The 2023 Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree has arrived in NYC

Let the holidays begin! The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree has arrived in NYC.

On Saturday, the 80-foot-tall Norway Spruce was trucked in from Vestal, New York—over three hours away—and erected in the plaza.

Once standing tall, crews covered the tree with scaffolding so they could begin to decorate it with over 50,000 multicolored LED lights (5 miles worth!) and a 900-pound Swarovski star.

The lighting will take place on the night of Wednesday, November 29.
