It\u2019s the tree. A symbol of the season, a backdrop to movies, and an annual tradition that\u2019s been lighting up midtown Manhattan since the 1930s.<\/p>\n<h3> It\u2019s Giant, Glorious &amp; Real: <\/h3>\n<p>We&#8217;re talking about an 80+ foot tall Norway Spruce decked out with more than 50,000 LED lights. It\u2019s topped with a 900-pound Swarovski star because\u2014go big or go home, right?<\/p>\n<h3>Famous for a Reason:<\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019ve seen it in everything from Home Alone 2 to Elf. Standing in front of it during the holidays feels like walking into a movie scene.<\/p>\n<h3>A New York Holiday Essential:<\/h3>\n<p>Even locals stop by every year.

On Christmas Day, it&#8217;s lit for a full 24 hours!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What to Do Around the Tree<\/h2>\n<p>Sure, the tree is the headliner\u2014but the entire Rockefeller Center area turns into a full-on holiday playground.
