An American tradition during the winter holidays is to light your Christmas tree. The lighting of the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center is a unique aspect of the holiday season.

It fosters comradery and produces lovely moments for New Yorkers and visitors alike. The Rockefeller Center has a long history of happiness, success, and prosperity as a part of the Christmas tradition.

Let's find out more about the Rockefeller Christmas tree lighting ceremony and how you can take part in this festive occasion.

When demolition workers at the Rockefeller Center building site pooled their resources to buy a Christmas tree in December 1931, the first installation of the Rockefeller Christmas tree had just begun. The men's families fashioned homemade garlands to adorn the 20-foot-tall Balsam fir.

This is regarded as the Rockefeller Christmas tree lighting's first unofficial setup. The Rockefeller Plaza didn't open with a 50-foot-tall tree designated as New Yorkers' holiday beacon until 1933. Since then, the Rockefeller tree has served as a traditional stable in an American tradition, and the skating rink opened in 1936.
