Jackman had passed the barriers to get closer to the iconic tree, revealing this caught the attention of the security guard on duty at the time.
"I highly recommend getting up really early on Christmas morning and taking a walk to see the Rockefeller Christmas tree," the actor posted on Instagram.
"It's so beautiful and not crowded at all. I did get in trouble for going beyond the barrier but the security guard was nice and let me go with just a warning."

This Christmas marked the first in 27 years that Jackman is single, following his split from ex-wife Deborra-lee Furness.
The pair, who share two adopted children together, announced they were going their separate ways in September via a joint statement to People.
"We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth," the couple said in the statement.

"We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives."
