The 2022 Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree
The Rockefeller Center Christmas tree is a New York holiday tradition. It arrives in mid-November, lights up towards the end of the month and stays until the first week of January.
In a way, the tree represents the spirit of New York. The tradition began during a difficult time, the Great Depression of the 1930s. It was started by the workers, by the people. It was their tree. In good times and bad, the tree continues to climb. Today, it is “our” tree. Good times or bad, New Yorkers carry on.
