The annual Christmas tree lighting tradition in Rockefeller Center began in 1931 when laborers pooled funds to buy a tree, creating festive joy and community spirit.
This year's tree, a 74-foot Norway Spruce, was donated by the Albert family in memory of Leslie Albert, honoring her legacy and their emotional connection to the past.
With 50,000 multicolor LED lights and a Swarovski star designed by Daniel Libeskind, the tree lighting promises a stunning visual spectacle for viewers.
The televised special 'Christmas in Rockefeller Center' features performances like those from the Radio City Rockettes, marking a festive celebration watched by audiences nationwide.
