History
Fifth Avenue’s holiday windows became a retail tradition in the early 20th century as stores used electric lighting and theatrical displays to attract shoppers during the holiday season.
Conservation
Large holiday installations use significant materials and lighting—support displays by keeping sidewalks litter-free and choosing public transit when possible to reduce local traffic congestion.
