“Close Enough to Be Cozy” is the tagline for a new 30-second commercial, paired with a new webpage for winter getaways
Orange County, N.Y. (Nov. 13, 2026) — Orange County Tourism & Film has launched “Find Your Winter Escape,” a campaign inviting New York City visitors to slow down and spend a winter weekend in Orange County. The new 30-second commercial takes viewers from snowy trails to a spa and an evening with friends by the fire. Visitors can watch the spot and find ideas for their own getaway at pickocny.com/winter.
“Close enough to be cozy” is the tagline that caps the campaign’s promotional spot. It can be found on Orange County Tourism & Film’s new webpage, pickocny.com/winter. The ad urges viewers to slow down and enjoy the season, with images of pure white snow, a luxurious spa, friends gathered by a fire, snowshoeing, dining and shopping, contrasting these moments with glimpses of a cold, bleak New York City.
“Sometimes the best thing you can do is pick a different pace,” the spot’s narrator says.
The new webpage guides visitors to opportunities for ice skating, skiing or snow tubing and for local favorite places to hike. It also offers dining options and shopping opportunities from artisan shops to antiques to the Woodbury Common Premium Outlets destination retail center.
“Winter is a wonderful time to experience Orange County, especially for people craving a change of pace without having to travel far,” said Amanda Dana, Executive Director of Orange County Tourism & Film. “We're just an hour from New York City, but a world away.”
