In this Christmas classic film, an older man going by the name of Kris Kringle fills in for the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Kringle proves to be such a hit that he began making regular appearances at Macy’s in midtown Manhattan. When Kringle surprised customers and employees by claiming that he was the real Santa Claus, it led to a dramatic court case. Ultimately, the good-hearted attorney proves Kris Kringle is in fact Santa Claus and Christmas is saved!

This tree includes 2 round-trip tickets provided by Alaska Airlines where the winning bidder can travel to where this holiday favorite takes place: New York City! While away on vacation, stop by Macy’s Herald Square on 34th Street and use the included gift card to treat yourself to a shopping trip at the very department store where the movie was filmed.

In addition to round-trip airfare (which departs from and travels to any location within the United States served by Alaska Airlines) and the Macy’s gift card (which can be used at any Macy’s location or online), the Miracle on 34th Street tree also features a tour and tasting for four at Westward Whiskey’s distillery in Portland, Oregon, as well as a bottle of their award-winning Westward Whiskey Original and two Westward Whiskey Glencairn glasses to toast to the holiday season. To continue spreading Christmas cheer, this tree also includes a private and seated wine tasting for six at Bethel Heights Vineyard in the heart of Eola-Amity Hills, Oregon.
