This year, the glamorous streets of New York sparkle with Lights, Camera, Christmas, becoming Santa’s own magical movie land. Adorned with interactive movie sets, you can step into a hot air balloon at Up! Up! And Away With Christmas and encounter eclectic characters such as Candy Air- Heart, the courageous Christmas treasure hunter who travels the world in her colourful aircraft in search of rare Christmas artifacts. Round the corner is the movie set of A Topsy Turvy Christmas with the unconventional upturned house of Mr Tinsel Turvy, an eccentric yet lovable personality who sees Christmas from a different angle – upside down!
If all the photo-taking and meet-and-greets have left you famished, cool down with a Sesame Street Ice Cream Sandwich, which comes in vanilla, strawberry and chocolate flavours, and Cookie Monster Slushie at the Me Want Cookie cart.
