when does the rockefeller center christmas tree come down

The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree typically stays up until mid-January, giving people plenty of time to enjoy its beauty and celebrate the holiday season. The tree is taken down on a date determined by the Rockefeller Center management, but it is usually in the first week of January. The tree is then donated to Habitat for Humanity or other charitable organizations to be recycled into lumber for building materials. The lighting ceremony, which takes place in November, marks the beginning of the Christmas season at Rockefeller Center.
