NBC made an announcement today regarding their fall lineup, including news on upcoming debut shows, special events and, yes, their highly-anticipated holiday programming slate.

The network will continue their musical tradition with the seven-time Tony Award winner “Annie Live!”. The 95th annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will air November 25th, Thanksgiving Day, and the beloved “Christmas at Rockefeller Center” special will also return with the lighting of this year’s Christmas tree.

Comedian and talk show host Jimmy Fallon is set produce the animated special “Five More Sleeps ‘Til Christmas,“ based on his best-selling children’s book. Additionally a new animated special, “Trolls: Holiday in Harmony,“ arrives from DreamWorks Animation.

The network will air special holiday episodes of the hit comedies “Kenan,” “Mr. Mayor,“ and “Young Rock”, a sitcom based upon the life of professional wrestler and actor Dwayne Johnson.

It may be Christmas every day at LollyChristmas.com but, in New York City the Christmas season doesn’t officially kick off until the day after Thanksgiving or, for some, until the iconic Rockfeller Christmas tree gets lit up for the first time. The official tree lighting ceremony for the 2019 tree will take place on Wednesday, December 4th at 30 Rockefeller Plaza.

Each year NBC hosts the event with a live broadcasted event featuring holiday performances from some of the tops names in entertainment — including the Radio City Rockettes. The tree will then remain lit and on display until the evening of January 6th.

On Christmas Day, the lights will stay on for a full 24 hours.

Where does the tree go after it comes down? For the thirteenth consecutive year, the tree will be donated and turned into building materials for Habitat for Humanity.

Stay merry!
