The famous Rockefeller Center Christmas tree is not a purchasable item. It is an iconic symbol of the holiday season in New York City and has been a staple of the city's winter landscape since 1933. Each year, a new tree is selected from the surrounding area and displayed in Rockefeller Plaza, where it is decorated with thousands of lights and topped with a star. The selection process and transportation of the tree are typically handled by the Rockefeller Center management team, with the expense covered by sponsors and donors.
