    November 30, 2014 – Last Monday, Citywalk Hollywood held their annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony with contestants from The Voice. On hand this year was Carson Daly and the top ten finalists from The Voice which films daily on the Universal front lot in Soundstage 12.

    Also featured at the event was a humongous 40-foot Christmas tree featuring more than 200,000 LED lights that sync in unison with the Five Towers stage. With a free concert by the finalist on the 5 Towers stage, guests were treated to the appearance of Santa Claus to help countdown the lighting spectacle. Steamers flew high into the air to bring excitement for the opening of the holiday season at Universal CityWalk.

    CityWalk’s holiday celebration runs from November 24 to December 25 on select dates with falling snow every hour between 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM plus a photo opportunity with Santa Claus himself in the fountain plaza. Lighting in and around CityWalk has also been adjusted to help ring in the holiday spirit.

    We’ve included photos and a video from the proceeding event below.
