Boston Christmas tree lightings from Faneuil Hall to the Boston Common have the city fully aglow. We have a roundup of all the best corners of the city serving some seriously bedazzling winter lights, but if Christmas trees are your thing, below you’ll find a list of all the tallest, sparkliest trees adorning the city!
1. Boston Common
The Boston Common’s Christmas tree is the official tree of the city of Boston, and it’s the second tallest one in the city. For 53 years Nova Scotia gifted the city with a beautiful tree as a thank you for the aid provided by Boston after a 1917 explosion wrecked Halifax.
2. Beacon Hill
The glowing holiday tree sparkles brilliantly beginning from the annual holiday stroll on December 5! You can admire the tree off of Charles Street and also take a look at the whimsical decor of the Beacon Hill brownstones!
3. Snowport
The Seaport’s official tree at heart of the whimsicle winter village, Snowport is the tallest tree in Boston and will be lit on December 6. The dazzling ornaments create a natural glow from the sun during the day and the golden LEDs dazzle further as the lights come on at night!
4. USS Constitution
A dazzling Christmas tree on a ship is a spectacle to behold on the historic vessel. The annual lighting occurs on December 6 at 3:30 PM and includes free cocoa, live music and more! After, visit Charlestown’s dazzling Winter Fest.
5. Faneuil Hall & Quincy Market
Faneuil Hall’s massive Christmas tree is officially on display! It glows with greens, silvers, golds and reds! Make sure to also check out the neighborhood shops for holiday gifting!
