Santa’s Secret Immersive Holiday Experience is bringing the heat to NYC this holiday season, and with the experience closing soon, it’s cranking up the thermometer! In the few weeks Santa’s Secret has been opened, it’s charmed the hearts of NYers. Some have called it elegant and sexy, and it’s easy to see why. Featuring 8 themed installations, the spicy show has been on many holiday lists: unique displays, a live band, a speakeasy room with 2 bars, holiday cocktails… there are so many reasons why you should experience Santa’s Secret if you haven’t already. Keep reading for our top five!
Naughty or nice, we’ll see you at Santa’s Secret before it leaves NYC on December 31st!
1. It’s a fun way to get you in the holiday spirit
Entering the iconic Hudson Yards, you’ll be completely immersed in a winter wonderland… but one that’s quite unlike the others you’ve experienced throughout the years. Immersive holiday installs, from performers in giant snow globes to gingerbread girls and lumberjacks, the show already promises to be one-of-its-kind. Making your way along the winding path, you’ll find yourself surrounded by not one, but two bars at the speakeasy-style performance room. Sipping on your favorite holiday concoction (spiked or not) as you’re taking in the seasonal decor of Santa’s Secret makes for the ultimate holiday feels.
2. There are two cocktail bars and an à la carte dinner
All of the holiday flavors come to life at Santa’s Secret bars. We’re talking about cinnamon, eggnog, cocoa and mulled everything. You’ll also get to experience a fancy à la carte dining experience for NYE. If you haven’t secured your plans yet, this may just be one of the best plans in the city. Since your mouth will be agape at all the incredible performances, having something to eat and drink sounds like the perfect pick me up. Plus, it’s an incredible way to ring in the new year, as you’ll be in the historic Hudson Yards enjoying a DJ set and special performance once the clock rings midnight. A tip: tickets will go fast, so be sure to book yours while you can!
3. You get drag, ballet and burlesque performances in one show.
What makes Santa’s Secret so special has to be its incredible performances. The experience merges ballet, burlesque and drag for a spicy show with a holiday twist. It doesn’t matter who you’re watching or listening to, the incredible acrobatics, dances and musical numbers will get you in the spirit. It definitely checks the box if you’re not looking for a standard holiday show!
4. It’s the perfect experience for those on the naughty list
Naughty or nice, Santa’s Secret is for you. It’s particularly ideal for those filthy animals that have been feening for a naughty twist to the holidays. The entire season can feel very family-friendly, but if you’re looking to have your very own grown-up fun, Santa’s Secret is definitely in the cards. After all, who said the holidays were just for the kiddos?
