Now that Halloween is behind us, the holidays are officially in full swing and NBC has announced that Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks & Trisha Yearwood and so many other artists will be kicking off Christmas in the heart of New York City at NBC’s “Christmas in Rockefeller Center.”

Celebrating the lighting of one of the world’s most well-known Christmas trees in the iconic plaza, Parton, Brooks and Yearwood are among the star-studded lineup prepared to perform and spread the yuletide spirit across the country.

Anchors from NBC’s popular morning talk show, Today, will be hosting the grand affair that will be complete with performances by the country stars as well as Tony Bennett, Neil Diamond, Josh Groban, Tori Kelly, Sarah McLachlan and more. As usual, even the Radio City Rockettes will make an appearance at the lighting.

This year’s “Christmas at Rockefeller Center” marks the 84th year of the tree lighting, in which they will be featuring a 94-foot tall spruce tree covered in more than 50,000 LED-lights filled with tons of colors to set the holiday mood.

The 84th annual “Christmas at Rockefeller Center” tree lighting will air on Wednesday, November 30, at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.
