when does xmas start in new york

Christmas begins on December 25th, but the celebrations typically start several days before that. In New York, Christmas trees and decorations are set up in public spaces in mid-December, and many stores start playing Christmas music and selling festive merchandise even earlier. Christmas Eve is a big night for parties and gatherings, and Christmas Day is a day of feasting and exchanging gifts with family and friends. The holiday season continues through the New Year, with New Year's Eve being another big celebration.
