Kick off the holidays with CF Toronto Eaton Centre’s annual tree-lighting ceremony

‘Tis the season at CF Toronto Eaton Centre, where the iconic 114-foot-tall Christmas tree will be making its reappearance to kick off the holidays.

The official Tree Lighting Ceremony will take place on Wednesday, November 15, at 6 pm. Hosted by Canadian rock icons, Barenaked Ladies, the celebration will feature performances from the legendary band, as well as an epic singalong with the Toronto Children’s Chorus.

If you can’t make it to the Tree Lighting Ceremony, fear not — there’s still plenty of festive family fun to be had between November 15 and December 24 as the CF Toronto Eaton Centre becomes CF Winterville, an immersive winter wonderland!

Featuring visits with Santa, live performances, and indoor snow that will fall multiple times a day, a visit to the CF Toronto Eaton Centre is the perfect time to spark holiday excitement and get a few family photos in front of the picturesque Christmas tree.

And it wouldn’t be Christmas without giving back to the community, which is why each time it snows at CF Toronto Eaton Centre, $500 will be donated to Covenant House, Canada’s largest agency that serves youth experiencing homelessness, for a total holiday gift of $100,000.
