20 Insta Captions For Christmas In NYC, Because It's Pure Magic

While there's no place like home, there's also no place like Christmastime in New York City. There's something so magical about being in The City That Never Sleeps during the most wonderful time of the year. From the grand Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center, to the lavishly festive store windows on Fifth Avenue, there's so much to see. If you're planning a trip to The Big Apple this December, you'll want to pack some captions for Christmas in NYC along with your sweaters and scarves.

When I lived in the city, the one way to get me in the holiday spirit was to walk around and look at the decorations. First off, I always stopped by the holiday market in Bryant Park to shop for my family. Next, I made a trip to Rockefeller Center to swoon over the tree and skating rink. After grabbing a hot chocolate, I kept going up Fifth Avenue, past the shops, towards Central Park. On my way, I always made sure to stop by the Plaza Hotel like I was Kevin McCallister in Home Alone 2.

To finish off my Christmas journey, I would walk around the snowy Central Park like I was Buddy the Elf. And that's just one way of a million to experience Christmas in NYC. If you're looking to find your very own holiday spirit in the city, you'll want to keep around these 20 captions for any pictures you take along the way.
