Context with intent
Appear beside a route, calendar, family activity, dining tool, or booking decision.
Advertise · sponsor · become a featured vendor
Build your custom holiday campaign.
Advertise on NewYorkCity.Christmas and NYCity.Christmas, two addresses for one shared holiday guide. Reach people while they choose what to do, where to eat, what to book, and how to make Christmas in New York feel special. Start with a focused placement or build a custom seasonal campaign.
Why the placement can matter
Meet customers at a decision point.
The strongest campaigns help a visitor complete the plan already in front of them. A restaurant can solve dinner after the lights. A Santa provider can answer a family or office booking need. An event can become the anchor for a full day.
Useful local fit
Show practical details such as neighborhood, dates, party size, service area, and official contact route.
More than a logo
Combine placement, useful copy, approved creative, and a destination designed around one outcome.
Defined reporting
Agree on inventory and the available aggregate delivery measures before the campaign starts.
2026 launch menu
Start small or own a larger moment.
Select one or more packages to create a working inquiry brief. “Build to launch” ideas require production and review before a campaign date is confirmed.

Family privacy stays private
Sponsors receive no child names, parent emails, letters, replies, photos, or individual family activity.
Editorial decisions stay independent
Payment cannot buy a false date, a favorable review, an unverified claim, or priority over a better factual answer.
Results match the tools in place
Proposals state exactly which aggregate measures are available. No audience, sales, booking, or reservation guarantee is implied.
Custom campaign studio
A good idea can become its own package.
A hotel could sponsor a “48 hours before Christmas” plan. A Broadway show could anchor dinner and a performance. A retailer could underwrite a family printable. A district could build a route across several businesses. Custom proposals define production, inventory, approvals, tracking, privacy, and fulfillment before any invoice.
Countdown or calendar ownership
A timed campaign around ticket release, opening week, holiday weekends, or final shopping days.
Neighborhood collection
Several compatible businesses share one useful route while each placement remains clearly labeled.
Book the whole evening

Sponsored family resource
Fund a printable, kindness activity, or parent resource without advertising inside a child’s letter.
Surprise-and-delight perk
Offer a small visitor benefit through a clearly explained redemption owned by the partner.
Launch or press moment
Coordinate a campaign page and approved media kit around a verified announcement or opening.
