Exploring NYC during the holiday season *as a local* | trying new activities

❤️

Your tour guide voiceover ! So fun & creative ! Ooooh what a magical Christmas outing. I LOVE New York

Your editing style is so cozy! I haven’t done as many Christmas things around the city this year as usual bc I’ve been so busy this month, but this is inspiring me to make time to go see some things this week! 🎄🤍

Fun fact: the holiday channel on my eternal TV on the fire stick has a live feed of the skating ring at Bryant Park. Whether or not it’s actually live… I don’t know lol but it’s fun to watch and I recognized it in this Vlog.

This is one of my favorite videos of yours that I have ever watched. Love it!!!!

This was so fun! My mom and stepdad are visiting New York during Christmas this year so I forwarded them your vid. I was already jealous of them and now even more so!

I love the concept of this video. I love our city at Christmas but hardly get to Manhattan anymore. Queens to Bronx only these days.

the second u put the stickle on ur lap, i was like "oh no, that aint stable" and then it happened.... RIP Stickle 2024 lol

i love the tour guide spin on it!

I tried a different market because it was easier those dumplings sounded good sorry about the spill over. Keeping warm is important I bet it's freezing for you thank you for showing us around. I would do the same inside and outside stuff intermittently so you can enjoy stuff and not freeze. The trains looked fun though not been to one of those in a while. I am an opera fan it would be one of the first things I would do visiting NYC. Then I would do a few plays no musicals though not my thing. I do free stuff a lot wherever I can like outdoor light shows and museums etc...I love a market or church craft sale as well. You ended vlogmas on a fun note thank you for that :) I hope you have a lovely Christmas with the family have a rest before you go :)

Thank you so much Chelsea you are really the greatest tour guide ever!!! I’ve always wanted to go to New York 🎄🤸🏽

Another great video. Happy Christmas. 🎄🎄🎄🎄

THE STICKLE!!

I would have cried if that was my stickle! 😮

So sad about the fried pickle, I literally shouted "NOOO" as if I were there with you LOL!

<3<3

Yo..yo..16.00 for four soup dumplings? Damn. Hope they were the best dumplings you ever had 😂

I loooove the voiceover tour guide!!! So amazing. Great video Chelsea

Lights at Lincoln center are usual. Go to the opera so worth it.

If you haven't been to dyker heights go! My fav NYC lights.

Are those Lululemon pants? I have the gray ones.

Have an awesome holiday. ❤

📢 ~ Love the full on amplified intro and continuation throughout the tour (🚌 ) clever & inspired ... 🗽 ❤ 🎄 ❤️ 🗽 ❤ 🎄 ❤️ 🗽

ur the best vlogger fr, so happy to be here, i love ur channel so much ❤

I am right in Christmas mood after watching this video! Thank you Chelsea, love your channel!

I loved the exit and everything looked delicious. and the lights were very pretty, you don't see that around here. Christmas traditions are different, but being able to see what you uploaded was great and makes me remember that Christmas of '97, my first trip to New York, I loved it, it's a trip and you brought me a beautiful memory, THANK YOU.

Chelsea you motivated my husband and me to visit the city this Christmas. We found Max Brenner hot chocolate at the Heritage market. So good. He loved it! We’re on our way to Bryant park now and I feel like I know the place because of you!!

Living your best life, and I love that for you! ❤❤ thanks for all the wonderful views of New York.

Crying at the stickle loss. Rip stickle. Tragic. 🪦🥒

Having Chelsea as our NYC tour guide is a 10/10 experience 👌 Love getting to "explore" the big city from the comfort of my teeny tiny home town! 🌆🎄

NOT THE STICKLE!!! 😭💀

Hi Chelsea. Loved your video and tour through New York. So pretty. They sure make a big effort to be festive unlike in my town. ❤❤❤❤

NAUURRR NOT THE STICKLE!! I was so hyped and I GASPED when it fell! I felt that pain! (Shout out to you cuz your videos always inspire me to live in NYC, it’s a dream of mine!) love all your vlogmas vids already!

I just came back from New York and you must’ve filmed this at 2 o’clock in the morning because all we did was fight crowds and people and stairs, but everybody in New York the locals were extremely nice. They get a bad rap you construction workers out there the cops all of you I’m telling you love love love New York at Christmas, but be prepared for walking stairs and people and if you’re not into that, you should just stay home and wrap presents, but I love you Chelsea. I watch you all the time you’re just so great and this is a great great video, but like I said, I didn’t see that site in New York but it is fun at Christmas time. I’ve been five times already hugs 2025, girl 2025. You’re doing a great job. I love your cats fur babies.

Great video! 💚❤

looks so fun!:)

Your presentation of this video is very endearing and I love it because it's fun to watch and I'm from Cleveland. Inspired to do a similar tour of my town maybe next year. We're cool too and who doesn't love A Christmas Story?

I am addicted to your videos! hahah.. I'm 66, born and raised in NYC but I moved out a long time ago. My last address was in Queens too. I was there for the blizzard of 96' it was my welcome home lol, again, after having left in 75. No heat....brrr.... I've long moved away, AGAIN, but once you're from NY, it's with you wherever you go! i now live in The Caribbean. Watching your videos brings me so much nostalgia, and gives me hope for this lovely generation. You are such a brilliant and lovely young lady, I pray that you will make all your dreams come true. You bring me memories of when I too was in my 30s and had a head full of dreams as well. They all did come true, though some dreams don't always happen as expected. But life is a joy to ride on, be blessed and push forward always. Happy Christmas!! xo PS thanks for the guided tour, thanks for taking me back home with you! <3 Sending much love and blessings to you in this New Year! X

I am in love with this video! The voiceover is so cozy.

I love the creativity of this video! You’re a great guide!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS VIRGO!! May this holiday exceed your expectations. By all means be SAFE!!!!!

Deepest sympathies on the loss of your stickle. 😢 Thanks for the lovely tour. Merry Christmas, and all good wishes for the New Year. 😊

Thanks for taking us out! You are so fun and I find joy knowing I'm not the only single lady who takes herself out on the town. Happy new year 🎊

I felt for you when that pickle went down. Can you take us to the Love Sculpture next? I've always wanted to see it in person

Great tour. Loved the voice over commentary. Felt like I was walking along right with you.

💖💖💖

Aww Chelsea this was so fun! I'm so happy you've leveld up your content so much- though I appreciate these fun tour guide videos and the ones when you're home and relaxing just as much :)

Oh my gosh! That was amazing I loved how you had the voice action going on. I visited NYC one time so this is incredible to see the places I visited so many years ago. Keep touring. I love it!!! Thank you for sharing!

Exploring NYC during the holiday season as a local sounds like the perfect way to soak in all the magic without the tourist crowds! The city really transforms with festive lights, cozy spots, and seasonal activities.

Trying new activities is the best way to make the most of it—whether it's checking out a hidden winter market, ice skating in Bryant Park, or discovering new cafes for hot chocolate.

What’s on your list of things to try this season? Are you into holiday window displays, seasonal pop-ups, or something off the beaten path?
