The iconic Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center in New York City is indeed real. Every year, the center selects a beautiful evergreen tree, typically a Norway Spruce, to be displayed as the center of their holiday celebrations. The tree is then decorated with thousands of lights, ornaments, and a star at the top. The tree is an icon of the holiday season and a symbol of joy and festivity for the millions of people who visit it during the holiday season.
