Attention, Vancouver! One of the city’s peak holiday experiences is back and better than ever. Now in its 17th year, the Vancouver Christmas Tree Lighting will light a 76-foot-tall tree – the tallest Christmas tree in Western Canada.

In addition to watching the magic unfold, visitors will get to enjoy free hot chocolate, live music and entertainment, and meet Santa at the event.

Presented by Amacon and hosted by Fred Lee, the lighting continues to be one of the largest community holiday events in downtown Vancouver, attracting thousands of visitors from far and wide every year.
