It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Rockefeller Center announced Oct. 27 that its iconic Christmas tree for this year will come from East Greenbush, New York and is being donated by the Russ family.

“I’m excited to make more cherished memories with my family and childhood friends as it becomes the world’s Christmas tree,” Judy Russ, who lives with her 7-year-old son, Liam, told The Center Magazine.

The tree was chosen Rockefeller Center head gardener Erik Pauze, who is tasked with finding the right tree each year.

“As soon as I saw it, I knew it was perfect,” he told The Center Magazine.
