Sound the trumpets. The world's most famous Christmas Tree has been chosen to light up Rockefeller Center the 2024 holiday season.

The tree will make its way to Rockefeller Center in New York City with a special escort on November 9,  where it'll be wrapped in more than 50,000 multi-colored, energy-saving LED lights and crowned with a 9-foot, 900-pound Swarovski star covered in 3 million crystals.
