Rockefeller Centre Christmas tree lighting

As December approaches, New York gears up for a sparkling spectacle. Mark a big star on your calendar for November 29 because the 91st Rockefeller Centre Tree Lighting will bring you festive vibes. The towering Norway spruce, as seen, is adorned with over 50,000 multicoloured LED lights and topped with a Swarovski crystal star. Just wait until the giant tree—up to 30 metres high—is illuminated; it is a full-blown extravaganza with musical performances and celebrity sightings.
