Which department stores in NYC have holiday window displays?
I will briefly go over Christmas in New York stores Bergdorf Goodman, Macy’s, Bloomingdales, and Saks Fifth Avenue. Of course this is just a brief overview of some of the top store displays in New York City during Christmas time. As each store debuts their displays they will be discussed here and we will showcase their holiday theme!
Macy’s – “Tip Toe” Theme
Debuting their holiday windows November 18th, 2021. Macy’s has come back yet again with an inspirational display that encompasses pretty much all the five senses. The displays start off with the store showcasing a reindeer who is unable to fly; his name is Tiptoe. Through the various windows you get to engage with TipToe’s story of overcoming the inability to fly and believing in himself. As we all know, BELIEVE has been Macy’s motto for many years with their window displays and Thanksgiving Day Parade. In conclusion the Christmas window display is full of animatronics, interactive video games, and product displays which leads you to go inside the department store to engage in the last senses of smell and touch of the merchandise showcased.
