LIGHTING UP LIFE ONE PINE NEEDLE AT A TIME Travel-Worthy Christmas Trees
As the holiday season approaches, the twinkling lights and spectacular Christmas tree attractions are always a must-see! Here are the best travel destinations to catch a glimpse of one of the pillars of the holidays. The Rockefeller Center Tree in New York City The Rockefeller Center tree is located just west of 5th Avenue from 47th through 51st streets in New York City and dates back to the Depression era, when the first tree was placed there in 1931. This beloved towering tourist attraction draws thousands with its dazzling lights and grand decorations. To even be considered a contender for this role, a tree must be at least 65 feet tall and 35 feet wide! The National Christmas Tree in Washington, D.C. This American favorite is a long time tradition. Every year, the ceremony begins with live performances and a presidential message of peace. In 1923, President Calvin Coolidge was the first president to light the National Christmas Tree. It was 48 feet high and decorated with 2,500 red, white, and green electric bulbs. A local choir and a quartet from the U.S. Marine Band performed as the tree was lit.
The Coeur d’Alene Resort Tree in Idaho Also known as the World’s Tallest Living Christmas Tree, this grand fir holds the record at 162 feet tall. It is festively decorated with more than 40,000 lights that twinkle in time to the music of “Jingle Bells,” and the tree is crowned with a 10-foot-wide star! The Biltmore Christmas Tree in North Carolina This majestic 55-foot Norway Spruce is in front of the Biltmore Estate and lit as guests make their way down the path of luminaries. With ornaments and miles of garland, this tree graces the Banquet Hall each year for guests from around the world. If you’re lucky enough to live close to one of these locations, enjoy. If not, consider visiting these sites during the holidays for a spectacular experience.
