Christmas tree arrives in 30 Rock ahead of lighting ceremony
NEW YORK CITY (NBC, KYMA) - The holiday season's most famous Christmas tree arrived in New York City Saturday morning.
A 75-foot Norway Spruce weighing 11 tons made an 150-mile journey to 30 Rockefeller Plaza, where it will soon be surrounded by scaffolding so crews can wrap it in 50,000 lights and top it with a 900-pound Swarovski star.
The tree was donated by the Russ family of East Greenbush, New York, where it stood on a generational family property for over 60 years.
A lighting ceremony will be held on December 3 and air on NBC and Peacock.
