Hudson Hall is proud to announce the winners of the 2020 Winter Walk: The Hudson Safe Edition Window Decorating Contest. In an unprecedentedly challenging year for small business, Hudson’s signature creativity and community spirit has shined through in the beautiful window displays on show throughout December. Organized by Hudson Hall since 1997, this year’s Winter Walk takes place from December 5-24 with an aim to highlight local businesses and provide COVID-safe holiday joy to the community.  To mark the kick-off of Winter Walk this evening, many of Hudson’s unique stores are staying open until 8pm for socially-distanced, capacity-observed late night shopping.

The anonymous judges were given the incredibly difficult task of identifying the winners among the many stunning displays. While Hudson’s long-time favorites like Lilli and Loo went above and beyond again this year, the judges welcomed two new stores with the top accolades. The ‘Best of the Best’ prize is awarded to Warren Street newcomer, Poured Candle Bar, whose sumptuous, beautifully styled window wouldn’t be out of place on 5th Avenue. The judges also gave a special mention to the ‘Best Living Window’ winners The Quiet Botanist.
