Overview

Celebrate the December Holidays in style as Midtown Manhattan transforms into a mesmerizing winter wonderland.

Our New York Holiday Lights Tour is perfect for holiday enthusiasts eager to witness the city's iconic festive displays.

We're proud supporters of New York City Toys for Tots (we've donated over $18K since we started in 2018!) and every ticket includes a donation.

Join us as we experience the holidays in the city that only New York can offer.

We will take advantage of the subway to beat the street traffic, keep warm, and catch some underground holiday music.

Learn about the artists and backgrounds of these wonderful displays, including the famous Rockefeller Christmas Tree.
