Festive strolls, easy winter fun, and at least one moment of calm (we’ll take it).
Nyack in December is charming in that “Hallmark movie… but with more parking decisions” way. Here are options that keep it fun for the kids and still leave space for you and your spouse to enjoy the vibe.
1) Nyack Holiday Village (Built-in holiday programming + family-friendly energy)
Program details + ongoing updates for Holiday Village 2025 (including kid activities and supervised drop-off options).
Why we love it: It’s the rare setup where the kids are entertained and you can actually breathe—maybe even shop or grab a bite like you’re on a date.
2) Palisades Center Ice Rink (Classic winter energy)
Palisades Center, West Nyack, NY 10994.
Why we love it: Skating is instant holiday mood. Also, watching your kids get brave on the ice is weirdly heartwarming (and slightly terrifying).
3) Nyack’s Holiday Events Guide (Pick-and-choose your own adventure)
Nyack’s official holiday guide highlights dozens of community happenings across the season.
Why we love it: You don’t have to invent fun. You just pick from a menu, like holiday tapas.
Closing cozy note:
The best Nyack nights aren’t the “biggest” nights—they’re the ones where everyone’s bundled up, the kids are smiling, and you and your spouse get that little spark of “we still know how to have fun.” Add cocoa. Always add cocoa.
