The tree stands 115 feet tall, which is twice as tall as the Hollywood sign. The massive white fir tree from Northern California was lit with more than 18,000 multi-colored and energy-efficient LED lights. It was also adorned with 10,000 ornaments.
The 18th annual tree lighting ceremony featured a mix of free pop and holiday musical performers, which marks the beginning a nightly snowfall event. Guests will be able to experience falling snow every night at 6 p.m. and 8.p.m until the tree lighting ends on Dec. 31.
