The holidays are officially here, and seasonal markets are popping up throughout the city to spread holiday cheer, delight the culinary senses, and showcase original gifts for everyone on our lists. With roots in the traditional European holiday markets, the Bryant Park Winter Village, the Union Square Holiday Market, and the Columbus Circle Holiday Market are some of the most popular markets in NYC.

The holiday markets are a winter staple in the city, providing small businesses a chance to shine and showcase their artisanal goods and indulging the public with a variety of goods off the beaten track. With something for everyone, the markets are worth the trip, so bundle up, maybe take a spin around the skate rinks, and soak in the holiday spirit!
