The iconic Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, a holiday tradition since 1931, has been selected and is now on its way to New York City. Each year, a different community donates the tree, which is then lit in a ceremonial event drawing millions of spectators. This year’s tree will undergo preparations before standing as the centerpiece of the city’s festive displays. The annual tradition blends local pride with the glamour of Manhattan’s most famous holiday landmark.
