The Rockefeller Center tree is more than just a Christmas decoration, it’s a symbol of the holiday season. This tradition began in 1933 when workers put up a humble tree during the Great Depression that was decorated with handmade garlands.

Today, it’s a dazzling spectacle. Each year, a massive Norway spruce is chosen, usually standing at least 75 feet tall. The tree becomes the centerpiece of a globally televised lighting ceremony, decorated with tens of thousands of LED lights and topped with a breathtaking Swarovski crystal star.

Since 1923, the National Christmas Tree has graced the Ellipse near the White House. Unlike most holiday trees, this one is a living evergreen, replanted each year to represent continuity and growth.

Surrounding it are smaller trees, each representing a U.S. state or territory, decorated with handmade ornaments. The tree lighting ceremony is a cherished event, often featuring musical performances and a message of unity.
