The 2025 Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting ceremony will return this week to continue New York City’s annual holiday tradition.

The approximately 75-year-old tree is already decked out and ready to serve as the city’s iconic symbol of the season this year. It features 50,000 lights and a 900-pound star filled with 3 million Swarovski crystals.
