Love the Rockefeller tree lighting? We do too. It’s a New York City staple at Christmastime! Depending on how close you get, families can check out the ice-skating rink at Rockefeller Center, ooh and ahh over smaller twinkly lights in the surrounding streets and—of course—do some spectacular people watching. The celebration is free and open to the public, but be prepared: tens of thousands crowd the sidewalks for the event.
