Just one night before the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree is lit for the season, New Yorkers are sharing their excitement for the holiday tradition. WNBC’s Marc Santia has some advice on the best spots to view the tree for the lighting ceremony and the days after.

The Christmas season again gets an unofficial kickoff with the star-studded tree lighting ceremony at Rockefeller Center in New York City. Kelly Clarkson, the 'American Idol' champ whose talk show is taped at 30 Rock, will return to host the ceremony and its television special, “Christmas in Rockefeller Center.” Clarkson first performed at the ceremony more than 20 years ago and marked the milestone with hosting duties last year.
