Artist Transforms Downtown Into a Magical “Winter Wonderland” in Our New Holiday Video

The holiday season has finally arrived, and to share our season’s greetings, we at the Alliance have released “Winter Wonderland,” a gorgeous video showcasing Lower Manhattan at its wintry best.

Award-winning Italian artist Stefano Bertelli used original folded paper models animated with a whimsical stop-motion technique to recreate downtown landmarks, set to Ellla Fitzgerald’s classic version of “Winter Wonderland,” See what you can spot in the two-minute video below — so far, we’ve clocked the Oculus, the Charging Bull, PAC NYC, the Brooklyn Bridge and Delmonico’s, just to name a few.

You can catch “Winter Wonderland” on Taxi TV, or watch on YouTube here. Happy holidays!
