Every year, the lighting of the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center is one of the events that signal, “Bring on the holidays!” And this year, more than ever, we all need that feeling again.

The beautiful tree is about to make its way to New York City for the official 2020 ceremony. 

Say hello to the 2020 Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree! Hailing from Oneonta, NY, this Norway Spruce will arrive at Rockefeller Center this Saturday, November 14 to kick off the holiday season.?

This year, the infamous tree is a 75-foot tall, 45-foot diameter, 11-ton Norway Spruce, located in Oneonta, New York. 

Donated by Daddy Al’s General Store in Oneonta, the spruce will be cut down tomorrow morning, November 12. It will then loaded by crane onto a 115 foot flatbed trailer to make its way into Manhattan. 

It’s been unseasonably warm this week but Troop C is in the Christmas spirit! It’s been officially announced that the Rockefeller tree will be coming from the Oneonta area. Many of the branches from the tree have been secured and it will be cut down tomorrow. ? pic.twitter.com/TQNb8dIM3K
