NEW YORK — Christmas in New York City is one of the most anticipated times for New Yorkers and tourists from around the world because of the magic it offers, from the famous Rockettes to the immense Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. And if anyone is lucky, they might even see snow in iconic places like Central Park.
There is no doubt that other exemplary moments of the season are the traditional Christmas markets due to the magic they hide in their decoration and the hundreds of options to buy local products and thus support the artisans of our region.
In addition, people can find unique and curious gifts perfect for the season.
