Kelly Clarkson looked like a Christmas dream on Wednesday night as she hosted the 2024 Rockefeller Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in New York City.
The star not only aced her hosting duties, she also performed her own holiday song, “You For Christmas”, for the excited crowd.
Watch her performance below.
Also joining the “Breakaway” singer at the event were the Backstreet Boys, Jennifer Hudson, Little Big Town, Coco Jones, Raye and Dan + Shay, to name a few.
The tradition of lighting the Rockefeller tree has been an NYC staple since 1933. “There is truly no tradition like watching that gorgeous tree sparkle and transforming Rockefeller Center into the epicenter of the holiday season in New York,” Jen Neal, the Executive Vice President of Live Events and Specials at NBCUniversal Entertainment, said in a statement.
“With Kelly at the helm, we can’t wait to share this wonderful special and celebrate with the entire country.” The incredible tree stands at 74 feet tall and 43 feet wide and was shipped in from Massachusetts; it is complete with over 50,000 lights and a Swarovski crystal star at the top.
