From Thanksgiving until New Year's, New York City is a holiday lover's paradise. In addition to the famous displays that take over Rockefeller Center and Fifth Avenue, the Big Apple becomes a hub for holiday shows, from Brooklyn's Dyker Heights to Carnegie Hall. You can catch a festive musical, a thought-provoking play, a world-class ballet, or a train show—whatever you prefer. New York City brings holiday joy to visitors and residents alike with seasonal shows all over town.

Holiday Train Show
The Holiday Train Show at the New York Botanical Garden is an annual tradition. Featuring model trains and more than 150 replicas of New York City landmarks—including the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, and Rockefeller Center—the Holiday Train Show is equal parts nostalgic and festive. Being held indoors, it also makes for a nice break from the cold.
