New York is full of fun things to do throughout the year however, in December particularly – you can experience a whole host of seasonal things but be sure to pack your hat, scarf, gloves and coat as December in New York is very cold, often with snow.
No holiday to New York in December would be complete without a trip to the The Rink at the Rockefeller Centre – the most iconic ice-skating rink in the city and sits snugly over the famous Rockefeller Christmas Tree. With only 150 people allowed on the ice at any one time you will have plenty of space to get those Bambi legs under control.
Its not too late to get some Christmas shopping in where NYC Fifth Avenue is a must and home to many of New York’s popular department stores, including Saks, famous for it’s legendary Christmas light show and take a trip to Macy’s where you can meet the ‘jolly old fella’ himself.
You can walk across the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge and cold winter days are a great time to experience the Brooklyn Bridge without hoards of people. This well-loved historic structure is perfect for a photo to add to your selfie portfolio!

Give yourself a Christmas present with a holiday to Lapland in December. Known as the homeland of Father Christmas, Lapland pulls out all the stops over the festive period – from sleigh rides to magical meetings with Santa.
Santa and his elves are just half the story. Saunas are an integral part of the way of life in Finland and when the heat gets too much it’s customary to jump into a lake or roll around in the snow if you’re brave enough and you should go on a husky safari, where you can ride through the beautiful scenery as the dogs pull you along with great enthusiasm – a once in a lifetime experience.
