Christmas In Boston

Once Thanksgiving passes, Boston comes alive with festivities leading up to Christmas. Make lasting Christmas memories with your family by enjoying Boston’s holiday lights, especially at the Boston Common.

Boston Common Tree Lighting Ceremony

A great way to kick off the season is early in December when Boston illuminates the Boston Common Tree. In 2024, the event will take place on Dec. 5 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The magic doesn’t stop at the tree; the entire park lights up for the holidays.

The mayor, Santa Claus, and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer will join the celebration. Bring your family close to the tree, wander the parks, and explore the sampling village for giveaways, treats, and merch.

Commonwealth Avenue Mall Holiday Lights

After the tree lighting, head to Commonwealth Avenue Mall for another spectacular light display. Rows of trees will twinkle with festive lights. In 2024, this lighting happens at 15P Commonwealth Ave., starting at 8 p.m.
