Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting 2022

The holiday season will begin with the 90th annual tree lighting in the heart of New York City at Rockefeller Center on Wednesday, November 30.

Families across the US can view the Christmas tree lighting from home, live on the national broadcast “Christmas in Rockefeller Center” on NBC.

Once the tree is lit, families can visit (and maybe do some skating!) through January. The tree is displayed between West 49th and 50th streets and Fifth and Sixth Avenues.
