Dior’s Carousel of Dreams is the 2023 Saks Holiday Light Show in New York City. It features a carousel with signs of the zodiac, intricate details and stunning designs on the Saks flagship store on Fifth Avenue, making it a mesmerizing way to ring in the holiday season. I love to catch the holiday light show every year, and the collaboration with Dior is lighting the Saks 10 storey façade up magically in 2023.
The Saks Fifth Avenue Holiday Light Show is a beloved New York tradition that is big draw for New Yorkers and tourists alike. It is a free event that can be experienced outside the Saks Fifth Avenue store, and the collaboration with Dior has brought in a fresh perspective to the light show.

Dior’s Carousel of Dreams at Saks Fifth Avenue is the annual 2023 Saks holiday light show. This year, the collaboration between Dior and Saks Fifth Avenue transforms the 10-story facade of Saks’ New York flagship into a magnificent display that is dazzling visitors every evening, rain or shine. The display is inspired by the Dior cruise 2024 collection, and features intricate botanical icons and an flowers surrounding a magnificent celestial tableau adorned with Dior House codes such as the star, the clover, and the signs of the Zodiac. At night, the facade is illuminated by a dazzling light show experience which includes nearly 300,000 LED lights set to music.
The event was unveiled on November 20, 2023, and will run until January 5, 2024. It starts at 4:35pm every evening, runs for a little over 3 minutes, and can be seen every 10 minutes.
Saks Holiday Windows
The 2023 Saks Holiday Windows are each a masterpiece. There is one that reflects the carousel on the Saks flagship building, with construction cones being shown in front as is the norm on the streets of New York.
The two corners of the Saks building on Fifth Avenue feature amazing carousels, one of which features bottles of perfumes as the horses.
The other windows all pay tribute to New York City landmarks and skyline, each of which were amazing to see.
The Collaboration between Dior and Saks
The collaboration between Dior and Saks Fifth Avenue is a brand partnership that has brought together two of the most iconic names in the fashion industry. The partnership goes beyond the light display, and extends to the holiday windows at the Saks Fifth Avenue flagship store in NYC, and a Dior pop up on the Saks website, which is the first time that Dior merchandize is available online anyplace other than the Dior website.
