My pants are always a little tighter this time of year. It’s a holiday cliché to eat too many sweets, cookies, and candies. Bergdorf Goodman, the swankiest luxury department store in New York City, always has my favorite holiday window displays. This year, they indulge our eyes being bigger than our stomachs! Gorge myself on these sweet, sweet windows, and maybe I’ll be able to resist the peppermint bark co-workers keep hawking at the office? (Hahaha yeah right.)

This window was obviously inspired by a Charlie Brown Christmas and the possibility that Peppermint Patty grew up to be a fashion model. 

“Bergdorf Goodies” is the official title of their 2018 holiday display.

There is a LOT going on in this window, with so many colorful sweets that my teeth hurt just from looking. But I only have eyes for the macarons- my well-documented favorites.

Licorice! Who would expect a window dedicated such an old-fashioned, controversial candy in 2018?

Licorice, controversial because so many people absolutely hate it, makes for a striking black and white window! I confess, I actually enjoy a good soft licorice. It’s the kind of sweet you either love or hate and I’m glad that would have scared a lesser store away from including it.

Here’s a crowd pleaser: Chocolate

The attention to details in all of these windows is mind boggling.

Ice Cream: A dazzling, monochrome holiday display

I scream, you scream, we all scream- because the kids looking at this Bergdorf Goodman ice cream are so picture-perfect adorable!

But wait! There’s more! This display truly makes me wonder if the witch from Hansel and Gretel moved to NYC…

GINGERBREAD!

I can’t even remember the last time I made a gingerbread house but this window brought back some serious nostalgia.

Also, how incredible is that coat? Bergdorf Goodman holiday windows always highlight their incredible couture. So many shops don’t even attempt this anymore, but Bergdorf succeeds seamlessly. And leaves so many of us staring longingly from the sidewalk, wondering how many rent payments a lollipop-rainbow-sequin suit would actually cost…

Excuse me while I drool all over 5th Avenue.

Hurry up and take a peak at these stunning Bergdorf Goodman Holiday windows…before they disappear after the New Year, like cotton candy when it hits your tongue. Cue the cotton candy window: 

What do you think of Bergdorf Goodman’s holiday windows for 2018? What’s your favorite? Is there a NYC shop whose windows you prefer that I should run to while it’s still the holiday season?
