FOX’s All-American Christmas tree, which once again features a patriotic theme of red, white and blue decorations, is 50 feet tall and decorated with 12,000 ornaments and 340,000 lights.

Fox News personalities Sean Hannity, Janice Dean, Charles Payne, Steeve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt, Kayleigh McEnany, Lauren Green, Jimmy Failla, Sandra Smith, Todd Piro, Bill Hemmer, Sean Duffy, Rachel Campos-Duffy, Lawrence Jones, FOX News Media CEO Suzanne Scott, President and Executive Editor Jay Wallace and FOX Weather’s "Dancing Weatherman" Nick Kosir were among the guests in attendance

The tree was quickly replaced "as a sign of resilience and hope in the face of a horrible act," and FOX News Media executives credit the FDNY and NYPD for quickly responding to the act of arson

FOX News Media is also partnering with the Police Athletic League (PAL) for a toy drive to benefit New York City’s youth, offering employees a chance to participate in volunteer activities to help spread holiday cheer.
