It’s time for the #holidays, #ItsTimeForNYC!⁠ ⁠ The @RockefellerCenter Christmas Tree lighting was last evening (Wednesday, November 30), making the Midtown #NYC skyline even more merry and bright.⁠ ⁠ This year’s tree is an 82-foot-tall Norway spruce from Queensbury, New York. It features more than 50,000 lights, 5 miles of electrical wire connecting them, and a Swarovski crystal star that weighs 900 pounds.⁠ ⁠ We hope you can visit the tree in person this year. If not, just let this reel loop and relive the moment again and again. 🎁⁠ ⁠ In this video: An emcee counts down, “5-4-3-2-1,” and the Rockefeller Center tree turns on. The tree stands before a tall skyscraper (30 Rockefeller Center) lit in blue. 📹: @akuban for @NYCgo⁠ ⁠ ⁠ 🌲➡️🎄⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #RockefellerCenter #Midtown #NYCholidays #NYCgoHolidays #NewYorkCity #ILoveNY
