Love Is on Display en las vitrinas navideñas de NYC de 2020

Saks Fifth Avenue

[Saks’](/shopping/saks-fifth-avenue/) seasonal showcase, always among the City’s brightest, delivers twinkling depictions of “only in New York” moments. This year’s display, called “This Is How We Celebrate,” comprises six colorfully intricate scenes, including presents being delivered via the Roosevelt Island tram and locals stringing Christmas lights in Dyker Heights.

In this window, a food truck serves international cuisine to block-party revelers while silhouettes allude to a festive gathering in the background (with masks and social distancing guidelines observed, of course). And there’s more than just windows: throughout the month, the retailer hosts lighting events led by different celebrities and public figures to raise money for charitable causes.

Bergdorf Goodman

[The Fifth Avenue fashion giant](/shopping/bergdorf-goodman) is known for putting on bold and eye-catching displays, the kind that in normal years cause crowds to cluster. The 2020 display, titled “Bergdorf Goodness,” reflects on moments of kindness and unity that have carried us through these unusual times—and its visuals are straightforward enough to be understood without pressing right up against the glass.

“Love” is just one of the blocky words constructed out of three-dimensional polychromatic acrylic mirrors. Other windows feature similar expressions such as “hope,” “equality” and “harmony.” Putting those sentiments into action, Bergdorf will donate a portion of sales to the Goodness Giving Fund, which benefits City Harvest and the National CARES Mentoring Movement. The organizations work to combat food insecurity and social and educational inequality disproportionately affecting young Black people.

Bloomingdale’s

This year, the windows of [Bloomingdale’s](/shopping/bloomingdales/) light up Lexington Avenue in a range of neon. The retailer’s “Give Happy” theme offers the kind of fantastical escape that New Yorkers (and others) are likely yearning for by now, with detailed displays of adorable animals and holiday imagery that primarily focus on one color per setting.

The orange window is for puppy lovers; it’s a canine wonderland filled with dog treats and assorted hounds, all coated in glitter. Other window scenes feature a mountain of plush teddy bears and a giant grinning disco ball.

Hudson Yards 

[Hudson Yards](/attractions/hudson-yards) does not hold back when it comes to spreading good cheer. Though a bit different than your typical window display, the buzzy shopping and dining center deserves a shoutout for its festive decor, part of its “Shine Bright” theme. More than 2 million string lights—that’s 115 miles!—blink throughout the shops, outdoor spaces and structures, including at Vessel and [Edge](/attractions/edge/).

In the Shops and Restaurants at Hudson Yards, illuminated hot-air balloons are suspended from the ceiling and make for a great holiday photo-op. Kids can also visit Santa Claus at a virtual-reality North Pole.

Macy’s 

New Yorkers’ resiliency—especially that of its essential workers and first responders—has shone brightly this year. [Macy’s Herald Square](/shopping/macys-herald-square/) has chosen to honor those front-liners in its annual holiday display, which took more than 100 people (electricians, artists and animators) two weeks to complete.

Macy’s (cont.)

The “Give, Love, Believe” theme spreads across six animated windows, culminating in a scene with the words “Thank You” shown in 16 languages. The department store, which revealed its first holiday window back in 1874, also dedicated this year’s windows to those who marched for racial equality and those who have braved and endured the pandemic.

Empire State Building

Though “hope” is not used here in quite the same sense that it is in other holiday windows (think more _[A New Hope](https://www.starwars.com/films/star-wars-episode-iv-a-new-hope)_), the [Empire State Building](/attractions/empire-state-building-observatory/) strikes back with a crowd-pleasing theme for its interior window display: three-dimensional scenes from Star Wars, constructed out of Legos.

Visitors to ESB and building tenants get to admire the sets on their way out of the observatory. The _Millennium Falcon_ (pictured), the _Razor Crest_ (a _Mandalorian_\-era ship) and fan favorite The Child (aka “Baby Yoda”) are among the models set in a snowy LED-lit galaxy. Note that anyone can look up outside the building to see its tower lights illuminated in celebration of the holidays.
