when do xmas decorations go up in nyc

In New York City, Christmas decorations typically start to go up in mid- to late November. The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is always the first major decoration to go up, with the lighting ceremony usually held in mid-November. Other decorations, such as lights and wreaths, typically start to appear on city streets, in parks, and in public places around the same time. The Christmas season officially starts when Santa Claus arrives at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, which takes place on the last Thursday of November.
