Lord and Taylor 2017 Holiday Windows

I had the pleasure of checking out the Lord and Taylor holiday windows. This is their 80th year for their holiday windows. I thought these were cute, but I felt last year's were much more interesting. The 2016 Lord and Taylor Holiday Windows can be seen on this blog! 

The Fifth Avenue windows have been transformed into a whimsical journey, as seen through the lens of enchanted snow globes, featuring over 60 variations throughout the display. Each of the five animated windows boasts a unique scene, including:

Arctic Adventures: Two polar bears meet for a celebratory high-five in an arctic scene

Christmas in the City: Starry holiday scene set against NYC skyscrapers

Holiday Circus: A vintage-style circus is conducted by the master of ceremonies

Santa's Magic: A modern-day Santa looks into his globe

Winter Woodlands: A rabbit ventures toward a magical tree with woodland creatures

  

This one was probably my favorite of all the windows! Very sweet!

2016 Holiday Windows Reveal Dates

 The department store windows in New York City are always very cool, but during the holiday season, they became magic. It amazes me what these talented people can do in a window, and we are all so lucky to be able to enjoy them for a few months the end of the year. Here are some of the dates I was able to find for reveal of this piece of holiday magic.

Lord and Taylor unveiled its 79th annual world-renowned holiday windows to New York City on Thursday, November 10 with a grand event in partnership with Save the Children. This year, Lord & Taylor's Enchanted Forest holiday windows take customers on a whimsical winter journey. The five windows flanking Fifth Avenue have been transformed, portraying scenes of a winter wonderland filled with 34 hand-sculpted spirited holiday animals. Over 350 square feet of LED walls enhance each vignette.  The flagship's façade features more than 9,000 feet of mixed garland, foliage, twinkling lights and cheerful holiday music, completing the magical display.

Bergdorf Goodman: These are the windows EVERYONE wants and needs to see. Pure art form and worth the wait in line every year. My photo from above is the 2011 holiday windows, just magical. Their big reveal is Nov. 15 at 754 Fifth Ave. I cannot wait for this one!!

Barneys New York: Get ready! Fabulous holiday windows from Barneys come to life on Friday, Nov. 18 at the Madison Avenue location (660 Madison Ave.) and the Downtown flagship store (101 7th Ave.).  The above photo is from my all time Barneys favorite window display, celebrating 35 years of Saturday Night Live. Pure genius!

Tiffany's on 5th Avenue is always a real treat to the eye, I have not found their date of reveal yet, but they are usually early in November, and before Thanksgiving.

Macy's: On Friday, Nov. 18, Macy's Herald Square reveals its famous seasonal display -- 5:30 p.m. sharp. The photo above was from 2015 window display of Snoopy and the gang, so adorable!

Bloomingdales: On Nov. 21, stroll on by 59th Street and Lexington Avenue for flawless windows at Bloomies. The reveal begins at 5:30 p.m.

Saks Fifth Avenue:  On Nov. 21 at 7 p.m., Saks draws the curtain and shows off its ever-stunning holiday windows. This year's display, "Land of 1000 Delights," is described as "an enchanting landscape of colorful candy and festive fashion." will operate daily from 5 p.m. until 11 p.m. every 10 minutes. Get there before the display's last day on Jan. 6! The New York window unveiling of Land of 1000 Delights will be live-streamed via Saks.com for audiences around the world to enjoy. The online event, presented by Mastercard, will take place on Monday, Nov. 21 at 6:45 p.m. ET.

Macy's Peanuts Gang Holiday Windows 2015

I will admit, Macy's holiday windows are something I have not seen in quite a few years. I was in the city on a Wednesday, great time during the holidays to go, and had to see their windows this year! I grew up with the Peanuts gang, they are just such a fun group! My Mom worked in a children's boutique shop and they sold so much of these characters. I have Snoopy, his sister Belle (not many know he had a sister!) and brother, Spike! I really enjoyed viewing these, it took me back to my childhood, which was a very happy time. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did !! 

They had a piano at the front of the window for Schroeder and this guy was having a blast trying to play it! He said afterwards it wasn't like a real piano! These windows have made everyone feel young at heart!  

These guys were right next to me looking at the windows! I nearly fell over when I saw them! Costumes are crazy good, my Mom was a HUGE Star Wars fan. Then below, they started dancing with the Salvation Army ladies to some snazzy music. It was loads of fun. Only in NYC!

Best New York City Holiday Windows

One of the BEST parts of the holiday season are the amazing holiday windows in New York City. The city really comes alive during this time of year, and there are so many wonderful things to see and do. I am not a fan of the crowds, but I find if you go off 5th Avenue, it is somewhat less of a frenzy! These are, in my opinion, the best holiday windows you must visit. They are truly works of art, and can take up to a year to make into reality. Bergdorf Goodman, who has one of the most gorgeous displays each year, starts working on the next year's design right after the current holiday season. It is remarkable what these talented folks can do, and we are oh so lucky to be able to enjoy them each year! In no particular order: 

1. Bergdorf Goodman - 754 Fifth Avenue at 58th Streets
2. Bloomingdales - 1000 3rd Avenue at 59th Streets
3. Lord and Taylor - 424 Fifth Avenue at 39th Street
4. Barney's - 50 Rockefeller Plaza between 50th and 51st Street
5. Saks Fifth Avenue - 611 Fifth Avenue between 49th and 50th Streets
6. Henri Bendel - 712 5th Avenue at 56th Street
7. Tiffany - 727 Fifth Avenue between 56th and 57th Streets
8. Macy's - 151 West 34th and 7th Avenue
9. Anthropologie - Rockefeller Center Location
10. Cartier -  653 Fifth Avenue at 52nd Street
