The Empire State Building's four-night holiday light show kicks off tonight at 7 p.m., when an a cappella recording of "Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy" will coordinate perfectly to the New York City icon's LED lights.

So what are the benefits to the Empire State Building's holiday light show going down tonight in near spring-like temperatures? 

How's about catching the show live and in living color rather than on your computer screen? Can you say year-round rooftop bar? 

The infamous "Nutcracker" piece, performed by Grammy-nominated Pentatonix, will also play on 106.7 Lite FM. 

If you can't catch it live, the incredible show will be posted in all of its glory on the Empire State Building’s YouTube channel at 7:30 pm.
