Hi friends, welcome back! I always love seeing the famous Macy's on 34th Street holiday windows and this year's theme is "Give Love". The windows feature the adorable reindeer Tiptoe as she partakes in her favorite holiday activities with her woodland friends. I think Macy's always has the cutest holiday windows, and I love that they tell such a wholesome story of the holidays and friendship. Macy's also made some of their windows interactive this year. Half of the windows have a button you can press to have your picture taken, start some Christmas carols, or play a game. The windows were officially unveiled on November 16th and will be up until New Year's Day. They can be seen in Herald Square between 34th and 35th Street.
Each window has a little poem that goes along with the scene and I've included it before each picture. "Oh, the joy of the season is here with lights and garland, so dear. The trees were dressed In their finest glow as Tiptoe prepared for this year's Holiday Show."
"A candy carousel? What a marvelous surprise! Tiptoe couldn't believe her eyes. There were candy canes and gobstoppers galore, which made her wonder what else Santa had in store." This window is my favorite.
"Her nose grew long, while her smile grew wide. What was this, Tiptoe thought, some kind of funhouse ride? No, they were the shiniest ornaments you ever did see and her silly reflection made her laugh with glee."
"The music swirled a kaleidoscope of sound, a symphony of carols all around. Trumpets and horns, they filled the air, as Tiptoe danced without a single care."
"Nutcrackers marched in a perfect line. Dressed in red and gold, their uniforms did shine. A spectacular stage for a festive night, Tiptoe swirled and twirled, what a wonderful sight."
"The countdown to celebration has begun, a time of joy, a time of fun. Let's sing a song of holiday cheer, best wishes to all and a Happy New Year!"
I went on opening day and it was pretty busy, people were excited for the holiday season to commence. I got interviewed by a local radio station but I was so nervous I forgot to remember which one. Hope I said something intelligent and festive!
The other side of Macy's, 34th Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenue, has some cute windows too. I also love all the garland and wreaths. This side is probably familiar to you if you watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Inside, Macy's adds lots of sparkle and cheer to their nine floors. Every year Jon and I pick out an ornament and this year we were very disappointed by the selection. We tried to find a cute NYC themed one with the year and this is what they were offering… We couldn't believe it!
This is the one we ended up with.
I thought the windows were cute, but I prefer the 2022 windows because they were more detailed. If you want to see more of Tiptoes' adventures you can see her learning to fly in 2021 here, and celebrating Christmas with her friends in 2022 here. What do you think of Macy's holiday windows this year?
