A Guide to Chicago's Tree Lighting Ceremony 2022, Coming up Friday

The tree, which was cut down and transported to the city on a giant flatbed earlier this month, beat out more than 80 other tree entries to become Chicago’s 109th annual “Official” Christmas Tree.

Chicago’s “official” Christmas tree isn’t the only giant tree on display in the city this Christmas season, however. Shortly after Halloween, Macy’s on State Street began installing its 45-foot Christmas tree inside the department store’s historic Walnut Room. The “Great Tree.” in its 115th year, dons 1,500 ornaments designed by Macy’s Visual team. Unlike other Christmas trees, it hangs from the ceiling instead of sitting on a base — and the star that sits at the top is the very first piece to be installed, Macy’s says. According to a press release, Macy’s holiday windows will be on display until Jan. 1, and the “Great Tree” will remain up through Jan. 9. christmas music Nov 1 Day After Halloween, Chicago Radio Station Flips to All-Day Christmas Music Starbucks Nov 3 Starbucks' Red, Holiday Cups For the 2022 Season Are Officially Here Christkindlmarket Nov 9 How to Visit the Christkindlmarket for the 2022 Holiday Season
