Faneuil Hall Marketplace held its annual holiday tree lighting celebration on Saturday, kicking off the festive season with joy, music, and community spirit.

Santa Claus and Miss Boston 2025 made a special appearance, accompanied by representatives from Make-A- Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island, which grants life-changing wishes for local children with critical illnesses.

This year, a child from Make-A-Wish had the honor of helping to flip the switch, illuminating the beautifully adorned 50-foot holiday tree. This year’s tree, hand-picked from Cadillac, Northern Michigan, was provided by the family-owned Egan Acres Tree Farm. It arrived earlier this month and will be decorated by Red Nose Holiday Lights & Decor with over one mile of lights and 900 ornaments.
