One of the biggest shows is the 'Christmas Spectacular' by Radio City. Full of dancing, singing and magic; young and old alike will love this experience. Drop into one of the many New York City churches to hear the choirs' beautiful voices bringing many carols and hymns to life. For an annual cultural treat, get tickets to the ballet and watch the timeless Christmas story of the 'Nutcracker'. For a less traditional annual site head down to New York's Botanical Gardens where every year the 'Holiday Train Show' stops by. Christmas in New York wouldn't be the same without the department stores pulling out all the stops to decorate their store windows; take a stroll down 5th Avenue to see how each store shows their holiday spirit.
