Holiday Programming at The Shops at Columbus Circle
From dazzling decorations to charity opportunities and a larger-than-life gingerbread village, there’s plenty of ways to get in the festive spirit this holiday season at The Shops at Columbus Circle.
“This year, we have significantly expanded our signature “Holiday Under the Stars” programming, welcoming visitors and locals alike to celebrate under the twinkling lights with us,” said Stephanie Fink, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Partnerships & Events for The Shops at Columbus Circle. The decor program has added 44 new stars and 300,000 sparkling lights to create a “kaleidoscope of colors” for visitors to admire.
The shining stars are set to a choreographed light show that will dazzle New Yorkers every 30 minutes daily from 5pm to midnight. You can find them hanging over the Great Room between the 58th and 60th Street entrances.
Plaza Hotel Chef alum, Jon Lovitch, has created a gingerbread masterpiece using thousands of pounds of icing to construct an NYC-inspired village. Curious how to build such beautiful gingerbread creations? You can join Lovitch in ticketed gingerbread-making classes throughout the season.
