dark because the light show on Saks starts and the tree looks better lit. However, Bryant Park's tree looks just as good in the daylight as it does at night. I spent a couple of days volunteering to take pics for tourists and the ones at Bryant Park, i feel, look better. I mean, the one at Rockefeller you know right away where it is but once you see it, you kinda want to just get away from there because it's so packed. But fun fact about the topiaries in cement planters by doir, they have a scent infuser so it smells great! Lol, yes i was sniffing them 😂

[@HappytoWander]

Hahah now I’m so sad I didn’t go for a sniff!! Thanks so much for the lovely comment. I’m so jealous you live close enough to go whenever you want. I crammed a lot into my short trip but I already can’t wait to go back! Happy holidays 🫶

[@yaowsers77]

@@HappytoWander happy holidays to you too! It's because of KZbinrs like you, Les frenchies, and wolters world that I started giving tips for the group NYC travelers tips on Facebook because at the end of the day, you want to help people have a fabulous time while alleviating some of their worries and anxiety. I may not be well traveled (yet!), but I'm familiar enough with NYC to help others so thanks for being an inspiration!

[@MrRemyguy]

I went there yesterday from Connecticut.. got so exhausted that now I'm sick today :(

[@nribackpacker]

short and sweet video this is exactly what i was looking for before coming to NYC tmrw

[@Lisa-kz7vw]

I spent Christmas in New York in 1998 a longtime ago it was magical though very cold but a great trip so pretty all the lights decorations definitely looking forward to another trip😊❤

[@OneRedFeatherStudios.]

Another wonderful video Christina. Keep up the absolutely amazing job you do to bring us fabulous content like this.

[@drewkastelajara3812]

[@chanise21]
