when do they take down the rockefeller center christmas tree

The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is traditionally taken down in early January, after the holiday season has ended and the tree is no longer needed for its festive purpose. The exact date varies each year, but it is typically in the first week of January. The tree is then recycled into lumber for Habitat for Humanity's home-building programs, ensuring that its beauty and spirit are not lost, but instead, continue to be used for good.
