The holiday season has officially kicked off in New York City with the arrival of the iconic Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. The tree, adorned with over 50,000 LED lights and a dazzling Swarovski star, will be lit up to welcome the festive season.
Traditionally, the tree is a symbol of holiday cheer, drawing thousands of visitors to the Rockefeller Center plaza each year. The event is organized by the Rockefeller Center’s management team, who have also announced plans for various seasonal activities, including ice skating and holiday markets.
Mayor Eric Adams welcomed the tree’s arrival, stating that it brings a sense of unity and joy to the city during the holiday season. The lighting ceremony is usually held on the first Saturday of December and is a highly anticipated event for both residents and tourists alike.
