The world's most famous Christmas tree has finally been chosen.

The 2022 Rockefeller tree is a 90-year-old Spruce that comes in at 82 feet, 14 tons. The Lebowitz family donated the tree from their yard in Queensbury, New York.

The tree will arrive in New York City on November 12 to prepare for its big debut. It'll be wrapped in more than 50,000 multi-colored, energy-saving LED lights and topped with a star covered in 3 million Swarovski crystals.

Live Tree Lighting

The official tree lighting will take place during "Christmas in Rockefeller Center" on NBC on November 30. Or you can see the 90th Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree in person. It'll be on display between West 49th and 50th streets and Fifth and Sixth avenues. It'll be lit daily from 6 AM to 12 AM and 24 hours on Christmas Day. On New Year’s Eve, it will be lit from 6 AM to 9 PM.
