Most New Yorkers will tell you that there are certain magical events and locations that define the holiday season here in New York City. Ever since I was a little girl, I dreamed of attending the Radio City Christmas Spectacular at the iconic Radio City Music Hall. Just seeing the beautiful and talented Rockettes in the commercials on television made me realize that seeing this event live would be a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Hanging out with the famous Radio City Rockettes!
Recently, I had the privilege of not only attending the Radio City Christmas Spectacular with my family but of visiting the famous Roxy Suite at Radio City. This suite is normally reserved for Radio City performers and VIPs like Elton John, Dave Matthews and Paul McCartney. It boasts 20-foot-high domed ceilings made of real gold, cherrywood walls and an intimate dining area. I could literally feel the spirit of the room’s history while I was in it.

This year’s Radio City Christmas Spectacular includes dynamic songs and dance numbers starring the legendary Rockettes. Attendees can also take a thrilling 3D ride through the skies of New York with Santa.
Checking the beautiful costumes that the Rockettes wear during their performances!
All this while being whisked up to the North Pole, as state-of-the-art technology that transforms Radio City Music Hall into a magical, immersive wonderland. The show enchanted us with Clara, ice skaters, dancing teddy bears, dozens of Santa Clauses and more surprises!
My family and I cherished every moment that we spent at Radio City Music Hall and we will never forget the precious memories that we made together watching the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. It was truly a magical experience that will live in our hearts forever!

This would be so much fun. I know my girls especially would enjoy it. I have been to Radio City Music Hall but never saw a show there.
Looks like a fun place. I would love to have that candy for REAL.
I have seen this show in Boston a few times when the Rockettes came on tour here. It was amazing!
We see them once every few years. I think we need to go back and see it this year.
We love going to Radio City Christmas Spectacular. it’s iconic, well-worth attending and will provide memories of a lifetime.
I have always dreamed of going to Radio City Music Hall at Christmas time! You are so lucky I bet it was so amazing!
I’ve only stayed in New York once and never got to see Radio City Music Hall. Did go to Macy’s during Christmas season – that was a cool experience!
I used to live in NY and this was my favorite holiday pasttime. Now I’m in Baltimore, so I guess I could drive up, but never do, I should change that.
This is one of those shows I have always wanted to see. I am a bit jealous right now. Hopefully I will get to see it in the future.
I’ve always wanted to visit Radio City Music Hall. It looks so festive and fun during the holiday season!
I saw this a few years ago, and was totally wowed by the LIVE manger scene they had at the end! Completely breathtaking! Great show!
I’ve always wanted to see the rockettes but never have. This would be so fun for me and my girl.
I hope to see them perform one day. It’s sort of a bucket list item. What a neat experience you had!
We live in an area of middle TN. filled with small town charm,so we love taking our girls to see all the lights in downtown Franklin. Like you, I’ve always dreamed of experiencing Christmas in New York with the Rockette’s.
I really want to go to Radio City Music Hall. It looks like such an amazing and magical dream.
I Hope one day to take my kids here, it is nothing short of beautiful, thank you for sharing and reminding me of my ‘bucket list’ for the holidays::))
Everything looks wonderful! I totally love musicals. Thank you so much for sharing ^_^
How amazing. Such a wonderful experience. Your kids really enjoyed themselves.
So lucky! What a wonderful experience. I have always wanted to go to Radio City Music Hall.
Oh you guys are so lucky! I have always wanted to see the Rockettes but this time of year it is so difficult to get to NYC. Keep enjoying for me!
How fun! For sure something I’d love to do! Not much happens around here. A parade and that’s about it’
You are so lucky! I’d love to visit New York during the holiday season. I’m sure it would be magical!
Like you I am a New Yorker. I haven’t been to Radio City Music Hall in ages!! What really defines the holiday season for me is going to Rockefeller Plaza at night and seeing the magnificent tree all lit up!
Would love to see that show, I bet it is spectacular! What a lovely memory for your family!
As a former New Yorker, this makes me so nostalgic. The Rockettes are such icons, and what an experience to go behind the scenes!
I lived in New York for years and never saw their show. Maybe one day I’ll take my daughter.
Such an amazing experience! IT’s on my bucket list to go!
We would love to visit NYC during the holiday season. I imagine NYC it just beautiful. There is nothing too iconic around where we live but we do love to see the lights every year in a few of the neighborhoods that really go all out.
Such a great experience and it looks like you and family had a lot of fun.
Xmas in the Park is iconic for San Jose, California! I love being able to stroll through all the individually decorated trees 🙂
So fun that you got to go. Did you meet Monica (Marino)? I saw she was there with her little ones too. 🙂 This looks like a great event!
we have a great holiday lights drive thru near us, we love to visit that every year.
I would love for my family to experience this. I always enjoy seeing them in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Oh wow what an amazing sounding experience, I can’t think of anything overly that says Christmas is here – the German market is always amazing so perhaps that but it’s on for weeks so it’s very easy to get to see 🙂 x
How fun all these!. Really an amazing experience. Sounds like such an amazing and magical dream. I am planning for a family trip to visit New york during this holiday season. I’ve never visited this Radio City Music Hall before. Eagerly waiting to visit this place.
