5. Saks Fifth Avenue

At Saks Fifth Avenue, the 2020 holiday window displays embody the theme “This is How We Celebrate.” The windows demonstrate how New Yorkers, and people around the country, have found new ways to gather and celebrate with loved ones amid the pandemic. In one of the six windows, warm drinks are served from a food truck, in another, a couple brings a mountain of gifts on the Roosevelt Island tram over the East River. In a widow reminiscent of the elaborate holiday decorations found in Dyker Heights, two neighbors plug in their decorative lights.

In addition to the window displays, Saks will continue its light show, “Saks Lights Up Fifth Avenue.” The show is all-new this year with world-premiere music. The new soundtrack pays tribute to different holiday traditions and incorporates songs like José Feliciano’s “Feliz Navidad” and the theme from Love Actually.
