#4 Free Things to Do in NYC For Christmas: Visit a Winter Market or Holiday Market
Christmas Market

Midtown Manhattan
Our Highlight
NYC does not have a shortage of holiday markets. From the Union Square Holiday Market and Bank of America’s Bryant Park Winter Village to the Columbus Circle Holiday Market, there are many from which you can choose. The holiday markets usually partner with Urbanspace to ensure that aside from excellent shopping, there’s also a curated food experience in store for you too.
At Bryant Park’s Winter Village, you can ice skate for a fee or visit the second-story observation deck for free. Just keep in mind that while the Bryant Park observation deck is free, you will still have to wait in line where you pay to ice skate and get a wristband for entry. After all of this fun, be sure to stop by the carousel, where you may find a story time or a magic show happening.
My tip: These are the best holiday markets in NYC.
