NYCity.Christmas

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.

Context with intent

Appear beside a route, calendar, family activity, dining tool, or booking decision.

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

Connect an official restaurant booking route with a nearby show, lights walk, or event.

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.

Campaign inquiry

Ask for a scoped proposal.

Choose packages above and send the business details needed for a fit and availability review. This does not charge a card, reserve inventory, or approve a campaign.

  1. 1We review the business, destination, claims, timing, and family-safety fit.
  2. 2A proposal names the exact dates, placements, creative work, reporting, and final price.
  3. 3Both sides approve the written scope before invoicing, production, or public placement.
  4. 4The campaign launches only after links, assets, labels, and fulfillment routes pass review.
Privacy boundaryThis form collects adult business contact and campaign-planning details only. Do not include children’s names, letters, family photos, or private family information.

Custom recommendation requested

Sending creates a private owner-review record. It does not create a public listing, place an advertisement, confirm availability, or start payment.

Planning terms

Every campaign starts with a written scope.

Launch rates are planning offers for 2026. Availability, placement, category conflicts, creative production, analytics, taxes, payment schedule, cancellation terms, and partner fulfillment are confirmed in the final agreement. Ordinary editorial listings remain available separately.
