The Window Displays
The only time I ever went to NYC for the holidays, I was blown away by the window displays in all the shops.
You can spend as much time as you want walking the streets and taking these masterpieces in.Holy cow! Here's one from a chocolate shop.

The Tree
I don't think I have to explain this one, "Home Alone 2" did it for me. I might add, that seeing it at night is better so plan accordingly.

The Carriage Rides
One of the coolest, but surprisingly affordable things you can do in the City. It is a blast to see Central Park while relaxed.
You need to go with a friend or loved one on this ride. Go ahead!

Skating at Rockefeller Center
Some people like to skate at this famed rink and some like to people watch. To save my ass...literally...I just people watch. But (get it? butt?) do what you like. This trip is all about you!
