The weather outside may have been horrendous before Thanksgiving, but the Fox News team sought to warm hearts with the network’s fifth annual lighting of America’s Christmas tree. Held the week before Turkey Day on Friday, November 22, the event took place outside of FNC’s headquarters in midtown Manhattan and featured a host of star talent from the chain.
