🎄✨ Dyker Heights Christmas Lights Tour NYC 2025 ✨🎅
Hosted by The New York Social Network
Experience one of New York City’s most famous holiday attractions — the Dyker Heights Christmas Lights in Brooklyn! Join fellow New York Social Network members and friends for an unforgettable evening exploring this dazzling winter wonderland filled with over-the-top Christmas decorations, glowing Santas, sleighs, and twinkling snowmen.
Every December, Dyker Heights transforms into a world-famous holiday destination with homes decorated in millions of lights, inflatables, and synchronized music. It’s one of the best Christmas light displays in NYC — and we’ll take you right into the heart of it.
🌟 How It Works
Meet-Up:
We’ll gather from 6:00–6:30 PM at The Playwright Irish Pub in Midtown Manhattan for socializing and drinks before the adventure begins.
Travel to Dyker Heights:
At around 6:30 PM, we’ll take the R train to 86th Street in Brooklyn (approximately 45 minutes). From there, it’s a short 15-minute walk to the spectacular lights.
Prefer to meet us in Brooklyn? You can meet the group directly at the 86th Street Station around 7:30 PM.
The Experience:
We’ll stroll through the neighborhood streets to take in the incredible light displays, festive music, and holiday cheer. Afterward, we’ll head to a local Brooklyn café for food, drinks, and great conversation.

🎄✨ A Very Merry Scandal: Holiday Mystery Party ✨🎄
The 1st Annual Christmas Cartoon Hall of Fame Gala & Mystery Party
Get ready for the most scandalously festive night of the season! The North Pole is rolling out the red (and green) carpet for all your favorite classic Christmas cartoon characters — from Rudolph and Frosty to the Grinch, Yukon Cornelius, and Charlie Brown — as they gather for the 1st Annual Christmas Cartoon Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.
It’s the ultimate holiday bash — complete with eggnog, gossip, and a touch of Christmas chaos! Characters are schmoozing, campaigning for their Hall of Fame nominations, and indulging in some inter-cartoon rivalries, rumored affairs, and frosty attitudes. But just as the festivities reach their peak, the unthinkable happens and it is up to you to help solve the mystery…
🎁 What to Expect
🎄 7:00 PM – Arrival & Check-In:

🍸 Mix, Mingle & Munch:
Grab a festive cocktail, order a bite to eat, and enjoy mingling with your fellow guests as anticipation builds. (Food and drinks are pay-as-you-go.)
🕵️‍♀️ The Party Begins:
Once everyone’s checked in, the party kicks off! You will become one of the characters in the story and get to interact with all the others! You’ll work your way through a web of clues, secrets, and scandal as you chat and interact with other partygoers to solve The Case.
⚠️ Please arrive on time — late arrivals can’t join the mystery once it begins (no refunds).
