Rockefeller Center's annual Christmas tree lighting, set for Nov. 29, promises a dazzling start to the holiday season. The 12-ton Norway spruce, adorned with over 50,000 lights and a 900-pound Swarovski crystal star, takes center stage. Viewers worldwide can catch performances by Cher, Barry Manilow, and more on NBC or streaming platforms. After Jan. 13, the tree will be donated for repurposing. Traffic changes around Rockefeller Center ensure pedestrian-friendly access during this festive period.
