Estimated from the pattern, per en.wikipedia.org^[1]: the tree is "lit in a public ceremony on the last Wednesday of November or first Wednesday of December and following Thanksgiving"; Thanksgiving 2026 falls on 26 November (macysinc.com^[2]), so the ceremony should be Wednesday 2 December.

The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Is Lit for 2026

The Rockefeller Center Christmas tree is lit in a televised ceremony on the Wednesday after Thanksgiving, expected on 2 December 2026, opening the holiday season in Midtown.

The tree goes up in mid-November and is lit on the Wednesday after Thanksgiving; with Thanksgiving on 26 November 2026, that points to 2 December^[1][2]
The lighting has been broadcast live on NBC's Christmas in Rockefeller Center since 1997, and the tree has been a tradition every year since 1933^[1]
It is usually a Norway spruce 69 to 100 feet tall, donated to Rockefeller Center, which donates the lumber afterwards^[1]
In 2025 the tree, a 75-foot, 11-ton Norway spruce from East Greenbush, New York, was lit just before 10 p.m. on Wednesday 3 December with more than 50,000 LED lights^[4]
The 2025 broadcast was hosted by Reba McEntire^[4]; the tree was lit at 9:58 p.m. as a choir sang "Joy to the World"^[3]
