It's Holiday Window Season in New York City
Cue Mariah Carey, "It's timeeeeeeee."
The sounds of ringing jingle bells and scents of roasting chestnuts are around the corner here in New York City. As the fall foliage and turkey-themed decor get put back into storage, in come the sparkling garlands, glittering ornaments and, of course, fabulously merry fashions. The department stores and boutiques in Manhattan are already on it, putting their highly anticipated holiday window decorations up just in time for the surge of tourists and local New Yorkers looking to bask in the winter magic of the city (and shop, of course).
Many retailers hosted extravagant events to reveal their festive visuals. The iconic Bergdorf Goodman called upon designer Michael Kors (alongside Linda Fargo and Santa) to present "Toast of the Town," the store's 2024 holiday theme. In each window, a glamorously dressed mannequin stands in a monochromatic scene inspired by different landmarks on Fifth Avenue, such as Central Park and the New York Public Library.

Nordstrom took a different approach, creating an immersive experience throughout the store. From the windows featuring The Blizz ("a charming inflatable presiding over the 57th Street entrance, with a unique power to turn everyday objects and beings into gigantic, lively characters," according to a press release) to the interior shopping floor where one can find animated, oversized candy canes and other characters, it's a classic winter wonderland experience.
