FOX News Media To Present Sixth Annual “All-American Christmas Tree Lighting” On November 21
FOX News Media (FNM) will present its sixth annual “All-American Christmas Tree Lighting” on Friday, November 21 at 5 PM/ET during a special edition of The Five. Co-hosts Greg Gutfeld, Dana Perino, Jessica Tarlov, Jesse Watters, and guest co-host Lawrence Jones will light the tree on FOX Square outside the network’s New York City headquarters along with a live performance from Grammy Award-winning contemporary Christian singer Chris Tomlin accompanied by a choir.
Standing at 50 feet tall, FNM’s All-American Christmas Tree will be decorated with 18,000 ornaments and 340,000 warm white, true white and red lights. Made by holiday lighting and display company American Christmas based in Mt. Vernon, NY, the tree has a six feet tall dove topper with 4,800 embedded lights.
Outnumbered co-host Emily Compagno and FOX News Saturday Night’s Jimmy Failla will helm live coverage on FOX News’ digital platforms for an immersive two-screen experience throughout the tree lighting. Compagno will serve as the event’s social media correspondent, providing viewers with a behind-the-scenes livestream that features interviews with FOX News Media talent and special guests, while Failla will deliver short-form humorous content throughout the show.
