People look at Macy’s holiday window display in New York
(New York, NY) — It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in New York City, as department stores across Manhattan unveil their holiday windows.
On 34th Street, Macy’s Herald Square windows have the theme called “The Most Wonderful Story Starts Here.” They feature a series of “firsts,” celebrating Macy’s holiday traditions including Santa Claus’s arrival in 1861, the first window displays in 1874, and the first Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1924.


While across town, Bloomingdales also has unveiled their festive windows for the holiday season. Their windows follow the theme of being “Happy Together,” and promise immersive experiences throughout the store. The store says “Happy Together” captures the warmth and magic of spending the holidays with those who matter most. Inside the store, shoppers will be able to visit Santaland: Happy Together- a whimsical family adventure featuring Burberry bears and interactive holiday moments.
