New York City, USA

Featured here is Rockefeller Centre, a symbol of New York City"s grandeur, which stands as an architectural marvel in the heart of Manhattan. As December approaches, the city gears up for a sparkling spectacle. Gone are the days of simply plugging in some lights; now this towering Norway spruce, as seen, is adorned with over 50,000 multicoloured LED lights and topped with a Swarovski crystal star. Just wait until the tree—sometimes as tall as 27 metres—is illuminated; it is a full-blown extravaganza with musical performances and celebrity sightings. This mesmerising glow of the tree marks the official arrival of the holiday season in the city that never sleeps, and you definitely don"t want to miss it!
