The Rockefeller Center Christmas tree was lit for the 92nd lighting ceremony, with Kelly Clarkson hosting the event for the second year in a row. The celebration was star-studded and marked the beginning of the 2024 holiday season. The event included performances, speeches, and a festive atmosphere. The tradition of lighting the tree has been a long-standing tradition at Rockefeller Center and is a symbol of the holiday season in New York City. While the event was a festive and joyous occasion, it also marked the retirement of broadcast journalist Chuck Scarborough after more than 50 years in the industry. Additionally, the event featured discussions around current events such as the challenge to ban treatments for transgender youths and the potential appointment of Ron DeSantis as defense secretary. Overall, the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting ceremony was a celebratory and meaningful event that kicked off the holiday season in a star-studded fashion.
