The past several years, retailers focused on attracting shoppers back to stores, and holiday windows in 2023 were an avant-garde celebration of that return. Shoppers packed the sidewalks of New York (and the globe) ready to window shop once more, according to Tom Beebe, Creative Consultant, Stylist, Window Wizard. “Across the board, all the windows were filled with magic and details, details, details,” Beebe says. “The visual teams did not disappoint in creating the most wonderful time of the year.”
