This has been a difficult year for many people and for many reasons. While people around the globe will be experiencing a different holiday season than ever before, there's no question that the magic of winter and the holidays is still alive and well.

Photos and videos of the Big Apple under a blanket of snow have been flooding the internet. 

Whether you have a case of wanderlust or you're in need of a little holiday happiness, these photos will bring a tear to your eye (in a good way).
