In honor of the
Radio City Christmas Spectacular officially back today, little throwback for super fans of this National Treasure. From 1999-2005, the show had a notable commercial jingle that would be heard on both TV and on the Radio. We have the full length version below sung by Broadway veteran and celebrated vocalist
Mike Eldred (who previously appeared on the Great Bright Way in
Les Miserables and The Civil War).
Just like the song, the jingle inspires everyone that even in the most difficult times and that Live Theater is back, FILL YOUR HEART WITH CHRISTMAS this year & many years to come.
The 2021 edition of the Radio City Christmas Spectacular is now running in previews. The show will have its official Opening Night on November 9th, 2021 and will run till January 2nd, 2022.
Who remembers this commercial?
How incredible is Mike’s voice?!!

BEHOLD! New York City will be ringing in the holiday season in the way it’s well known for once again. It is that time to HAUL OUT THE HOLLY, PUT UP THE TREE BEFORE OUR SPIRIT FALLS AGAIN. When we talk about trees, we’re not mentioning any tree….. it’s the world famous
Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree which has become a National Treasure to the Big Apple every year. We are so enthusiastic to announce that the 2021 has been found and making its way here.
The 2021 Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree has been found from Maryland. It is a 79-foot-tall Norway Spruce. It was donated this year by a family from the town of Elkton. When it gets here to the city, it will be all beautifully decked out with so much holiday decorations including over 50,000 twinkling lights, and that famous crystal star made by
SWAROVSKI.
That Tree will have that famous TIMBER chop on November 11th, 2021. It will make its way onto a truck and traveling 140 miles here to New York City. It will arrive on the Plaza on November 13th, 2021.
As holiday tradition of course,
NBC will have its annual Live CHRISTMAS IN ROCKEFELLER CENTER Tree Lighting ceremony special the week after Thanksgiving. This year’s edition is set to air live on December 1st, 2021. Along with the lighting, it is expecting to feature some of the biggest names in the worlds of Music, Film, TV, and of course our Broadway scene performing. That’s not all, the ceremony is expecting to welcome back its thousands of screaming fans gather outside Plaza this year. No official details have been made on some of the tweaks will be done since we’re still coping with COVID-19 restrictions.
Last year’s edition of CHRISTMAS IN ROCKEFELLER did NOT have its tradition crowds due to the strict safety protocols. No one was allowed to gather. At the same time for anyone who wanted to see the tree up close, New York City Mayor
Bill de Blasio organized a safe way for people who were in the city to see the tree up close but very briefly. All you had to do was make a reservation, purchase a ticket, take your photo, and go…. all while social distancing and wearing your face masks.
No details were made on how the plans for tourists to see the tree will be done this year.
Who is excited for the tree?

YOU BETTER WATCH OUT, YOU BETTER NOT CRY! It’s been 2 years since he brought the spirit of the holidays here in the Big Apple but now SANTA CLAUS IS COMING BACK TO TOWN. Tomorrow marks the official return of a beloved legendary show that has continued to play a huge part of New York City during THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR. We of course are talking about the legendary
Radio City Christmas Spectacular starring the legendary
Rockettes.
To get us in the mood, check out our favorite HOLLY JOLLY old man himself as he & his reindeer companions take the ultimate SLEIGH RIDE flight from the North Pole to the Big Apple. For those who have seen the show or planning to see it, this is actually one of the big highlighted moment from the CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR. What you’re about to see is a 2D edition of what is actually the 2 minute 3D film that is projected on a giant screen during the show’s opening number.
When you actually see the show, you get a pair of 3D Glasses to wear to watch this moment. During the show, keep an eye out for the cue when “Santa” tells the audience to put the Glasses on. Experiencing in Radio City Music Hall full out in 3D, you will feel like you’re riding along in Santa’s Sleigh.
The Radio City Christmas Spectacular relaunches its tradition in previews starting tomorrow, November 5th, 2021. It will officially open on November 9th, 2021 and will run through January 2nd, 2022.
How incredible is this?
Who is excited for this landmark treasure to return?!!!!
