Visiting Macy’s in NYC on December 30 was like stepping into a dazzling, festive whirlwind. The holiday spirit was still alive, with every corner of the store decked out in twinkling lights and glamorous displays. Braving the holiday crowds was an adventure in itself—throngs of last-minute shoppers and tourists like me created an electric buzz that felt quintessentially New York.
The energy was contagious, even if it required some strategic navigation to weave through the packed aisles. The iconic wooden escalators carried me between floors filled with an impressive selection that didn’t disappoint. From exclusive holiday collections to unbeatable year-end deals, Macy’s was bursting with options.
Sure, the crowds tested my patience, but they also added to the magic. Everyone was there for the same reason: to soak in the last glimmers of the season in one of the most iconic shopping destinations in the world. Despite the chaos, the staff remained impressively helpful and organized—a testament to their experience with the holiday rush.
Visiting Macy’s during the holiday season is more than shopping; it’s immersing yourself in a piece of New York’s festive history. If you can handle the crowds, it’s absolutely worth it.

What a beautiful store set up in downtown Manhattan. You can buy pretty much anything in here , at fantastic prices. We were in New York for a few days, and my wife took me here 3 times before she finally bought what she wanted. Great prices on clothing , shoes, colognes, watches, etc. The top floor has the old wooden escalator, which was unique for us.

Macy’s in New York during the holiday season is nothing short of magical! The Christmas decorations are absolutely stunning, with twinkling lights, festive displays, and an enchanting atmosphere that truly captures the holiday spirit. It’s like stepping into a winter wonderland right in the middle of the city.
I stopped by to pick up a pair of gloves, and the entire experience was flawless. The staff were friendly and efficient, and the gloves were exactly what I was looking for—both stylish and warm. I also used the gift-wrapping service, and it was a delight! They wrapped the gloves beautifully, and the service was quick and professional.
Macy’s has always been a holiday favorite for me, and this visit just reinforced why it’s such an iconic destination. Highly recommended for both shopping and soaking in the festive vibes!

Macy’s is my go to store.
They have everything & some really good deals on designer stuff. Sometimes even cheaper than buying direct from the designer stores.
I’ve had some lovely conversations with the staff in this store. When you leave you feel like you’ve made friends. They’re so chilled. It’s great.
Also, the way the store is decorated for Christmas is beautiful. Even if you don’t have money to shop, come and have a look at the lights & decorations. You won’t be disappointed.
Ps. Pop upstairs to the Holiday Square, it’s so cute.
