Our favorite Thanksgiving hotspot is getting in the yuletide spirit with the debut Herald Holiday Market.
We still have some time to go before the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, yet we’ve somehow bypassed November and catapulted straight into the holiday season. (Well, we are New Yorkers — we work fast.)
News from Urbanspace, the brainchild behind our favorite Christmas markets in NYC, let us in on the secret, and now we’re already mapping out a wishlist.
All about the Herald Holiday Market in Herald Square
While New Yorkers can expect a new celebratory Christmas space in Midtown, there are plenty of details that are still being finalized at this time. The market is dubbed “the modern-day Miracle on 34th Street” and will include some of the city’s best artisans, chefs, and creators, right near the iconic Macy’s Herald Square. It will run from December 6th, 2024 to January 3rd, 2025 and feature vendors such as Gnocchi on 9th, Sabyloo dog merch, and mechanical puzzles from Wacky Wonderworks, to name just a few. We can already envision ourselves with a warm cup of cocoa at hand while perusing fun handmade goods and stocking up for December 25th.
Even better? There’s ALSO the debut the Macy’s Holiday Square by Urbanspace from November 1st, 2024 to January 3rd, 2025, the first indoor market from Urbanspace. If you can’t wait to get going on those Christmas lists, you’ll be pleased to know you have plenty of time with an early November opening. You can expect vendors like No Chewing Allowed! fine truffles and Natural OliveWood: a family-owned business that handcrafts kitchenware.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Urbanspace to unveil the first-ever Macy’s Holiday Square to our iconic New York flagship,” says Nata Dvir, Macy’s chief merchandising officer. “We are creating the ultimate holiday experience that features unique gifts, decor and food that will be a must visit destination this season.”
Likewise, Eldon Scott, president of Urbanspace, adds, “This collaboration offers shoppers the best of New York’s holiday markets with the famous Macy’s Department Store!”
