America’s most famous Christmas tree will shine bright tonight!

The Rockefeller Center Tree in New York will light up for the season around 9 p.m.

This year’s tree is a 75-year-old, Norway Spruce that towers 72-feet tall.

The tree is decorated with five miles of multi-colored lights and the star is made of three million Swarovski crystals at the top.

Artists, like Diana Ross, Tony Bennett and John Legend, are set to perform at the tree lighting celebration.
