Vancouver is gearing up for a festive holiday season with several formal Christmas tree lighting events in 2025. The highlight of these celebrations is the Vancouver Christmas Tree Lighting, scheduled for November 28, 2025, at 6:00 PM. This much-anticipated annual event will take place outside the Vancouver Art Gallery and marks the beginning of the holiday festivities in the city.

As it celebrates its 19th year, the Vancouver Christmas Tree Lighting will feature a stunning 76-foot-tall tree adorned with over 100,000 lights. The event promises a magical atmosphere, complete with live music, festive entertainment, and complimentary hot chocolate. Families will have the chance to meet Santa and partake in various activities amidst the joyful ambiance.
