A Holiday Tradition Reimagined at Manhattan Mall
The Not-A-Normal Holiday Show Is Back—Bigger, Cooler, Unmissable.
New York in December is all about rituals—hot coffees, holiday lights, crowds, last-minute gift panics, and the thrill of stumbling on something uniquely you. But let’s be real: most holiday markets blur together. That’s why the return of the Not‑A‑Normal Holiday Show at Manhattan Mall feels different.
What Is It, Exactly?
This isn’t your typical craft fair in a church basement or a tent pop-up you forget 10 minutes later. This is a weekend long retail event featuring 300+ independent vendors, spanning vintage, handmade, small-batch fashion, beauty, furniture, jewelry, art, wellness, décor, and more. It transforms the familiar mall experience many of us grew up with into something built for the now—exploring, discovering, connecting, and shopping in a way that finally feels personal again.
First Weekend Details (Where You’ll Find Me)
I’ll be there December 5, 6, and 7, which marks the first weekend of the show’s public days. If you’re going early, know this: kids under 12 roll in for free, but for the rest of us, tickets are locked and final once you snag them.
VIP Preview Night
Friday December 5 | 6:00 – 9:00 PM
That’s exclusive first-access shopping, curated vibes, and limited capacity. The smart move?

Final Thoughts
New York doesn’t really need another holiday show unless it delivers something genuinely worth stepping out for. The Not‑A‑Normal Holiday Show does exactly that—reinventing a landmark mall space into a cultural holiday marketplace with legitimate scale and personality.
So, whether you’re hunting for self-expression through vintage denim or a handmade piece of jewelry, chances are you’ll find something that hits differently.
I’ll be there the first weekend.
See you at the Manhattan mall!
