PlaceChase ChristmasWindows 4+

New for Mac! Experience the sights sounds & stories of NYC holiday traditions. See Bloomingdale's 2020 windows, see the Saks light show & hear how all of this came to be.

ChristmasWindows is the perfect guide to the holiday season in NYC but offers so much more too! We’ll walk you through the Christmas Window tradition, and spill the beans on the larger than life stories of the city’s iconic retail houses. Tattoos, elephants, Canadian imposters, Presidential cheapness, supercilious French designers, lackadaisical French tailors and ingenious French smugglers, women shackled and women freed by the dictates of high fashion – we cover it all.

PlaceChase Christmas includes eight Places between 34th and 59th Streets. Our curated exploration offers a full morning or afternoon of enchantment, with some delightful only-in-NYC stories to boot, or, when you just need a little Christmas, take the deep dive into a single Place. As always, we include surprising historical images to go along with each Place. While we’ve included the trivia questions that are our signature feature, we’ve made it so easy – there are fewer challenges, they’re all multiple choice, and you can skip them if you wish -- we tell you exactly where to go. Follow our route or make your own - you can explore the Places in any order, all at your own pace.

In common with all of our Chases, once you have downloaded the app, no further internet connectivity is required to enjoy your Chase. You may binge-Chase in a single session, or ration out the goodies as you choose. You may take the Chase as often as you wish. There is no advertising and we do not collect your data.
