New York City is the quintessential holiday destination for your favorite rom-coms *and* your 2024 holiday travel, kicking off with the iconic Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, followed by the Rockefeller Center tree lighting, and wrapping up with the Times Square ball drop on NYE. Beyond the holiday traditions, the city offers an eclectic and amazing food scene, from one of the best hot chocolates at LYSÉE to some of the best Italian at Via Carota to classic French standby Balthazar, plus world-class museums and a nightlife suited for every kind of reveler. Warm up after a day spent wandering the scenic paths of Central Park to the historic charm of Battery Park with a boozy cocktail at Overstory, a retro-chic bar with panoramic views.

Make a bucket-list trip to Tokyo this holiday season. Experience a traditional Japanese tea ceremony, explore the beautiful historic temples and shrines, such as Sensō-ji, the city's oldest and most iconic Buddhist temple; and walk the neighborhoods: through Shibuya Crossing for shops, cafés, and a lively nightlife; Harajuku for eclectic fashion and colorful street art, and the trendy Takeshita Street. Indulge in Tokyo’s unique food scene, from flavorful ramen at popular spots like Ichiran or Afuri, to savoring the best street food at the Tsukiji Outer Market. Don’t forget to experience a traditional izakaya, where you can sample Japanese pub fare like yakitori and sashimi at the end of your sightseeing day.

Soak in the holidays, British style. Explore a winter wonderland in Hyde Park, where you can find ice skating, Christmas markets, carnival rides, and more; stroll along Oxford Street for Christmas lights and visit Covent Garden's giant Christmas tree, mistletoe chandeliers, and twinkling lights (perfect for holiday photos!). Skate in the historic moat with views of the Tower of London and visit London’s holiday markets like the Southbank Centre Winter Market along the Thames for unique gifts. Catch a show on London’s West End theatre district and enjoy afternoon tea at London hotels like Claridge’s and The Ritz. Staying for Christmas?

Soak in the holiday sun in Miami. Brunch poolside at Strawberry Moon near South Beach or the Michelin-recommended La Mar by Gastón Acurio for the best views of Brickell and Biscayne Bay. Lounge on the beach and take a dip, before strolling the pedestrians-only, European-style Española Way. Pop into Tropezón for Spanish tapas and creative gin cocktails in an Andalusian-inspired space. Later, get in the holiday spirit with tickets to A Drag Queen Christmas or A Christmas Wonderland for a whole North Pole village and a half-mile of holiday displays, light shows, and immersive experiences. If you want to experience Miami nightlife, grab your Santa hat and continue the night at M2 or LIV for megaclub vibes (don’t be surprised if you bump into celebrities at the latter).

Paris

Here's a holiday getaway, Emily in Paris style. Holiday shop along the Champs-Élysées, where trees are lit up in spectacular red LED lights. While there, grab lunch and a macaron at Ladurée. The cooler temps and smaller crowds make it an ideal time to visit famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower (catch a great view of it in the Christmas village at Trocadéro), the Louvre, and Notre-Dame Cathedral, where you'll find a Christmas market for the season (also check out the one at the Tuileries Gardens). Parisian cafés and bistros are enticing with warm and comforting dishes like onion soup, coq au vin, and decadent pastries. Sip a café au lait at Café Charlot in Le Marais or dig into the stunning bûche de Noël at the Butterfly Pâtisserie in the Hôtel de Crillon.

Los Angeles

The glitz in Las Vegas gets glitzier come holiday time when hotels and casinos are just a little more extra. The Bellagio transforms its gardens into a winter wonderland while The Venetian’s Winter in Venice goes all out with holiday decor, canal-side ice skating, and festive events. The rooftop pool deck at The Cosmopolitan turns into an outdoor ice rink with real ice, holiday music, fire pits, and even occasional "snowfall." Sip hot chocolate or cocktails while skating with views of The Strip. Catch The Nutcracker by the Nevada Ballet Theatre at The Smith Center. Visit the Ethel M Chocolate Factory in Henderson to see the famous Holiday Cactus Garden illuminated with over a million lights, and escape the city for a scenic holiday hike in Red Rock Canyon, just a short drive from the city.

The best time to visit Mumbai is between October and February for milder temps, and before/after monsoon season. Explore the Gateway of India, one of Mumbai’s most iconic landmarks, located by the waterfront. Take a ferry ride from here to Elephanta Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you can explore ancient cave temples dating back to the 6th century. Stroll along Marine Drive, also known as the "Queen's Necklace," due to its curved shape and sparkling lights at night. Walk through the Hanging Gardens, take a Bollywood Tour, and enjoy high tea at the Taj Mahal Palace Mumbai.

Phoenix is perfect for a wellness escape during the holidays. Hike Camelback Mountain, one of Phoenix’s most popular hiking spots, for stunning panoramic views of the city and the surrounding desert landscape. Just outside Phoenix, Old Town Scottsdale blends Wild West charm with modern art galleries, boutiques, and restaurants. Stroll through the streets to find unique art, local crafts, and enjoy the lively nightlife or weekend markets. The Desert Botanical Garden is home to thousands of species of cacti, succulents, and desert plants. The garden offers scenic walking trails, art installations, and seasonal events like the Las Noches de las Luminarias, which lights up the garden with thousands of glowing luminaries during the holidays. For wellness, travel 2 hours to Sedona’s breathtaking Boynton Canyon, where the iconic spa Mii amo offers casitas with private balconies or patios, in-room kiva fireplaces and soaking tubs, as well as wellness experiences like chakra balancing and intuitive massage.

San Juan

Photo by Dangelie Perez

Beyond your winter escape to beautiful beaches like Condado Beach or Isla Verde, Old San Juan is absolutely worth a visit. Explore the colorful colonial architecture lit up with Christmas lights. Walk through the cobblestone streets, visit the San Juan Bautista Cathedral, and explore the historic fort Castillo San Felipe del Morro (shown above). Enjoy a traditional Puerto Rican feast with foods like roast pork (lechón asado), arroz con gandules (rice with pigeon peas), pasteles (similar to tamales), and tembleque (coconut dessert) at one of the many restaurants in San Juan, like like Deaverdura or Cocina al Fondo. Stay for NYE and visit one of the World's Best Bars La Factoría and/or Pio Pio Champagne Bar, and pop by the waterfront for the Old San Juan Fireworks.

Chicago

Photo by Chait Goli

Celebrate the holidays in one of the most festive U.S. cities, Chicago. Skate across the McCormick Tribune Ice Rink under the backdrop of Chicago’s iconic skyline. Visit the city’s official Christmas tree in Millennium Park and catch a performance of The Nutcracker at the Joffrey Ballet or A Christmas Carol at the Goodman Theatre. Enjoy a festive afternoon tea at one of Chicago’s historic hotels, such as The Drake or The Peninsula. Shop the Magnificent Mile, which is beautifully lit up during the holiday season. Art lovers will fawn over The Art Institute of Chicago, and Second City comedy shows make for a fun night out. Try Beatrix for brunch and don’t miss the deep dish Chicago pizza at Lou Malnati's Pizzeria and inventive cocktails at The Aviary. If you're brave, join the annual Polar Bear Plunge, where you can dive into the icy waters of Lake Michigan to kick off the New Year!

Delhi

Photo by Ranjeet Chauhan

Delhi comes alive in the first of November during Diwali with beautifully lit homes, fireworks, and cultural events. Visit A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Delhi’s most beautiful Mughal monuments, Humayun’s Tomb (shown above). Attend a Dastangoi performance, a traditional Urdu storytelling art form, at the India International Centre. Take a yoga sesh at the Lodhi Gardens, a great spot for photography. Just a few hours away is the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. Explore the Pink City of Jaipur with its palaces, forts, and vibrant culture on a weekend trip from Delhi too.

Punta Cana

Photo by CGXL MEDIA

Get some serious holiday escape R&R at this postcard-beautiful island for the ultimate romantic getaway. Lounge by the pool with a piña colada at one of many all-inclusive resorts, like Excellence Punta Cana, an adults-only resort and spa. When you’re ready to explore the island, take a dip in the cenotes, or underground caves, at Scape Park in Capa Cana or the freshwater lagoons at Indigenous Eyes Ecological Park. Dine downtown at the Noah restaurant, which is the top restaurant in town, according to TripAdvisor, and watch an amazing performance at the Coco Bongo Punta Cana nightclub.

Barcelona

Photo by AXP Photography

Barcelona is quieter during the holiday season than it is in the summer with perfect sightseeing weather (average around 65 degrees). Explore Antoni Gaudí’s architectural masterpieces, like the Sagrada Família, which holds a special Christmas mass; Park Güell (shown above), a whimsical mosaic-filled park with fantastic views of the city; Casa Batlló, one of Gaudí’s most impressive residential buildings with organic, sea-inspired design (you can take a guided tour), and Casa Milà (La Pedrera) with its wave-like stone façade and quirky rooftop chimneys. Stroll through the Gothic Quarter (the El Born area is great for shopping), take a tapas food tour, and ring in the New Year, if you wish, following the Spanish tradition of eating 12 green grapes at midnight to bring good luck in the year ahead.

Bangkok

Photo by Kirandeep Singh Walia

Visit everything from bustling markets and glittering temples to rooftop bars and street food vendors in Bangkok. The Grand Palace is one of Bangkok’s most iconic landmarks. Inside, find Wat Phra Kaew, home to the Emerald Buddha, a highly revered statue. Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is the most famous floating market near Bangkok, where you can shop for traditional snacks and holiday gifts from boats. Take a boat ride on the Chao Phraya River; ride a tuk-tuk ride along the Khao San Road; and relax in Lumpini Park for a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok (you can rent a paddleboat, enjoy a picnic, or simply take a stroll while watching locals practice tai chi). Keep an eye out for the giant monitor lizards that roam freely in the park! Visit iconic rooftop bars, like Sky Bar at Lebua State Tower, famous for being featured in the movie The Hangover 2, and Vertigo and Moon Bar, located at the Banyan Tree Hotel with stunning 360-degree views of the city.

Dallas/Fort Worth

Photo by Huihui Zhang

Trade your snow boots for cowgirl boots, and check out our stay at Dallas’s boutique hotel and speakeasy, Hôtel Swexan, a worthy visit for food, drink or stay, if you’re in town. The Dallas Holiday Parade on December 7 features festive floats, marching bands, and an appearance by Santa Claus. Get your nature fix at The Dallas Arboretum, which puts on a spectacular holiday display, featuring life-sized gazebos representing each of the "12 Days of Christmas." Visit after-dark to see the illuminated gardens. Head to the Fort Worth Stockyards for a unique, cowboy-themed holiday celebration with parades, caroling, cowboy Santa meet-and-greets, and Western-themed Christmas lights and decorations. Just outside Dallas, Grapevine transforms into the "Christmas Capital of Texas," with a host of holiday activities. The North Pole Express, a festive train ride with Santa Claus, storytelling, and hot chocolate, is one of the highlights.

Rome

Beat the summer crowds and enjoy a festive Rome during the holiday season. Visit Vatican City (shown) for Christmas celebrations, including St. Peter’s Basilica decorated with Christmas trees, lights, and a large nativity scene in St. Peter’s Square. On Christmas Day, the actual Pope gives the "Urbi et Orbi" blessing from the basilica’s balcony. Walk the 135 Spanish Steps with a gelato a la Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday, stand in awe of the Colosseum and Roman Forum, and toss a coin in the most famous fountains in the world, the Trevi Fountain, a masterpiece of Baroque art. (Tossing a coin, legend has it, means you’ll return to Rome again one day – molto bene!).

Hallmark might have convinced us that the holidays are best spent in a small town, but I think Christmas in New York is just as magical. Look in any corner of this massive city and you'll find lights, decor, and your favorite Christmas songs. And just like the city itself, the holiday comes in multitudes. Some of it's maximalistic and over-the-top, and some of it is sleek and chic. It all depends on which corner you find yourself!

Here are 35 photos of Christmas in New York that will leave you daydreaming about a holiday in the city — and might just convince you to book a trip for next year!

Get in the spirit with these Christmas in New York photos!

The only thing more magical than a Christmas tree in Manhattan? A Christmas tree in Manhattan covered in snow. Yes, please.

It wouldn't be Christmas in New York without a trip to Radio City Music Hall. Rockettes anyone?

Another iconic part of any trip to New York during the holidays is ice skating at Rockefeller center. You'll feel like you're in a movie!

Chloe Williams/Brit + Co

And right up the stairs after ice skating, you'll find Rockefeller plaza lit by angels and stars. You can almost hear the trumpets!

"Snowflakes and nutcrackers" sounds like the perfect way to start a Christmas song.

Eloise at Christmastime is one of the ultimate Christmas movies, and Christmas in New York simply isn't Christmas in New York without the Plaza. Seeing it during the holidays is like nothing you've seen before.

This photo of the Empire State Building looks the way "River" by Joni Mitchell sounds. And I love it for that.

TV shows have the unique ability to capture the cultural pulse of their time, and sitcoms might just be the greatest example. They're packed with relevant humor and characters that are supposed to be relatable, so they quickly become staples in homes across the country.

However, as we continue to evolve as a society, so do our standards, and plenty of shows you might've watched as a kid or teen now just seem dated or even downright offensive in hindsight. Here are some classic sitcoms that, while once iconic, haven't aged well.

Scroll to see all the sitcoms that actually aged really badly...

CBS

1. How I Met Your Mother

It's natural to have flawed characters in TV series, but one How I Met Your Mother character in particular, Barney Stinson, is especially problematic. Portrayed by Neil Patrick Harris, Barney is known for being manipulative and casually misogynistic.

For instance, he has a "playbook" of pick-up lines, regularly lies to women just to sleep with them, and perpetuates toxic masculinity. Barney's behavior might've been able to snag some laughs back in the day, but his disrespectful actions wouldn't be so well-received by audiences in 2025.

Warner Bros. Television

2. Two and a Half Men

Two and a Half Men continues to air on TV and stream across platforms, but that doesn't mean its premise isn't controversial.

Charlie Sheen plays Charlie Harper, a man who routinely treats women as objects for his own pleasure and perpetuates harmful gender stereotypes. Not to mention, Charlie's behavior is showcased in front of his young nephew, Jake, who becomes privy to situations that are way too mature for a kid.

Sure, there is humor in the tension between Charlie and his brother, Alan. Nonetheless, the line between comedy and inappropriate content is definitely blurred.

ABC

3. Ugly Betty

Both the title and plot of Ugly Betty probably wouldn't hold up if it were released today. The show revolves around Betty Suarez, played by America Ferrera, who is a smart, ambitious, and kind-hearted young woman. However, since she wears glasses, has braces, and doesn't follow fashion trends, she's deemed "ugly" and deals with constant ridicule after landing a job at a fashion magazine.

It's undeniable that Ugly Betty is packed with both funny and heartfelt moments. Nonetheless, the way the show treats Betty's looks and reinforces harmful beauty standards feels super outdated in our more body-positive and inclusive era.

20th Century Fox Television

4. That 70's Show

When you think of That 70's Show, you might picture the classic bell-bottom-wearing friend group sitting around, surrounded by clouds of smoke. Compared to how the character Fes, played by Wilmer Valderrama, was treated, the underage drug use seems relatively tame.

As the "foreign exchange student," Fes is not only given a name that reduces him to being an outsider, but a lot of the humor surrounding his character also just relies on racist stereotypes. That 70's Show might've intended to be lighthearted, but it's tough to imagine a modern sitcom leaning on so many old tropes.

CBS

5. Everybody Loves Raymond

Despite being a funny character, Ray Barone, played by Ray Romano, reinforces problematic gender roles in Everybody Loves Raymond.

He comes off as a passive husband who typically sides with his mother over his wife, leaving his wife to shoulder much of the emotional labor and household chores. This old-fashioned family dynamic feels especially inappropriate today when modern sitcoms are trying to challenge these old stereotypes.

CBS

6. The Big Bang Theory

The initial appeal of The Big Bang Theory centered around nerd culture being quirky and odd, but today, this kind of "otherness" just isn't considered funny anymore.

Each character also has their own specific issues, with Raj's selective mutism being played for laughs, Penny embodying the "dumb blonde" stereotype, and Sheldon's behavior that's exaggerated for comedic effect. In 2025, this sitcom seems repetitive and shallow since it leans too heavily on stereotypes.

Touchstone Television

7. Home Improvement

When it comes to Home Improvement, this show pushed a traditional narrative where men are defined by their roles as the breadwinners and having handyman skills; meanwhile, a woman's value is tied to her appearance and household duties.

Tim Taylor, played by Tim Allen, is a one-dimensional character whose storyline almost totally revolves around his role as the host of "Tool Time," a fictional TV show. Not to mention, there's the "Tool Time girl," a woman whose sole purpose is to stand and look attractive while introducing Tim and his co-host. The lack of depth and outdated gender tropes make Home Improvement a tough watch today.

CBS

8. According to Jim

On a similar note, the show According to Jim features a father, played by Jim Belushi, who embodies traditional gender roles. His behavior doesn't fit the mold of the typical sitcom dad, though, since Jim is always lying to his wife and sister, interrupting others, and acting just plain rude.

In hindsight, Jim's character perpetuates misogyny and being overly macho, something that probably wouldn't fly if made today.

ICYMI, while some of us were showing off our best Halloween costumesthis weekend, hundreds of people gathered in New York City's Washington Square Park for a Timothée Chalamet Lookalike Contest. Various people who look similar to the actor (AKA, Timmy's in different fonts) showed up in costume, while others genuinely look so much like him they were believable in their own clothes!

Get hundreds of people together in NYC and you're in for a crazy afternoon, but things got even more chaotic when Timothée Chalamet himself showed up...and then the police came disperse the crowd (and even arrested one attendee). Despite this turn of events, one lookalike, dressed up as the titular character from Wonka, was crowned the winner. Here are the best tweets about the very-eventful Sunday.

The Best Tweets About The Timothée Chalamet Lookalike Contest

He was, folks!

In the flesh!

And even Netflix got in on the conversation!

The Timothée Chalamet Lookalike Contest made New York City feel even more like your very strange, very random small town.

I was definitely feeling nostalgic for 2014.

There are some things that can't be explained in words, for real.

How could anyone focus on anything else?!

Work smarter, not harder.

The only thing better than showing up to the Timothée Chalamet Lookalike Contest? Accidentally showing up to the Timothée Chalamet Lookalike Contest.

Hang this in the Louvre.

I think Timmy (and Wonka) would approve.

The Timothée Chalamet Lookalike Contest was a day for the history books.

Pull through Timmy!

With his current Marty Supremelook, it's no wonder no one recognized him.

Okay, we had to suspend our disbelief just a bit, but that's the fun of it!

This was more entertaining than any Halloween party could be, TBH.

I truly don't know the last time I felt mindless joy like this.

There are so many layers to the Timothée Chalamet Lookalike Contest.

And on a fine Sunday afternoon, there's nowhere I'd rather see them.

WHERE'S HIS TROPHY?!

Well, that's one way to look at it.

Love is in the air!

Y'all want to meet in Central Park next weekend?

Getting stuck in a cooking rut often means reaching for the same ingredients without realizing healthier — and just as tasty —alternatives are within easy reach. The good news? You don’t need to overhaul your routine to make a difference. With just a few simple cooking swaps, you can give your favorite meals a healthy twist, cut back on refined ingredients, and enjoy more nourishing ingredients every day.

Here are five easy cooking swaps to try this week!

Shameel Mukkath

1. Swap Sour Cream for Greek Yogurt

Get that creamy tang without the extra fat. Greek yogurt is packed with protein, lower in calories, and often contains probiotics, which are great for your gut health. Greek yogurt is delicious in dips, dressings, or even dolloped on tacos or (my favorite) grilled salmon.

2. Use Olive Oil Instead of Butter

For sautéing or drizzling, EVOO adds heart-healthy fats and antioxidants. It’s a flavorful upgrade that also supports better cholesterol levels than butter. Just make sure to cook it at a lower heat, under 430 degrees is recommended.

Ella Olsson

3. Choose Whole Grains Over Refined

Trade white rice or pasta for brown rice, quinoa, or whole wheat pasta. Whole grains are higher in fiber — and the secret to a healthy Mediterraneandiet — keeping you fuller longer and supporting digestive health. Cauliflower rice and spaghetti squash are also healthy alternatives to white rice and pasta and you get the added bonus of an extra veggie in your meal.

Foodie Factor

4. Swap Mayo for Avocado

Avocados, an excellent source of healthy unsaturated fats, make a great swap for traditional mayo in baking and preparing your favorite sandwich. Avocado oil mayo is also a healthy alternative and you'll taste nearly no difference.

5. Add Veggies to Everything

I shred cauliflower or carrots into my daughter's pancakes to give an extra nutrient boost. Sneak in shredded zucchini, spinach, or cauliflower rice into sauces, casseroles, or even baked goods. Swap hearty mushrooms, beets or eggplant for burgers too. It’s a simple way to eat more fiber and vitamins without changing the dish, or taste, too much.
