The Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting ceremony will air live on December 4 from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock as part of NBC’s annual Christmas in Rockefeller Center special, hosted by Kelly Clarkson.
“[The holiday special is] filled with the best music, star-studded surprises, and of course the lighting of the world famous Christmas tree that is so special,” Clarkson said on her talk show about hosting Christmas in Rockefeller Center for the second year in a row.
Christmas in Rockefeller Center will also feature festive performances from Clarkson, Backstreet Boys, Dan + Shay, Megan Hilty, Jennifer Hudson, Coco Jones, Little Big Town, RAYE, and Thalia. The Radio City Rockettes will also put on a festive performance.
In addition to the many performance, NBC TODAY show anchors Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb, Al Roker, and Craig Melvin will also join the tree lighting ceremony.
