The Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Center in New York City is a famous holiday tradition that dates back to 1931. Each year, a towering Norway Spruce is selected from a different location and decorated with thousands of twinkling lights and a large star on top. The lighting of the tree is a highly anticipated event, typically taking place in early December and broadcasted live on television. The ceremony includes performances by popular musicians and celebrities, as well as a countdown to the moment when the tree is illuminated for the first time. Visitors from around the world flock to Rockefeller Center during the holiday season to admire the tree and take photos in front of it. The area is also decorated with festive decorations, including ice skating rinks and holiday markets. The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree has become an iconic symbol of the holiday season in New York City, representing joy, unity, and the spirit of giving.
