This year’s Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is officially on its way to NYC! The 74-foot-tall Norway Spruce was cut down on Nov. 7, 2024, from its home in West Stockbridge, Mass. The tree, which is about 70 years old and the first to come from Massachusetts since 1959, is set to arrive at Center Plaza on Saturday, Nov. 9. The tree lighting ceremony will be on Dec. 4, 2024.
