The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is an iconic symbol of the holiday season in New York City. Each year, a large evergreen tree is selected from a variety of species such as Norway Spruce, Douglas Fir, or Colorado Blue Spruce, and then carefully transported to Rockefeller Plaza, where it is decorated with hundreds of thousands of lights and ornaments. The tree is then illuminated on a special ceremony known as the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting, which is a beloved tradition that draws thousands of visitors from around the world.
