Here's what New York subway trains looked like at Christmas in the 1930s, according to social media influencers

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. This holiday season, social media influencers are hopping aboard a vintage New York City subway train to travel back in time, taking to TikTok and Instagram to share their outfits and experiences.

If you are looking for something unique to do in New York over the holidays, this may be it: You too can ride the New York Transit Museum's Holiday Nostalgia Train, which operates annual holiday-themed train cars decorated for Christmas in the style of the 1930s.

The trains, which depart from the 2 Avenue - Houston Street station on the uptown F line and the 96 Street - 2 Avenue station on the Q line, run every Sunday in December. And the cost to ride is just a MetroCard swipe.

One user on TikTok posted scenes of festive New Yorkers, some in old wartime vintage suits and women dressed up in circa 1930s outfits, walking through the train cars alongside people in regular clothes. Another TikToker walked her followers through a makeup and clothing tutorial on how to dress for the big event. A third posted a short video of people dancing, a band, people taking photos, and the train's conductor.
