The tallest Christmas tree in Canada is coming back to Toronto this month

The sights and sounds of the holidays are alive and well in the city.

For starters, Starbucks has released its holiday cups and the Hudson’s Bay and Saks Fifth Avenue are preparing to reveal their iconic holiday windows later this evening.

And the next major holiday kickoff will be the official tree unveiling and lighting ceremony of the CF Eaton Centre’s epic Christmas tree. If you’ve never seen it happen before, check out last year’s event – it will get you very excited:

This holiday season, the Eaton Centre will be home to Canada’s largest Christmas tree, which will proudly stand 100 feet in the air, covering three levels of Toronto’s downtown mall. The tree is so large you can see its lights twinkle from the opposite side of the mall.

If you didn’t have a chance to see last year’s tree, you’re in for a serious surprise.

The tree will be unveiled on Thursday, November 16 with a special performance from Toronto’s favourite volunteer choir group CHOIR!CHOIR!CHOIR! who will be present to sing festive songs.
