when does the new york christmas tree go up

The famous Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree in New York City is typically erected in early to mid-November, and then decorated and illuminated with lights in the weeks leading up to Christmas. The tree is typically a Norway spruce, and is chosen from a variety of trees that are submitted from all over the United States. The tree is then carefully transported to Rockefeller Center, where it is placed in its designated spot and decorated with thousands of lights and ornaments.
