It’s is the most wonderful time of the year and NYC is certainly one of the most wonderful cities to experience it. There is a reason so many holiday movies are filmed in this incredible city. There is a really good feeling in the Big Apple at Christmas and every year we get so excited to experience all of the truly amazing things this city has to offer. I know it can be a little overwhelming for us parents trying to find events and activities that are kid-friendly so I hope you enjoy this list I put together of 19 things to do with kids in NYC for Christmas 2019.
