eaton centre christmas tree 2026

This is what Toronto's Eaton Centre Christmas tree looks like for 2026

The Christmas tree at Toronto's Eaton Centre lit up for the season on Thursday evening, marking what many consider to be the unofficial start of the holiday season.

Canada's tallest indoor Christmas tree debuted for the season in style with a projection-mapped countdown clock surrounded by hundreds of excited revellers, and it was quite the sight to behold.

The 114-foot-tall tree is celebrating its tenth anniversary at the mall, but this year, owner Cadillac Fairview has amped up the holiday display with a brand-new interactive feature that lets visitors customize the tree's lighting to create new patterns and colours.

Here's what the Eaton Centre tree looks like this year!

The tree will feature hourly light and snow shows, running from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays until Jan. 3, 2027.
