Rockefeller Center revealed today that this year's Christmas tree will come from East Greenbush, New York - just outside Albany.

The Norway spruce will be cut on Thursday, Nov. 6, and arrive in New York City on Saturday, Nov. 8.

After being wrapped with more than 50,000 multi-colored, energy-efficient LED lights and topped with a Swarovski star, the tree will be lit during the live broadcast of "Christmas in Rockefeller Center" on Wednesday, Dec. 3.

The tree will remain on display until mid-January 2026. After the season, it will be milled into lumber for Habitat for Humanity.
