Barney's NY: Barney's flagship at 61st Street and Madison Avenue has cooked up a new combination. "We decided it was time food and fashion came together," Barney's creative director Simon Doonan tells Style List. "Our customers are immersed in the foodie culture and not into Kim Kardashian or Lindsay Lohan. These are the new rock stars and they're accomplished, talented people."

Henri Bendel's NY: Specialty retailer Henri Bendel, at 56th Street and Fifth Avenue, decorates the windows and also its four-story atrium. Working the chosen "Nutcracker" theme, the atrium sparkles with twinkling ballerinas and sparkling Swarovski chandeliers. "It's a very New York story," Gilberto Santana, Bendel's visual director, tells StyleList. "Seeing 'The Nutcracker' during the holidays is a tradition, like visiting our store is. It was the perfect marriage."

Blooming-dale's NY: The 59th and Lex shopping mecca hits close to our hearts with its holiday theme. "Happy, merry, peace and love are the words of the season that we hold dear," explains Jack Hruska, executive vice president of creative services. "We knew we wanted to create a series of different trees made of multiple-sized video screens, so the trees would decorate themselves," he told StyleList. This winter wonderland was created with almost 100 television screens ranging in size from 55 to 32 inches.

Lord & Taylor NY: This Fifth Avenue landmark chose "Share the Joy" as its seasonal theme, and shared the process with 12 lucky customers, chosen from hundreds who submitted holiday memories and stories. "The response was overwhelming," Scott Devine, vice president of visual merchandising, tells StyleList. "We received humorous, nostalgic and heartwarming stories of family gatherings, childhood memories and traditions passed from generation to generation." Each of the 12 chosen anecdotes inspired a window vignette that features the person's name and story. These scenes weigh up to 2,000 pounds and were created on a lower level and then lifted on hydraulics to street level, where over 120,000 people pass daily.

Saks Fifth Avenue NY: Directly opposite Rockefeller Center's Christmas tree, this iconic store's windows offer front-row seats to the holiday. This year's concept, "The Snowflake and the Bubble," consists mainly of a light show projected onto the store. "I wanted to do something different this year and I thought bubbles," Terron Schaefer, executive vice president and chief creative officer, tells StyleList. "Bubbles go up and they're symbols of festivity -- Champagne, the New Year, a new you. I wanted to map out snowflakes coming down and bubbles going the New Year, a new you. I wanted to map out snowflakes coming down and bubbles going up and what happens when they pass.

Macy's NY: Taking a traditional theme, "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus," the mega-retailer abounds with high-tech touches. "Each of our windows is a little theater," Macy's director of windows Paul Olszewski tells Style List. "All of them have a curtain with a reveal. There's lighting, voice-overs and animation that tell the scene, and when the curtain closes up, it's time to move to the next chapter." The production combines high-tech with handcrafting. The scenery is made entirely of paper. "We used 17,000 pieces of paper in 100 different colors," Olszewski says, "that were hand- and laser-cut. The artistry shows a new way of storytelling."
