As a native New Yorker, here's what you need to do when you're visiting the big apple during the holiday season. This is going to help you out so much, I promise.

1. Bundle up first and foremost from head to toe. Scarves and gloves are a must.

Trust me it's going to be cold and windy, especially if you're from the south or west coast.

2. Head up to Central Park.

It's so pretty all year round and there is so many different photo ops, places to sled and SNOWBALL FIGHTS!

3. Next hit up Times Square and Broadway.

Go see a show, and then hit up all the shops and you're golden.

4. The last stop should be THE Rockefeller Center.

There's nothing like ice skating under this gorgeous sight, especially with the one you love.

Also get yourself a peppermint mocha from Starbucks on the way and you should be set.
