Some four-legged stars of the holiday season got a special welcome Thursday on the streets of Midtown.

A camel, sheep and donkey were welcomed by the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall.

The animals are in the "Living Nativity" portion of the Christmas Spectacular.

"They've been around since 1933 with the living nativity. We've always had live animals on our stage and this year we got to welcome in three camels, two sheep and one donkey and my personal favorite, Ted the Camel, was just not to be missed this morning. Put on a smile for the cameras and was very exciting," said one Rockette.

The Rockettes are celebrating their 85th year of performing in the city.

The Christmas Spectacular runs from November 9 to December 30.
