NEW YORK - The 2022 Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree has been cut down and is on its way to New York City.

This year's tree is from Queensbury, a town in New York's Warren County, roughly 200 miles north of New York City.

The 82-foot tall Norway Spruce will be erected at Rockefeller Center on Saturday, November 12, and then be dressed with over 50,000 lights and topped with a Swarovski crystal star.

The tree was donated by the Lebowitz family of Glens Falls, the Glens Falls Chronicle reported.

The official tree-lighting ceremony will be held on November 30.
