At the end of November, with a little help from Idina Menzel (a.k.a. Elsa), Saks Fifth Avenue unveiled their holiday window display — a piece of synergistic beauty with Disney, celebrating Frozen 2.
The display, according to a press release, depicts Elsa and Anna’s "extraordinary journey to discover truths about their past while encountering the four spirits of nature"—earth, wind, fire, and water. And some powerful twinkly lights. You'll also spot Olaf, Kristoff, and Sven "throughout the [window] vignettes as they champion the sisters along the way.”
They've also been offering a more immersive experience on their 9th floor, a 35-minute "Enchanted Forest Experience," but that sold out pretty fast. No matter, the big show is outside through January 2nd, and as are many of the best things in life, it's free. Aside from the window displays, the flashy, 10-story light show taking over the entire facade of the building has been dazzling crowds (thanks in part to those Rockefeller Center pedestrian zones).
Wait for it...
As Olaf once said, "Winter's a good time to stay in and cuddle," so if you don't venture out to see these IRL, click through up top for a closer look... but first, look at this pure chaos from above:
