The 92nd annual tree-lighting ceremony in New York features celebrity guests and live performances.
Matt Roush says...
Few New York sights are more spectacular than the lighting of the mammoth tree at Rockefeller Center, the climactic event of a two-hour entertainment special hosted for the second year by daytime star Kelly Clarkson. She performs as part of a roster including Backstreet Boys, Jennifer Hudson, Dan + Shay, Megan Hilty, Coco Jones, Little Big Town, RAYE, Thalia — and the crowd favorite Radio City Rockettes kicking up their heels. Today’s Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb, Al Roker, and Craig Melvin will also be on hand for the unveiling of this year’s tree, an 11-ton, 74-foot tall by 43-foot-wide Norway Spruce from Massachusetts.
Jimmy Fallon’s Holiday Seasoning Spectacular (10/9c, NBC): Once the tree is lit, the stars continue to shine in a variety special featuring stars and music from The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon’s new Holiday Seasoning album. The premise of the special finds Jimmy canvassing New York City in search of the holiday spirit, opening doors to apartments where guest celebrities lurk to join in the musical fun. Among the participants: Dolly Parton, Justin Timberlake, LL Cool J, The Roots, Jonas Brothers, Meghan Trainor, Cara Delevingne, J.B. Smoove, and Weird Al Yankovic.
