Meanwhile, teams are preparing to decorate the tree with five miles of string lights containing over 50,000 colorful LED bulbs. The whole thing is rounded off with a sparkling Swarovski star, which is decorated with 3 million crystals and forms the sparkling crown of the tree.

Visitors can view the tree at Rockefeller Plaza, 45 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, NY 10111.

The tree is lit daily from 5 a.m. to midnight. The tree is lit for 24 hours on Christmas Eve and from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. on New Year’s Eve
