The 2017 production features dazzling Rockettes dance numbers, spectacular costumes and state-of-the-art technology.
“For so many families, the Radio City Rockettes and the Christmas Spectacular have become a holiday tradition that we are incredibly honored to become a part of, as the only official natural and organic meat partner of the production,” said Nicole Glenn, Applegate vice president of marketing. “We are very excited for the opportunity to serve our hot dogs – the inspiration behind our mission – at food and beverage stands inside Radio City Music Hall and hope attendees will leave with the desire to look for other Applegate products during their next grocery store visit.”
