BREAKING NEWS: New York City may experience a BLUE CHRISTMAS this year but the notable decorations you see there will still be up including the famous Christmas Tree in legendary Rockefeller Center. We are so happy to share with you that the official tree for 2020 has been selected. That TIMBER chop is set for tomorrow before heading onto a truck and arriving in the Big Apple (on the Plaza) this Saturday!!!!

The 2020 Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree comes from Oneonta, New York. The tree is a 75-foot-tall Norway Spruce. It was donated by Al Dick, the owner of the town's Daddy Al's General Store there. More information on the decorations will be revealed later on.

Because we are still coping with the COVID-19 pandemic, there will be continued ongoing safety precautions for people to social distant and also the prevention of large crowds that could fuel another coronavirus outbreak. It also has been confirmed when the tree arrives this weekend, there will be NO public access to see it arriving.

In addition, NBC's annual live CHRISTMAS IN ROCKEFELLER CENTER Tree Lighting ceremony will be done differently this year. No official details have also been revealed on how the ceremony will be done this year minus the huge crowd that gather around the Plaza every year to see it light up. As tradition, the lighting ceremony happens a week after Thanksgiving.

It's gonna be a little crazy and different but the legacy of New York at Christmas Time will still go on.

Along with The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree this year, several of New York's notable events during the holidays have sadly been altered differently or have been cancelled this year. Some of this includes….

The 2020 of The CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR starring the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall sadly cancelled this year but is expecting to return next year in 2021

and

Bryant Park's annual Winter Village has been altered this year with limited people.

Remember, all of this is for our continued safety. Everything will be return back to normal soon. We're all in this together.
