The winter season kicks off in London’s Trafalgar Square with the annual holiday celebration showcasing a magnificent Christmas tree along with choirs singing festive Christmas carols.

This holiday event is one of the most popular Christmas tourist attractions

The majestic Trafalgar Square Christmas tree is a popular seasonal tourist attraction, along with the joyful holiday music being sung by choirs throughout the square.

The people of Oslo have been giving a Christmas tree to London’s Trafalgar Square since 1947 as a special thank you to Britain for its friendship and support during World War II.

This holiday event is one of the area’s most popular Christmas tourist attractions, drawing people from all over to celebrate the season.

Tourists and locals alike joined in the joy of the holiday season by singing carols with the Choir of St Martin in the Fields around the Christmas tree, followed by the lighting of the tree. Nelson’s Column is adorned with gorgeous Norwegian white lights, another amazing focal point in the square.

The Christmas tree itself will be lit up for all to enjoy from noon until midnight every day until the Twelfth Night of Christmas in early January.

As from today, until December 22, a different choir will be singing Christmas carols around the tree to raise money for a variety of charities between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m.
