The Rockefeller Center Christmas tree is probably the most famous part of Christmas in New York City. It all began in 1931 when construction workers at Rockefeller Center pooled their money and purchased a 20 foot tree. Two years later in 1933, the first formal tree lighting occurred with a 50 foot tree and 700 lights. During World War II, instead of one large tree, they opted for 3 smaller trees decorated with red, white and blue lights as a show of patriotism. The trees were not lit because of blackout requirements during World War II. Today, the trees range in height from 80 to 100 feet. They are decorated with about 50,000 lights and topped with a star made of Swarovski crystals.

Everyone has heard about the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. For the record, this year’s tree is an 80 foot tall Norway Spruce from Vestal, NY. While it may be the most famous in New York City it does not hold the distinction of being the tallest this year. That honor goes to the tree in front of the New York Stock Exchange, which this year is an 81 foot tall Norway spruce from Poughkeepsie,NY. Book a holiday lights tour and you can see both of these trees along with many other spectacular holiday decorations. Private tours can be booked 7 days a week.

There is beauty to be found in Central Park all year long and no less in the winter. With the leaves having fallen off most of the trees, it’s possible to capture pictures which you could not get during the summer months. With fewer visitors, the pathways are empty and serene. If you book a late afternoon tour, we’ll end at a point in the park where you can capture some spectacular sunset pictures (clouds permitting). Private tours are available 7 days a week.
