Radio City Christmas Spectacular!

Get in the holiday spirit with a trip to see the Radio City Rockettes!

With Christmas fast approaching, it’s time to get into the holiday spirit! Our motorcoach trip to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular can help do just that.

Enjoy a day in New York City that is full of holiday fun! Before bustling into Radio City Music Hall to see the famous Rockettes, who are celebrating their 85th anniversary, spend some free time exploring the city. December is a magical time of year anywhere, but definitely a wonderment in New York City.

You can stroll by Macy’s, Bloomingdales, Saks 5th Avenue, Barney’s and many other stores to gaze in amazement at their renowned holiday window displays.

After browsing the window displays, do some of your holiday shopping at one of the outdoor Christmas Markets such as the one at Bryant Park. With over 100 vendors selling everything from food, to clothing, to jewelry and other gifts there is a little something for everyone at Bryant Park. If shopping isn’t your thing, Bryant Park also touts an outdoor ice skating rink.

Another Christmas must-see in New York is, of course, Rockefeller Center. The enormous (and enormously famous) Christmas Tree will be lit starting on November, 28th, so I highly recommend making it a stop on any pre-holiday city tour. This year’s tree marks the 80th anniversary of this holiday tradition. While enjoying the lights and perhaps a nice toasty cup of hot chocolate, strap on some skates and glide around their outdoor ice skating rink.

The motorcoach trip to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular includes:

• Round-trip motorcoach transportation. (Bus will drop off as close to Radio City Music Hall as possible.)
• Reserved orchestra seat ticket for the Christmas Spectacular (2pm showing).
• A complimentary voucher for popcorn and your choice of water or soda at the show.
•  Dinner at Dallas BBQ following the show. (Bus will transport to restaurant.)
• Services of a Boscov’s Travel Tour Director.

For more information on The Radio City Christmas Spectacular and other great vacation ideas, contact your local Boscov’s Travel Specialist, email travelrequest@boscovs.com or call 800-755-8020.
