"New York runs on tight schedules that even the city's most iconic tree isn't immune to. If you've been telling yourself you'll swing by Rockefeller Center one day soon, here's your final nudge: the famous Christmas tree comes down tomorrow, which makes today the very last day to catch it in all its twinkly glory. After anchoring Midtown's holiday season since early December, the Norway spruce from East Greenbush, New York, is officially clocking out."
"The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree has been doing its thing for nearly a century, and this year's version kept the tradition strong with more than 50,000 LED lights, an oversized Swarovski star on top and a steady stream of locals and visitors admiring it. Its removal always feels like the true end of the season-more final than finally recycling your own dried-out wreath."
Tonight is the final night the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree will remain lit before crews remove it tomorrow. The Norway spruce from East Greenbush, New York, anchored Midtown since early December and features more than 50,000 LED lights and an oversized Swarovski star. The tree stays lit tonight until 10 pm, and daytime visits offer thinner crowds and reopened barricades for better viewing. After removal the plaza will return to normal winter operations. The tree will be milled into lumber and donated to Habitat for Humanity, continuing a long-standing post-holiday tradition.
