The Christmas tree in NYC is located in Rockefeller Center. It is a stunning 75-foot-tall Norway spruce that is adorned with over 50,000 multi-colored LED lights and topped with a 9.5-foot-wide Swarovski crystal star. The tree is illuminated each year on the evening of Thanksgiving and remains lit until January 2nd. It has become an iconic symbol of the holiday season in New York City.
