NEW YORK (PIX11) – The tree that will be used as the 2024 Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree in New York City has been selected.
A Norway Spruce from West Stockbridge, Massachusetts, was revealed on Monday as this year’s Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree.
It’s the first time since 1959 that a tree from Massachusetts is being used for the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree.
The tree will be cut down on Nov. 7 and arrive at Rockefeller Center in Manhattan on Nov. 9.
It will be wrapped with more than 50,000 multi-colored lights and crowned with a Swarovski star.
The Christmas tree will be lit during the live TV broadcast on Dec. 4.
The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree will remain on display until the middle of January.
