NBC's Christmas in Rockefeller Center: Kelly Clarkson Returns as Host

Set for the network and Peacock on Wednesday, December 4th, NBC's Christmas in Rockefeller Center is welcoming back Kelly Clarkson as host.

During Monday's edition of The Kelly Clarkson Show, Kelly Clarkson had some excellent holiday news to pass along. NBC's 2024 Christmas in Rockefeller Center will be airing live on Wednesday, December 4th (8-10 pm ET) on the network and also streaming on Peacock – and Clarkson will be back to host for the second consecutive year. Details on who else will be joining Clarkson for the annual tree-lighting ceremony and more will be rolled out over the next few weeks – but you can check out Clarkson's announcement above (and look back at last year's ceremony below).

Blackstone & Palmer, Foster & McPhee, and Gillies & MacFarlane all contributed holiday duets – while Cher performed solo as well as with Love for a special song (and that's because Cher & Darlene Love get to do whatever they want – because this is Cher & Darlene Love we're talking about here, people!). Of course, the Radio City Rockettes were also on hand for a festive performance. And it all culminated with the lighting of the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center – but just in case you missed it? Here's a look at an image gallery of what went down – followed by a look at the moment everyone was counting down to…
