DISCOVER THE ESSENCE OF CHRISTMAS MAGIC

Step inside THE CANDY COTTAGE OF CHRISTMAS MAGIC and experience an intimate immersive wonderland of theatrical confectionery, where guests are invited to discover the essence of Christmas magic. As part of the sugary fun, then step outside for a memory-making holiday scavenger hunt around Rockefeller Center and find the ingredients of your own Christmas magic!

Just a hop-skip-and-a-gumdrop from the world-famous ice-skating rink and iconic Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Center in the heart of Manhattan, the cozy CANDY COTTAGE OF CHRISTMAS MAGIC invites guests to explore its shelves of enchanting sweets and entertaining treats as the first stop of a jaw-dropping journey, including a holiday scavenger hunt around the storied Rockefeller Center, that ensures mouth-watering moments and the chance to make the very sweetest of holiday memories all season.

Immerse into a swirling sugar rush fantasy unlike any other

THE CANDY COTTAGE OF CHRISTMAS MAGIC, discovered many, many years ago nestled inside the trunk of a Christmas Tree, has a sweet and storied mythology. Its sole purpose is to help guests find their own Christmas magic, unique to each person’s particular taste. 

Over the years, the cottage has been flooded with magical sugar pouring in at its seams; the only way to save the cottage from decay is for the cottage workers to take the sugar, magically turn it into edible candy, and give it to all who enter. Each holiday season, people travel far and wide to delight in the cottage’s magic, and they leave feeling the holiday spirit at its sweetest, eager to share their festive finds and feelings with everyone they meet.

As the first stop on the sugary adventure, guests of all-ages enter THE CANDY COTTAGE OF CHRISTMAS MAGIC and get their fill of delicious discoveries inside the cozy cottage. The story then takes them on a memory-making magical holiday hunt only possible at Rockefeller Center, where kids and kids-at-heart alike connect with the childhood joys of Christmas across the storied New York landmark campus. The Christmas cheer is topped off back inside the cottage in a truly enchanting memory-making moment that wonderfully wraps the most perfect way to experience NYC this holiday season.
