We just came back on Sunday. I would take a walk up 5th Ave and see all of the window displays, but it can get quite crowded in spots. Our favorite "Christmasy" thing may have been the ice skating at Wollman Rink in Central Park. That was way more fun than I expected. The line and crowds at the Rockefeller rink were crazy, but it was cool to go see it.

I was in NY for Christmas last year. Stayed in Gramercy Park.
The good thing is there are plenty of places open on Christmas day due in part to the large Jewish population in the city.
I would steer clear of going to see the Christmas tree unless it's at off hours - it's a cluster and frankly it's just a big tree.

There is a smaller rink & a nice outdoor market in Bryant Park (directly behind the big NY Public Library on 5th Ave). Here's a link, 150+ vendors: LINK
There are a few food vendors directly in Bryant Park, but I like Eric Kayser, just across the street, for breakfast pastries or a quick lunch. Takeaway or eat in. Best pistachio financiers on earth.
The Cloisters (medieval branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, way up in Ft Tryon Park, decorates for Christmas in the medieval fashion. It's a cool place, and the park has a nice view of the Palisades across the river.

The interior of Rolf's has the most ridiculous Christmas decorations you'll see. Something most females would love to see and you can just walk in and out if you so desire.

We are going Dec 23rd-27th. I'll watch this thread until then. We got the boys(ages 16 & 20) tickets to the Knicks/76ers game on Christmas day. Wife and I will probably catch a show while they are at the game.
Our to-do list includes 9/11 museum, Brooklyn bridge, Top of the Rock, Rockettes, Central Park, Bryant Park. We plan on doing a lot of walking, some friends of ours just went, they averaged 6 miles a day.
