Christmas in New York City during December is one of the most magical travel experiences in the world. In this NYC Christmas vlog, come with me as I spend 48 hours in New York City at Christmas visiting Rockefeller Center, ice skating beneath the tree, seeing the Rockettes, and walking through Central Park in winter.
Hey there and welcome to Christmas in New York City. Can you believe that we are here? One of
my very very good friends, her name is also Brittany, and I decided that we wanted to end
the year on a really good note and just take a little girls trip and experience Christmas in
the city. Neither of us have spent Christmas in New York City and so we're going to spend a few
days here. We just arrived at our hotel. This is the Pierre. It is such a beautiful beautiful hotel.
The lobby looks incredible for Christmas. It's just a really really magical place. It's right
by Central Park. It's a really great location to just do all the things downtown Manhattan and
I love love this hotel and I'm so excited to stay here at Christmas. So I'm going to give you a
quick tour of our room before we step out today just so you can see it. I'm always curious to see
different rooms when people travel so we just have a small room and we're not going to spend a lot of
time in here so it'll get the job done but always great service here at the Pierre and yeah of
course I would not come to the city at Christmas time and not bring you with me. Really excited to
share this trip with you and get this started. We're just here for a couple of days but of course
we are going to do all of the iconic Christmas things. We're actually about to head out to
Rockefeller Center. We're going to go ice skating and of course you know that I could not come to
the city and not visit the Balsam Hill Chalets at Rockefeller Center so I'm really looking forward
to doing that having some cozy hot cocoa and just seeing that beautiful beautiful tree in person.
I am so excited. I've never seen the Rockefeller Center tree in person before so this is just such
a special special trip for me and Brittany and after that I think we'll do some sightseeing.
I don't know we're just going to see what we can do and I know for sure we're going to the Rockettes
tomorrow night because we can't miss that. We can't come for Christmas and not go see the Rockettes.
I'm going to do my best to share every bit of this trip here with you so thank you for being
here today. I hope that you enjoy this video and this cozy New York Christmas so let's go get this
day started. Let's go make some memories together. Okay this lighting is not the best but I'm going
to touch up my makeup really quickly before we step out. Today I have partnered with City Beauty
which is one of my absolute favorite beauty brands. I've been using City Beauty lip products for
I don't even know how many years. I have bought their lip gloss religiously over the years in
probably just about any and every color but I decided to just bring the clear with me. This is
their plumping lip gloss. Anytime I get a compliment on my lip gloss I always have a City Beauty product
on. This is always in my bag and it was definitely going to be in my travel bag but I also brought a
few of my other essentials that I use from City Beauty with me to travel. I brought the lip oil.
I was not coming to the city without this because my lips get so dry and I love their City Lips
Night Oil. It's a plumping oil and I really love this and then I also use their lid lifting
treatment. This is for your eyes. This is a line therapy treatment for your lips that you put around
your lips. These are two of my must-have products in my skincare routine. I really love all their
formulas. I also like that they have cruelty-free products. They are paraben free and I just know
what I'm putting on my skin so that's very important to me as you know if you watch my
channel and I know it's probably important to you too. Just wanted to share them here with you
quickly today and I really appreciate them partnering here with me on my channel. I always
love when I get to work with brands that I've been a customer of for so many years. It just feels
so wonderful to support them in this way and get to share something with you that I've been using
for so long. If you wanted to try City Beauty I will be sure to leave a link in the description
box below and a QR code right here on the screen. Make sure though that you use my discount code.
You can get 20% off your purchase with the code BRITTANYBLANK. So if you do choose to shop with
City Beauty make sure you use that code. You'll get a great deal. So I'm gonna go finish touching
up my makeup and then we are gonna head out on the town. So let's do it. Peppermint vodka. Let's
see. This is a lot. Oh yeah, it's peppermint vodka. I don't know if I should put all that in there.
We'll do that. We'll do that and see how we're feeling, right? There's marshmallows. So cute.
Right now we are deciding what we want to do today. Tonight we are going to the Rockettes
and I think right now we're just gonna go do a little shopping, sightseeing, maybe go to
Central Park and find some really good food. So I think that's what we're going to do. It's
actually a beautiful day. It snowed a couple of days ago here so there's a little bit of snow
still on the ground but it's in the 40s. I know for you northerners it's not that cold. For me
we'll see how I fare today. Anyway let's head out and go see what we can find.
It's December again. I can't wait to leave it and to the rest of the year.
I barely did see it now I'm calling all angels high if you are there
i want that christmas spirit again and myself wandering downtown oh shopping listening to the
sound from some street crier caroling through the air and the smell of a big christmas tree
again this is like her color
this is you all right it's a little dark in here because it's night out and I don't have the best
lighting but Britt and I just got ready. We are going to officially see the Rockettes and I'm so
excited. We're about to head out to the show. It's Christmas Eve and I've still got nothing for you
I'm out on a last minute spree
hoping to find that something that makes you see that I love you
I've been out running all day
nothing catches my eye what do you get for someone who has it all I've been to every corner
of this godforsaken morn what in the world be that something that made you see that I love you
I've got to give for Christmas is this
a christmas kiss close your eyes and park with your lips cause here it is
all right so we are back in the hotel room again not the best lighting but we just had such an
incredible last night in New York City and we're gonna go to bed because we have a very early
flight so I just want to say thank you for hanging out with us in this video I hope you enjoyed it
and I will see you again soon in the next one until I do take care Merry Christmas and even
though we didn't decorate in this video I always like to wish you a happy decorating so happy
decorating
