On a cool December afternoon in New York City, the holiday season is at its peak, and you can feel the energy in the air. As the sun goes down, it casts a golden hue over the busy streets, where holiday lights have been put up on the city's important landmarks.
There are a lot of people on the sidewalks, both locals and visitors. Their breath can be seen in the cold air, as they are all busy getting ready for the holidays.
The smell of roasted chestnuts fills the air and draws people to the street sellers who line the sidewalks. They sell everything from warm snacks to hot cocoa from carts that are decorated with bright lights and decorations. Families gather around, and the sound of children laughing fills the air as they enjoy sweets and hot drinks. The kids' cheeks are red with happiness.
