The Rockefeller Christmas Tree Has Arrived In NYC & It's On Brand For 2020 (PHOTOS)

It's the perfect tree for the year we've had. 😅🎄
The 2020 Rockefeller Christmas Tree Has Arrived In NYC & It's Painfully On Brand (PHOTOS)

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!

Editor's Choice: Don't Worry, The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Is Actually Going To Look Amazing

On November 14, the Rockefeller Centre shared a photo of the tree officially arriving in the city, writing, "Let the holiday season begin!"

However, it didn't take long for social media users to start commenting on the tree's apparent 2020-inspired appearance.

Many Twitter users responded by comparing the tree to the one featured in A Charlie Brown Christmas. 

While it’s looking a little miserable right now, some people urged others to be patient and positive, noting that the tree will improve in the days to come.

The tree, which this year is 75 feet high, arrived on Saturday and will be decorated over the coming days and weeks.

What a fitting tribute to the year though, eh?!
