These days, more than 50,000 energy-efficient bulbs illuminate the world-famous tree, and at the end of its life, it&#8217;s cut into logs used by non-profits such as Habitat for Humanity to construct homes, and also made into mulch for trees and plants in NYC parks. The inaugural lighting of the tree happens December 1. And while the iconic Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree gets most of the attention, it\u2019s not the only one overlooking an ice skating rink. There is another in Bryant Park, which also features a European-style outdoor market for handmade gifts and holiday foods.<\/p>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><br \/><strong>Radio City Christmas Spectacular<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>After a pandemic pause, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rockettes.com\/christmas\/calendar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>The Rockettes<\/strong><\/a> are back with their precision chorus line kicks and turns, and colorful costume changes. Simply put, everyone needs to see this show at least once in their lifetimes. There are two, and sometimes three performances daily on weekdays, and four a day on weekends, from early November to New Year\u2019s Weekend, so there\u2019s no excuse to skip it.<\/p>\r\n<h2><br \/><strong>Department store windows<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p><strong>Saks Fifth Avenue<\/strong> &amp; the <strong>Macy\u2019s<\/strong> flagship in Herald Square always put on a great show.In what is a new tradition, the entire block-wide front of Saks, across Fifth Avenue from Rockefeller Center, is fully covered with digital lights resembling a castle, which shape-shift and change colors to music in a mesmerizing 10-minute sound and light show. <br \/><br \/>The theme of Macy\u2019s 2021\/22 windows is the journey of discovery by Santa, his elves, and a special reindeer who leads the way, with his nose so bright. There\u2019s also the opportunity to visit Santa himself, in Macy\u2019s Santaland, by appointment only. Santa, of course, makes his first appearance of the season at the annual Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC, but that\u2019s another story.<\/p>\r\n<h2><br \/><br \/><strong>Holiday light shows and displays<br \/><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-22811 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/iStock-611315232-e1512400947938-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/iStock-611315232-e1512400947938.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/iStock-611315232-e1512400947938-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/iStock-611315232-e1512400947938-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/iStock-611315232-e1512400947938-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p>The canopy of the 10-story glass atrium <a href=\"https:\/\/bfplny.com\/luminaries\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Winter Garden at Brookfield Place<\/strong><\/a> in Manhattan is covered with more than 650 LED lights to create <em>Luminaries<\/em>, a light show happening hourly November 29\u2013January 2.
