culture holiday traditions artists rockefeller center
Cultured magazine's holiday feature spotlights how New York's creative community—including artist Julia Chiang, chef Jess Shadbolt, and designer Todd Snyder—celebrates the season with personal, non-traditional traditions. Chiang and her children craft ornaments from felt and Sculpey clay; Shadbolt serves cheese fondue on Christmas Eve and offers it at her restaurant King; Snyder favors tartan ties and cashmere over typical holiday attire. The article ties these rituals to Rockefeller Center as the city's holiday hub, with shopping recommendations from FAO Schwarz, Anthropologie, and Jupiter.
