There’s been very little joy to the world in 2020, but hopefully the holiday season — and a Covid-19 vaccine — can bring back some optimism. What better place to start than Rockefeller Center in New York City? And while we’re here, let’s illuminate a huge evergreen tree.
NBC will light up the country’s Christmas tree, and hopefully children’s faces everywhere, with its “Christmas in Rockefeller Center” special on Wednesday, Dec. 2, airing from 8 p.m. Et/Pt to 10 p.m. There is no encore scheduled.
For cord-cutters, the special will stream live on NBC.com and the NBC app, but there is no YouTube accompaniment. Multiple streaming services, like Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV and Sling, to name a few, carry NBC — so there’s another option.
One alternative readers definitely do not have is to attend in person: There will be no public access to this year’s tree lighting ceremony.

While we could sure use the symbol of joy and peace this year, the selected evergreen — a 75-foot tall, 45-foot wide Norway Spruce from Oneonta, New York — doesn’t appear to be up to the challenge.

It looked a heck of a lot nicer all tied up. Nothing 50,000 multi-colored LED lights and one Swarovski star can’t fix, we hope.
Or just focus on the adorable stowaway owl:

After the tree leaves Rockefeller Center, it will be milled into lumber for donation to Habitat for Humanity and used to build homes in the region. Let’s hope the branches are sturdier than they look.
