Skate Under the Stars at Manhattan’s Iconic Ice Skating Rinks

Ice skating in New York City during Christmas is a quintessential holiday activity that appears in countless movies and remains a bucket-list experience for visitors worldwide. The Rockefeller Center ice skating rink is undoubtedly the most famous, offering skaters the chance to glide beneath the towering Rockefeller Christmas tree and the golden Prometheus statue while surrounded by Art Deco architecture.

A private chauffeur ensures a warm, relaxing ride back to your Tribeca hotel after an evening of skating under the Manhattan skyline.

Discover Holiday Magic at the Radio City Christmas Spectacular and Festive Theater Shows

The Radio City Christmas Spectacular featuring the world-famous Rockettes has been a New York City holiday tradition since 1933, making it one of the most iconic Christmas shows in Manhattan. This dazzling 90-minute production combines precision dancing, stunning special effects, and beloved holiday scenes including the Living Nativity with live animals that leaves audiences of all ages mesmerized. The Rockettes’ legendary high-kick routines and the jaw-dropping “Parade of the Wooden Soldiers” number showcase the incredible talent and synchronization that has made this show a must-see Christmas event for generations. Beyond Radio City, Manhattan’s Theater District offers numerous holiday-themed performances and Broadway shows that take on extra sparkle during the Christmas season with special decorations adorning the historic theater lobbies. Many families make attending the Christmas Spectacular part of their annual holiday traditions, with some visitors returning year after year to experience the show’s timeless magic. The Art Deco splendor of Radio City Music Hall itself is worth the visit, with its grand chandeliers and elegant interior creating an atmosphere of old New York glamour. Tickets for Christmas shows in NYC tend to sell out quickly, so booking several weeks or even months in advance is highly recommended, especially for weekend performances.

Tourists staying at Tribeca hotels can streamline their evening plans by booking a premium car service that provides direct, stress-free transportation to and from Radio City Music Hall. With a private chauffeur waiting after the show, visitors can relax and enjoy the glow of the holiday lights without worrying about navigating Midtown’s busiest streets.
