“Oh Christmas Tree” 🎼🎶
•
My favorite Christmas Tree in the world is at #RockefellerCenter 🎄💚 If you have time while in #NewYorkCity #iceskating here is a must. (More in stories)
Below are some fun facts about the 2018 Tree:
85 Feet
The height of this year’s Norway Spruce
13 Tons
The weight of this gigantic sparkler
90 years
The age of this year’s tree. The first tree lighting ceremony was in 1933 meaning the tree is older than the ceremony itself.
50,000
Number of LED lights on the branches. They need nearly 7 miles of electrical wire— that's enough wire to span once around Central Park $1.5 million
Cost of the star shaped tree topper which is made of 25,000 @swarovski crystals
240 Miles
The distance the tree traveled from Pennsylvania where it was cut down
500,000
The number of visitors per day while the tree sits at the centerpiece of @rockcenternyc
1,297
Number of kilowatt hours the tree consumes a day. These come in large part from the solar cells installed at Rockefeller Center
Charity
Once the lights are turned off in January the wood of the tree will be donated either as mulch for New York City’s Parks or to make paper, doors and frames.
