Rock the Holidays. Michael Hammers' Christmas Star crowning its 11th Rockefeller Center Tree.

Big cheer: Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett lined up to help to ignite the most wonderful time of the year!

JOY TO ALL !
The heart of Manhattan were ablazed with 45,000 lights and Michael Hammers’ magnificent Crystal Star gracing its 11th world famous Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree tonight.

Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett were among the stars lining up to help light up the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center this year.

JOY TO THE WORLD!
The air reverberated also with the voices of Mariah Carey, Cyndi Lauper, Seth MacFarlane featuring Sara Bareilles, Idina Menzel, Pentatonix, LeAnn Rimes and Trisha Yearwood.

The superstar singers joined Today show anchors Matt Lauer, Savannah Guthrie, Al Roker and Natalie Morales for the NBC´s Christmas in Rockefeller Center special airing.

Like each year tens of thousands of people again were standing behind police barricades to watch the annual spectacle.

IT'S THE SEASON!
