All About American Christmas in Mount Vernon!

The holidays wouldn’t be complete without special trips to see the twinkling lights and dazzling iconic displays in New York City!

Highlights include Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, Macy’s, and even the glitzy Cartier, Saks, and Harry Winston locations. But did you know that American Christmas, located closer to home here in Mount Vernon, actually creates all of these displays?

Hold onto your elf hats because you can see their biggest extravaganza on November 1st at their festive hub right here at 30 Warren Place in Mt. Vernon.

It promises all of the glitz and cheer of fabulous NYC, but with a shorter commute. And the best part? All net profits go to local non-profits!  That means incredible organizations like The Mount Vernon Boys & Girls Club, Northeast STEM Starter Academy of Mt. Vernon, and Youth Community Outreach Program of Mount Vernon will all benefit. “Christmas is the most magical time of the year, and we are thrilled to be able to offer a one-of-a-kind experience with this year’s ‘Holiday Lane at American Christmas’ that is not only fun for all ages but also provides us with a great way to support our community through the donation of ticket sales to three important local organizations,” says Dan Casterella, American Christmas Chief Executive Officer.

Holiday Lane will open on November 1 and remain open through December 22. Tickets for the Christmas Experience are available here.
