This year's Rockefeller Center Christmas tree will be coming all the way from West Stockbridge, Massachusetts, to New York City, as announced by Rockefeller Center officials. The Norway spruce is set to be cut down on November 7 and will embark on a journey of approximately 140 miles (225 kilometers) southward, reaching midtown Manhattan on November 9.
The tree lighting ceremony, a beloved tradition, will take place during a live TV broadcast on December 4. The Rockefeller Center tree has been a symbol of holiday cheer in New York City since the 1930s, drawing crowds of visitors each year to marvel at its beauty.
This year's selection holds special significance as it marks the first time a tree from Massachusetts has been chosen since 1959, adding a unique touch to the annual festivities. The Rockefeller Center Christmas tree continues to be a beacon of joy and celebration, bringing communities together in the spirit of the season.
