Step 1
Union Square Holiday Market
Christmas in NYC begins ✨
We’re starting at Union Square because it’s the perfect “first chapter”— warm lights, handmade gifts, and that classic holiday buzz that makes the city feel magical. No rushing—just wandering, laughing, and letting the day begin.

Step 2
Bryant Park Winter Village
More markets + the big holiday vibe
Bryant Park is the “storybook setting” of the day—twinkle lights, cozy kiosks, and that make us us.

Step 3 (Optional)
Ice Skating at Bryant Park
Cute and very on-brand
If we’re feeling it, skating is our core memory and where we might have even began :)

Step 4
Columbus Circle Holiday Market
Final market stop + Central Park edge
Columbus Circle feels like the “grand finale” of the markets—right by the park, with that cinematic New York energy. It’s our last wander before we switch from exploring to cozying up.

Step 5
Hot Chocolate Stop
NYC’s best
Hot chocolate is just cozy and cuddly. And we love chocolate so lets find the best NYC has to offer.

Step 6 (Choose)
Dinner & Drinks
Home cozy or night-out
This is our flexible chapter: if we want peak cuddles, we make dinner and drinks at home. If we want to go out and about, we'll find a spot that might become our new favorite.

Step 7
Santa Cookie Making (With Little Cupcake Bakeshop on Backup aka Primary)
A sweet ending (literally)
We’re ending with Santa cookies because it was a cute little memory that I want to recreate. Even though some of them fell apart, it's one of my favorite holiday memories.
