There’s been very little joy to the world in 2020, but hopefully the holiday season — and a Covid-19 vaccine — can bring back some optimism. What better place to start than Rockefeller Center in New York City? And while we’re here, let’s illuminate a huge evergreen tree.
NBC will light up the country’s Christmas tree, and hopefully children’s faces everywhere, with its “Christmas in Rockefeller Center” special on Wednesday, Dec. 2, airing from 8 p.m. Et/Pt to 10 p.m. There is no encore scheduled.
For cord-cutters, the special will stream live on NBC.com and the NBC app, but there is no YouTube accompaniment. Multiple streaming services, like Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV and Sling, to name a few, carry NBC — so there’s another option.
One alternative readers definitely do not have is to attend in person: There will be no public access to this year’s tree lighting ceremony.

Set to feature performances and appearances by Dolly Parton, Jimmy Fallon and The Roots and more, the 94th annual event will opt for a virtual reimagining of the fall gathering — no crowds or even a parade route . Mario Lopez is set to host the event, most of which is being pre-taped this week within one 34th Street block near Macy’s flagship Herald Square store and utilizing only about a quarter of the usual participants to keep save from virus transmission.
The three-hour event will also feature performances from the casts of Broadway shows Jagged Little Pill, Mean Girls and Hamilton. Additional talent includes Tori Kelly, Patti Labelle, Matthew Morrison, Leslie Odom Jr., Keke Palmer,...

The Young and the Restless tallied 23 nominations as honors were announced this morning for the 40th annual Daytime Emmy Awards. Restless’ impressive take helped CBS lead all networks with 50 overall nominations. PBS and ABC followed, with 44 and 38 nods, respectively.
General Hospital, which earned 19 nominations, joined Restless in the race for Outstanding Drama Series, and Sesame Street received 17 nods, including three for Kevin Clash, the voice of Elmo who faces allegations of sexual misconduct.
Good Morning America and Today will bring their ratings rivalry to the Emmys, where they’ll be joined by CBS Sunday Morning in the Outstanding Morning Program category.
