While Christmas and holiday decorations have popped up in New York City over the past few weeks, none represents the start of the season and the spirit of NYC more than the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree.

There are over 50,000 multi-colored LED lights on the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, connected by approximately five miles worth of wire.
