There’s no place like Manhattan for the holidays.

There’s ice skating at Rockefeller Plaza, ambling through the vendor stalls at the Bryant Park Holiday Market or watching the harmoniously synchronized dancing from the Radio City Rockettes.

But if watching the tree lighting ceremony outside 30 Rock isn’t all you want for Christmas, the city that never sleeps has a wealth of festive happenings to make your spirits bright.

We’ve compiled a list of must-do holiday activities to make your holidays jolly, catering to those who want to bear the frigid weather for an outdoor excursion or people who would rather sip some spiked eggnog fireside.

Ballets and movie screenings, cabarets and festive pubs, these are just a few of our favorite things.

Baby, it’s cold outside — so, bundle up and take the trek to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden for the third annual Lightscape spectacular.

Nestled in Prospect Park, the gardens become home to a dazzling display of lights across 18 installations from an array of international light artists.

“Nowhere else in the city will you find a more mesmerizing way to spend a winter night, celebrating the season and joining with friends and family to experience New York’s new contemporary classic for the holidays,” Brooklyn Botanic Garden president and CEO Adrian Benepe said in a statement.

You can get the best of both worlds this winter: Dine outdoors while shielded from the cold in a private, heated igloo.

The seasonal spheres are available to book around the city — from more tourist-centric hotspots like Bryant Park or Rockefeller Center to more luxe locations such as the rooftops of PUBLIC Hotel or Salon de Ning.

Kick up your boots and lounge 80 stories up while watching Will Ferrell star in the Christmas classic “Elf.”

While there may not be spaghetti with syrup served during the showing, visitors can experience the New York City landmark and take in the 360° views before the film begins.

It wouldn’t be a traditional Christmas without heading to the New York City Ballet, where audiences are transported to the Kingdom of the Sugar Plum Fairy in George Balanchine’s “The Nutcracker.”

The captivating performance — which employs 90 dancers, 62 musicians, 40 stagehands and over 125 children — features an awe-inspiring tannenbaum, which looms 41 feet over the audience at its tallest.

And this year is extra special as City Ballet celebrates its 75th anniversary.

A colossal — 36 foot — menorah will be illuminated each night of Hanukkah on Fifth Avenue this year, weighing, at least in past years, a whopping 4,000 pounds.

The seasonal candelabrum rivals the one at Brooklyn’s Grand Army Plaza, which has competed with the Manhattan menorah for the title of “World’s Largest.”

Not to be confused with “Disney’s The Santa Clauses’ Winter Wonderland” at Pier 17, this equally enthralling experience at the Watermark offers an array of lit-up trees, festive photo opportunities, holiday eats, glass houses to lounge in and even a visit from Santa himself, all while taking in the breathtaking view of the Brooklyn Bridge.

Get a taste of North Pole magic right in the heart of Midtown with the Candy Cottage of Christmas Magic, an immersive experience where visitors are equipped with a personalized itinerary for their captivating scavenger hunt.

If you’re looking to get on the naughty list, spice up your holidays by attending Santa’s Secret, a seasonal variety show hosted in Hudson Yards.

The ticketed, 18+ experience features eight immersive installations, a vintage bar serving up festive cocktails and a risqué cabaret show — ranging from ballet to burlesque — with a different kind of pole.

For something more family-friendly, take a trip down down Gingerbread Lane and view the delectable town — a sweet tooth haven — comprised of nearly 1,000 drool-worthy houses. If it’s anything like years past, which were made from 1,000 pounds of gingerbread and 4,000 pounds of candy, the impressive feat of engineering is a must-see.

The world’s largest gingerbread village, which takes a year to build, previously took place in Essex Market, but will be on display in Chelsea this year until Jan. 7, 2024.

Pop into Frosty’s for a drink at the season’s best pop-up bar located in Times Square.

With a brilliant decor display — nutcrackers, tinsel, ornaments, oh my! — Frosty’s serves up an array of festive beverages under the glow of holiday lights.
