The annual "Christmas in Rockefeller Center” Special airs live Tonight, Wednesday, December 4th, at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and will also simulcast on Peacock.
Did you know that The Rockefeller Christmas tree lighting has been an annual tradition since 1933! Wow! 91 years! It is wonderful that this heartwarming holiday tradition carries on.
Here is an excerpt below of some of the details for tonight's show via NBC's press release:
NBC'S "CHRISTMAS IN ROCKEFELLER CENTER" UNVEILS STAR-STUDDED PERFORMER LINEUP FOR ANNUAL TREE-LIGHTING TELECAST
Backstreet Boys, Dan + Shay, Megan Hilty, Jennifer Hudson, Coco Jones, Little Big Town, RAYE, the Radio City Rockettes and Thalia Set to Take the Stage as Part of Iconic New York City Holiday Tradition.
Emmy and Grammy Award Winner Kelly Clarkson Will Return to Host and Perform During Two-Hour Holiday Special.
Prior to the primetime telecast, an additional live hour of the special will be broadcast on all NBC Owned Television Stations and on numerous NBC affiliates nationwide starting at 7 p.m. ET. Check local listings. This special live hour will be hosted by "Access Hollywood" and "Access Daily with Mario & Kit" host Mario Lopez, as well as WNBC news anchors Natalie Pasquarella and David Ushery.
The annual holiday special will celebrate the lighting of a 74-foot tall, 43-foot wide Norway Spruce from West Stockbridge, Mass. The tree weighs approximately 11 tons, will be adorned with more than 50,000 multi-colored LED lights and topped with a three-dimensional Swarovski star.
Continuing a longstanding tradition, after the tree leaves Rockefeller Center it will be donated to Habitat for Humanity and milled into lumber that will be used for home building.
I hope many of you will enjoy tonight's program. If any of you are also able to see the first hour hosted by Mario Lopez, please let us know if he is able to promote his upcoming Great American Family Christmas movie, Once Upon a Christmas Wish, during it. He did an interview last night for the film in New York on Jesse Watters Primetime on Fox News. Mario discussed that this was his first movie with Great American Family and (paraphrasing) that he was glad to get his family involved with this project.
Disclaimer: Please know, I am simply reporting above all of the performers that will be in attendance for the Christmas in Rockefeller Center tree lighting; I am not aware of what may occur during a live program. Viewer discretion is advised.
Hopefully, it will be a fun, family-friendly program, and everyone will enjoy seeing the beautiful Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center lit up again!
