The famous Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is a beloved holiday icon in New York City, located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. The tree is a tradition that began in 1931, when workers building the Rockefeller Center decided to decorate a tree to celebrate the holiday season. Today, the tree stands over 70 feet tall and is lit with over 50,000 LED lights, making it a spectacular sight to behold. The tree can be found on Fifth Avenue between 49th and 50th Streets, and is an ideal destination for tourists and locals alike during the holiday season.
