Merry Christmas Eve, NYC! To celebrate, we’re taking a look back at the the evolution of NYC’s most iconic holiday tradition: the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. From humble beginnings in 1931, this bad boi has grown to attract an estimated 125 million people every year and we can’t wait to see how it’ll evolve next🎄✨ 📸 (1931, 1938, 1942, 1955, and 1970): Tishman Speyer / @Rockefeller Center 📸 (1962 and 2013): Shutterstock 📸 (1987): Library of Congress 📸 (1999 and 2007): Getty Images . #nyc #rockefellerchristmastree #rockefellercenter #christmasinnewyork #holidays
