The 2024 Rockefeller Center Christmas tree is set to arrive in New York City from West Stockbridge, Massachusetts, and the family donating it shares the story behind their special connection to the giant spruce. NBC’s Joe Fryer reports for TODAY.
This season's Rockefeller Christmas Tree has arrived in New York City and is just days away from illuminating Manhattan. On Wednesday, Dec. 4, all 50,000 multi-colored LED lights on the massive Norway spruce, which stands 74-feet tall and 43-feet wide, will be lit from Rockefeller Plaza in the annual holiday celebration.
What is the significance of the Rockefeller Christmas tree? The first Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center went up in December 1931, when the workers at the time decorated a 20-foot high balsam fir with their families, according to Rockefeller Center's website. The first tree lighting occurred in December 1933, and became an annual tradition from that point forward.
