Of all the impressive Christmas decorations you’re bound to see during your trip, nothing compares to the spectacular Saks 5th Avenue Light Show that takes place during Christmas at the Rockefeller Center.
The elaborate display and synchronized lights play in tandem with classic Christmas music, dazzling children and adults alike. Stick around and enjoy a few rounds. Admiring the light show is one of my favorite free things to do at the Rockefeller Center during the holidays.
Details. The light show starts at 5pm and runs in 10-minute intervals until 11pm. Each show lasts 3 minutes and features a mashup of 2-4 popular Christmas songs, which is followed by a five minute break.
