That festive cheer will complement the beautiful buoyancy of Grand Central Market over much of December. And we do mean "much," for visitors to the Broadway bastion of bites and beverages will find that a Holiday Wonderland has taken happy hold.
That sparkly stretch begins on Dec. 3 and concludes on New Year's Eve, truly making this particular Holiday Wonderland a delight set to last for nearly the entirety of the month.

A Holiday Bazaar, happening most of the days of the run — do check the schedule before you go — will be full of intriguing gifts and goodies, while Santa-helmed meet & greets will bring that Kringle-style charm.
Pancake breakfasts presented by Get Caked, Painting & Vino pop-ups, photo moments deemed "Instagrammable," and The Very Best Cookie Workshop are all weaving with twinkle and tastiness throughout this flavorful festivity.
