The Rockefeller Center has revealed its 2026 Christmas tree 🎄
The unveiling is always an iconic event, but did you know that tree will end up building affordable houses? Since 2007, Tishman Speyer, the owner and operator of Rockefeller Center, has had the tree milled down into two-by-four and two-by-six beams that they donate to Habitat for Humanity. The tree is a Norway Spruce, which is more flexible and durable than lumber for load-bearing walls. It's used for blocking, flooring, furniture, and cabinetry in Habitat houses from New York to Mississippi. How cool is that?!
