Every holiday season, millions admire the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. But few know the man who finds it—and the heartwarming story behind it.

The star-studded special has dazzled audiences since 1933 and will air live on Wednesday, December 3, at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and stream on Peacock. The two-hour event will culminate with the lighting of the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. It’s a moment that’s always pure holiday magic.

Prometheus, the statue in the center’s lower plaza at the back of the skating rink, is being regilded. The work is expected to be done before the Christmas tree lighting.
