National Christmas Tree: A Classic, Colorful Christmas

GE Lighting, A Savant Company, Partners with the National Park Foundation for the 101st National Christmas Tree Lighting

This year’s design includes numerous strands of multi-colored opaque lights in red, green, blue, white and yellow with two varying sizes of 2D silver holographic snowflakes interspersed throughout. The snowflakes add a pleasant daytime interest while picking up the colorful reflections of the lights at night. A warm white tape light star tops off the tree while several colorful gift boxes surround it. The National Christmas Tree stands as a daily reminder of the holiday spirit and of the cherished national tradition.

For 61 years the GE Lighting business has been proud to design and provide lighting for the National Christmas Tree. For the first 58 years as part of General Electric, and the last four years as part of Savant Systems, Inc. GE Lighting, a Savant company is again honored to design and decorate this year’s tree in partnership with the National Park Foundation.
