Christmas in New York City

The holiday season is always full of festive things to do, wherever you live, but in New York City there is a whole different level of excitement. From holiday lighting and sightseeing, to world-class entertainment and shopping, New York is the place to be this Christmas. The city practically beams with excitement, but busy streets will be the least of your worries once you've acquired your exotic car rental. Traffic jams won't affect you as you begin your journey through the Winter Wonderland that is New York City at Christmas time. First stop, the Ice Rink at Rockefeller Center.

Open from October to April, this classic staple of Christmas in New York City is the perfect way to spend time with family, or as a romantic alternative for you and your sweetheart. The outdoor rink is located next to the world famous Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. This mountainous tree is covered in 30,000 lights and over 5 miles of cable! Once you've had enough of the cold, it's time to park your exotic car rental at the Radio City Music Hall for the Christmas Spectacular.

A 'must see' if you plan to visit New York this Christmas season. The world famous Radio City Rockettes are back again to entertain audiences with their amazing kicks and glittering outfits. Traditional acts, "The Parade of the Wooden Solider" and "The Living Nativity" are sure to be favourites with your whole family, but this year there's something special just for the kids. Opening this years Christmas Spectacular is a 3D film that follows Santa on a magical sleigh ride through New York City. On the drive, make sure to look out your exotic rental car's window; you'll be sure to catch a glimpse of all the Holiday Window Decorations in New York City's Department Stores.

From Macy's to Lord and Taylor, Bloomingdale's to Sak's Fifth Avenue, New York is THE place to be for holiday window-shopping. Every year these big department stores spare no expense, designing eye catching, jaw dropping displays. Of course, window-shopping from your exotic car rental is just the beginning. A shopping experience like no other awaits you on Broadway and Fifth Avenue.

After all this shopping you'll probably want a little relaxation time. Why not take a soothing drive through New York's downtown in your exotic rental car? Make sure to drive past City Hall, The Lincoln Center, The South Street Seaport and the Metropolitan Museum of Art; here you will see many of New York City's beautifully decorated Christmas Trees. Lastly, make sure to take in The Nutcracker at the New York City Ballet. This year marks the 50th anniversary of George Balanchine's, The Nutcracker.
