The 2023 holiday season is in full force now with Thanksgiving in the rearview mirror, and after the Macy’s parade last week, people are turning their attention to other holidays like Christmas — if they weren’t there already.
The annual Christmas tree lighting at Rockefeller Center is set for Wednesday, Nov. 29 at 8 p.m. ET, and to celebrate the holiday season, NBC has a variety of musical superstars performing for the network’s annual Christmas in Rockefeller Center special.
Kelly Clarkson will host the special and is expected to perform some of her holiday songs, and thanks to a report from PEOPLE magazine earlier this month, we know who else will be on stage for the tree lighting.
Here’s a look at some of the people expected to perform, per PEOPLE:
