Saks Fifth Ave.

Saks Fifth Avenue unveiled their windows with a live performance by The Rockettes and of course fireworks off the top of the building. This year's theme: An Enchanted Experience, as depicted in the style of Art Deco. The front of the store also includes animated windows that tell childhood fairytales.

The one-word holiday theme for the 2014 holiday windows: Inspired. Each window display is based on a different art form, from literature to theatre, music to dance. Every finely crafted window tells its very own tale of art and inspiration.

Barney's New York

The Barney's New York Holiday Windows are so much more than window displays, they are alive! For six weeks during the holiday season performances take place in both the windows and from the Juliet balconies high above Madison Avenue. This artistic and stylish holiday production is in collaboration with the brilliant mind of director Baz Luhrmann. The windows are appropriately titled "Baz Dazzled." Each window has its own theme: Truth comes in the form of an 8-foot tall mechanical owl designed by Chris Cole. Beauty in the form of hand-made kinetic sculptures, reminiscent of fairytale snowflakes. Freedom is demonstrated through Celestina, an ice princess imprisoned in a small ice cave for all eternity, dancing on ice while dreaming of freedom. And last, and most of all! Love in the form of gigantic rainbow chrome (slightly psychedelic) mushrooms and a 14-foot bedazzled boombox, where you'll find Elphresh break dancing in his mystical forest of looooove.
