From Reba McEntire to Gwen Stefani, several top celebrities performed at the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting on Wednesday. With the event, New York City officially ushered in the holiday season.

The annual event opened with host Reba McEntire, who kicked off the night performing a lively rendition of “Run Rudolph Run.” The ceremony marks the start of two hours of performances, special moments and the long-awaited illumination of the world-famous Norway spruce.

Towering over Rockefeller Plaza, this year's tree is wrapped in more than 50,000 multicolored LED lights and topped with a dazzling 900-pound star made from 3 million Swarovski crystals. The iconic spruce will remain on display through January before being milled into lumber for Habitat for Humanity, continuing the tradition of giving back.

The performances added their own sparkle to the night. Gwen Stefani warmed up the crowd with her cozy holiday track “Hot Cocoa” from her 2017 album You Make It Feel Like Christmas. Her festive set came despite the chilly December weather, earning cheers from fans packed around the plaza.
