Magical Sleepover Experience at FAO Schwarz

This Christmas, one lucky family will get the chance to spend a night at FAO Schwarz in New York City. The iconic toy store will open its doors exclusively for them to enjoy a festive sleepover like no other, complete with a shopping spree funded by Airbnb.

FAO Schwarz has captivated children worldwide since Tom Hanks danced on the illuminated keyboard in Big and Macaulay Culkin made his grand entrance in Home Alone 2. This holiday season, families have the chance to experience this beloved attraction first-hand.
