Lady Gaga, Tony Bennett, Mariah Carey and Seth MacFarlane were just a few of the stars lighting up the stage at the 82nd Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in The Big Apple.
The Christmas in Rockefeller Center broadcast, co-hosted by NBC's Today Show team of Matt Lauer, Al Roker, Savannah Guthrie and Natalie Morales, also featured live performances from Cyndi Lauper and Billy Porter, Trisha Yearwood, LeAnn Rimes, Prince Royce, Darius Rucker, Pentatonix, Ingrid Michaelson, Sara Bareilles, Idina Menzel, and of course, the world-famous Rockettes.
Thousands of people filled the surrounding streets to watch in amazement as the 85-foot Norway Spruce lit up the night with 45,000 energy-efficient LED lights. The topper? A Swarovski star with 25,000 crystals, weighing in at about 550 pounds.
The tree is a must-see in NYC, from now until January 7.
