Winter in paradise comes early in Palm Beach County, where some venues and malls are already in full swing of hosting holiday trees, “snow” and lights galore.

These holiday tree lightings are perfect for the entire family and often include a variety of holiday activities, from free concerts, Santa photos, elf sightings, and a lot more. Plus, following the annual tree lighting, most of these venues continue to offer festivities throughout the holiday season.
