A Beloved American Tradition

The 2017 National Christmas Tree Lighting is taking place November 30 on the Ellipse at President’s Park. Co-presented by the National Park Service and the National Park Foundation, this beloved American tradition is celebrating its 95th year. Through a partnership with the National Park Foundation, the official charity of America’s national parks, Hallmark Channel will exclusively broadcast the National Christmas Tree Lighting on December 4.
