The 2025 Rockefeller Center Christmas tree will be cut down Thursday before it heads to the plaza.
The 2025 Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree will be cut down from East Greenbush on Nov. 6 before it travels roughly 130 miles to Manhattan. It will arrive in the plaza on Saturday, Nov. 8, and be hoisted into place.
After arriving on Center Plaza, more than 50,000 multi-colored LEDs will be strung over about 5 miles of wire to adorn the 2025 tree. It will then be crowned with a 9-foot, 900-pound Swarovski star covered in 3 million crystals.The tree lighting show is set to kick off at 7 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Dec. 3. You'll be able to watch NBC's"Christmas in Rockefeller Center" in a live broadcast on TV, on Peacock and wherever you stream NBC 4 New York.– Construction workers building Rockefeller Center put up a Christmas tree, the first-ever Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree.– First formal Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting Ceremony. The tree was decked with 700 lights in front of the eight-month-old RCA Building.– Two trees, each 70 feet tall, were erected. For the first time the Lighting Ceremony included a skating pageant on the newly opened Rockefeller Plaza Outdoor Ice Skating Pond.– Three trees were placed on Rockefeller Plaza, one decorated in red, one in white and one in blue to show support for our troops serving during World War II.– The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree was lit for the first time on national television on the Kate Smith Show.– The first tree from outside the United States was erected. It was given by Canada, in honor of the Centennial of its Confederation. This is the farthest distance a tree has traveled to Rockefeller Center.– For the 50th tree lighting, a 70-foot-tall Norway Spruce came from the grounds of the Immaculate Conception Seminary of Mahwah, N.J. Bob Hope participated in the lighting.– The largest tree in Rockefeller Center history, 100 feet tall, came from Killingworth, Connecticut.– For the first time, the tree was lit with energy-efficient LEDs. They draw a fraction of the power that had been traditionally required by the tree, reducing energy consumption from 3,510 kwH to 1,297 kwH per day, saving as much energy as a family would use in a month in a 2,000-square-foot home. Hundreds of solar panels atop one of the Rockefeller Center buildings help power the new LEDs.What happens to the Rockefeller Center tree after the Holidays?Disclosure: NBCUniversal is a long-term tenant of 30 Rockefeller Center.
