"Coney Island may have a reputation as a summer playground, but the famed Luna Park amusement park now also hosts a winter festival called Frost Fest during the chillier months that's among the best NYC Christmas markets. Back for its second year, Frost Fest kicks off right before Thanksgiving and includes a Santa’s Wonderland for photos with the big guy, tree lighting ceremony, and, naturally, access to the park’s 20-plus rides like the Coney Island Cyclone roller coaster. A holiday market rounds out the festivities, with vendors selling everything from stocking stuffers to classic wintertime drinks like hot chocolate and fresh apple cider."
