Just when you thought the year couldn’t get any worse, the 2020 Rockefeller Christmas tree has officially been erected in New York City.
The huge Norway spruce, which is arguably the most famous festive tree in the world, is usually extra-large, super-full and sparkling with Christmassy cheer.
This year, however, the Rockefeller tree seems to be pretty on-brand for 2020, with many social media users mocking its “seriously raggedy” and "Charlie Brown"-esque appearance.
In fact, one Twitter user even described it as "the saddest Christmas tree." Yikes!
