See the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree

Nothing compares to the festive season in New York City. With decorations, twinkling lights, window coverings, and a palpable festive vibe, New York sparkles throughout the five boroughs. The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, a must-see for visitors to New York City, serves as the focal point of the city's holiday season.

The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree has served as a holiday symbol for residents and visitors of New York for more than eighty years. Even though the lights, decorations, and stars have changed over the years, seeing the tree is always a must-do New York activity. Rockefeller Center's largest tree, which stood 100 feet tall and was covered in 25,000 crystals in 1999, continues to set amazing height records each year and is a breathtaking sight to behold. The tree is proudly displayed over the equally well-known ice-skating rink around the end of November, around the time of Thanksgiving every year, drawing tens of thousands of tourists from all over the world.
