Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree: The tree is standing tall, all lit up and available for viewing until January 7th, 2017.

The tree has been a tradition since 1931, bringing the city together to celebrate the holidays. You will find the tree at Rockefeller Center and while your there we suggest heading over to the ice rink so see how your skating skills match up!
