Rockefeller Center in New York City will have a stunning 75-meter-tall fir tree as its Christmas tree this year, continuing a tradition that has been associated with the holiday season in the American metropolis for years.
The approximately 75-year-old fir was sourced from the West Edmeston area of New York State and will be transported to Rockefeller Center’s main plaza on November 7. Its arrival will mark the start of the Christmas season.

The official lighting ceremony is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, December 2.
The tree will be lit with more than 50,000 multicolored LED lights. The famous Swarovski star, designed in 2018 by architect Daniel Libeskind, will be placed at the top. The star weighs approximately 408 kilograms and consists of 70 rays covered with a total of three million crystals.
