TopView recently announced its Christmas Lights NYC bus tour — just in time for family travel to the Big Apple for the holidays. Board the North Pole Express for a trip that includes storytelling, seasonal lighting and gifting surprises.

 

Begin your journey with hot chocolate and cookies while elves share Christmas stories. The bus tour travels through New York City to more than 10 holiday light displays, like the Saks Fifth Avenue Holiday Light Show, Rockefeller Christmas tree, Radio City Music Hall, the Cartier Holiday Lights and Bryant Park Winter Village. Passengers can join in the fun by singing carols, spending time with Santa, writing Christmas lists and more. For the open-air Upper Deck, Christmas hats and winter blankets will be provided for kids, who are also encouraged to wear pajamas and coats.

 

Meet the North Pole Express at New York Public Library. Two package options are on offer. The Standard includes a 45-minute trip on a 4-mile route, while the Enhanced package lasts about one hour and 15 minutes. The North Pole Express runs Nov. 12–Jan. 1, 2023.

 

Other Christmas activities from TopView include a Christmas brunch cruise, a Kids Christmas Cruise, a #SantaSlay party and more.
