In my PJs with no toys to put together or meals to cook.

Nope to Paris, for me.p, though I love it in spring. It feels closed and private, with the tourist shut out of the season.
I’d rank some place like Nuremberg, Salzburg, or Strasbourg as best: cold but not freezing weather, outdoor Christmas markets full of gluhwein and sausages, lights and trees and decorations everywhere, convivial people gathering outdoors in public to celebrate, plus beautiful churches and music. Even if you know no one in a city with a vibrant market tradition, you will feel the spirit of the season, as people gather in public.
ETA: NYC is fun at the holidays, but once.....I don’t feel the need to repeat that experience.

We are in Rome this week and went for the pope's Christmas day address in st. Peter's square. It was quite impressive. Rome is our new favorite European city to visit in the off season.
I also love Paris, but haven't been there for Christmas. You could do Christmas in Rome, then NYE in Paris.

The Christmas in Alsace is amazing. All the lights, choirs, caroling, Christmas Markets. Wonderful times to be had. My girlfriends family is from Colmar, I've never seen anything like it. Strasbourg was amazing too. Even Mulhouse

I would say somewhere in Switzerland, but I've never been around that time. Always at home (luckily, so far) for Christmas.

i recommend the Plaza. You may get to Paris and decide to come back to NYC for Christmas Day if you forget something, although difficult it can be done. Watch out for the sticky bandits

was going to have to make this thread soon anywhere, going on a honeymoon next December. Lady friend and I want to hit the best towns for Christmas displays.

My family spent Christmas in Aspen a few years ago and it was incredible. Obviously that doesn't work with kids unless you want to drag all their presents with you.

Strasbourg on the France/Germany border.
Also, places around Zurich in the alps.
Paris im sure is charming as F as well, never been though.
