There are few things more magical than Christmas in NYC.
Whether you're a born-and-raised native New Yorker, a transplant, a commuter from our neighboring states, or a tourist visiting from all over the world, this city will impress even the most tiny-hearted Grinch.
The festive cheer is evident on every street corner, giving off an almost palpable flood of joy and excitement to people of all ages.
We've scoured Instagram for some of our favorite shots of the city bedecked in its Christmas best. We know. It's harder to get into the Christmas spirit this year because there isn't snow.
That hasn't stopped the millions of people either living or visiting NYC from enjoying the sights, so check out the photos below. Stop wallowing in the pains of not having snow. Enjoy the holidays.
