Hudson Yards.

Worth it, says Antonina. This is thanks to the fact that Hudson Yards uses over two million Christmas lights when decorating for the occasion.

Where Hudson Yards appears on New York Dearest

It's on 3 of my lists. Each entry below is what I wrote about it there, with my verdict on that list, the fullest first.

Hudson Yards is a massive mall adjacent to the monolithic art display known as the Vessel. The mall features tons of high-end shops and restaurants. Granted it’s fun to explore any time of year, but during the holiday season it is especially worth a visit.

This is thanks to the fact that Hudson Yards uses over two million Christmas lights when decorating for the occasion.

The holiday celebration at Hudson Yards Mall is called Shine On. It’s a unique light and music installation that spans the holiday season.

Since this is one of the best NYC Christmas photo spots, the photo-taking opportunities are nothing short of epic. The New York Christmas lights are breathtaking and the perfect backdrop for selfies.

Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
Worth it

If you only do one thing on this list, make it this one.

Hudson Yards is a luxury mall brimming with high-end shops and great restaurants. During the holidays, the mall is decked to the nines with more than two million lights. Embellished trees and festive hot air balloons hang from the ceiling, it’s a whimsical experience for all.

Keen to dazzle children and adults alike, when it comes to the best Christmas decorations in New York City, Hudson Yards doesn’t play second fiddle.

Hudson Yards is a massive mall full of shops and restaurants. Although the mall doesn’t necessarily have traditional window displays like the department stores along Fifth Avenue, the holiday decorations are still worth a detour. Decked out with over two million Christmas lights, the mall rivals the best holiday window displays in NYC.

I never get tired of this view.
