Even though the Queen of Christmas™ is missing from this year's event, the group of performers slated to officially kickoff the holiday season is a pretty impressive bunch. In addition to hosts Matt Lauer, Savannah Guthrie, Al Roker and Hoda Kotb,you can look forward to some extra Christmas-y performances from Neil Diamond, Sarah McLachlan, Tori Kelly and the Radio City Rockettes.

Also appearing at the tree lighting will be Garth Brooks & Trisha Yearwood, Dolly Parton, former Lady Gaga-captive Tony Bennett, Josh Groban and Jordan Smith.

Christmas in Rockefeller Center will air from 7pm-9pm on November 30, and the festive lights on the 94-foot-tall tree will be turned on at 8:55pm.
