It's the final weekend of 2012 which means the holidays (and the year!) are quickly coming to a close. It's your last chance to enjoy all of the holiday fun New York City has to offer like outrageous Christmas lights, department store holiday windows, twinkling trees and a slew of seasonal shows.

Even though Hanukkah and Christmas are behind us, Kwanza is just beginning, plus New Year's Eve and Three Kings Day are on the horizon. And if you need a break from all the celebrating, the Parks Department is running a nature scavenger hunt in Fort Tryon Park and the Staten Island Zoo is hosting a special dinosaur demo.

These are just a few of the great things going on this weekend. All of our weekend picks are below. You can find additional options in our Event Calendar and our Holiday Fun Guide. Happy (almost) New Year!
