There are many signs that the holiday season has begun: the first clear day of fall, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade where you swap iced coffee for hot coffee—and the list goes on. Always on this list, however, is the tree lighting at Rockefeller Center in New York City.
Here’s how to watch
Watch “The 91st Annual Christmas” at Rockefeller Center on Wednesday, November 29th at 8/7c on NBC and streaming on Peacock.
The annual event takes place in late November/early December and is always an exciting time. Of course, the tree itself is beautiful—an 80-foot-tall spruce decorated with more than 50,000 colorful lights and a Swarovski star at the top—but the evening is also packed with celebrities. So many A-listers are gathering at 30 Rock to ring in the holiday season, and the 2023 lineup is particularly fabulous. It even includes Cher. When the goddess of pop shows up, you know it’s a party.
