"Fifth Avenue will sparkle again this holiday season. After pulling the plug in 2024 for the first time in two decades, Saks Fifth Avenue has confirmed it's reviving its world-famous holiday light show this November, restoring one of New York's most beloved free spectacles just in time for Christmas . The comeback was announced by Saks global president and chief commercial officer Emily Essner, who told reporters that the pause was purely a cost-cutting measure during a financially rocky year."
"For the uninitiated, the show projects thousands of synchronized lights across the building's façade in time with festive music, repeating every few minutes from early evening until 11 pm. The entire production is staged directly across from the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree , creating a Midtown mash-up of holiday traditions that draw both locals and tourists in shoulder-to-shoulder crowds. While exact dates haven't been published yet, Saks typically unveils its windows and kicks off the show with a star-studded ceremony in late November."
Saks Fifth Avenue is reviving its iconic holiday light show this November after a 2024 pause that marked the first cancellation in two decades. The nightly production will project thousands of synchronized lights across the building's façade timed to festive music, running every few minutes from early evening until 11 pm. The spectacle will be staged opposite the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, drawing large crowds of locals and tourists. The retailer kept its themed holiday windows during the 2024 pause, and both the windows and the music-driven light show will run together from late November into early January, with brief pauses on Christmas Eve and the tree-lighting night.
