Queens County Farm Museum's Holiday Open House
Take a break from the bustling city and spend the afternoon on 47 acres of quiet farmland in Queens (no, really). This historic estate still operates as a farm today and it welcomes visitors for several festive events around the holiday, one of them being the annual Open House. On the days following Christmas, folks can come warm up by the fire at the Adriance Farmhouse in Floral Park while they partake in crafts and sip on mulled cider, all for free.

It's one of the biggest and most well-known events in the world, so despite the weather and being wedged between millions of people, it's worth it.
