Places to Celebrate National Christmas Tree Day in Hershey

Date: December 8, 2025

In honor of National Christmas Tree Day on Dec. 8, we’ve rounded up all the places where you can see beautifully decorated trees in The Sweetest Place on Earth. Read on to see some of the unique Christmas trees you'll find throughout the entire town of Hershey, Pa. today and during the holiday season.

Hersheypark Christmas Candylane

Hersheypark Christmas Candylane is open select dates through Jan. 4, 2026, for guests to enjoy twinkling lights, select rides and attractions (weather and maintenance permitting), visits with Santa and all nine of his reindeer, signature hot chocolate and some sweet Christmas tree experiences. 

During the seasonal event, Hersheypark has decked its halls with more than 5 million lights, including a 50-foot Kissmas Tree with a Hershey’s KISS at the top. The tree is located in a brand new spot in Hershey's Chocolatetown where the Kisses Fountain is normally found. You'll get great views of this Christmas icon from the ground and aboard the Candymonium roller coaster.

Admission to Hersheypark Christmas Candylane also includes TREEville, a festive trail of 25 trees that share the stories of The Sweetest Place On Earth. Guests can grab a signature hot chocolate and walk through the path around East Coast Waterworks as they look at trees representing the largest amusement park in Pennsylvania, ZooAmerica North American Wildlife Park, Hershey Bears hockey, Milton Hershey School and more.

The Official Resorts of Hersheypark

The Official Resorts of Hersheypark - The Hotel Hershey, Hershey Lodge and Hersheypark Camping Resort - have decked the halls for the holidays. Guests staying at any of these properties will see beautiful Christmas trees and festive decorations in the lobbies.

The Hotel Hershey

The Hotel Hershey is beautiful all year, but there’s something extra sweet about seeing the property adorned in lights, garland and Christmas trees during the holidays. As you enter the main lobby, you’ll be greeted by a display of poinsettias and miniature trees decorated with classic ornaments that are sure to get you in the holiday spirit. But while on the property, there are two additional trees you’ll want to see. 

Just upstairs from the main lobby, a gorgeous tree decorated in red, green and gold overlooks the historic Fountain Lobby, which was designed like a Spanish courtyard to reflect our founder Milton Hershey's travels. This spot is a favorite holiday photo backdrop and a tradition for many guests to visit year after year. After taking a photo, head outside through the formal gardens to 1933 Restaurant & Tavern Plaza, where you'll find another beautiful Christmas tree that our Hershey Characters helped us light during our annual Tree Lighting ceremony earlier this season.

Hershey Lodge

The lobby of Hershey Lodge is at its coziest with holiday decor, including the Lodge’s beautiful Christmas tree. This year, the tree is decorated with snowflakes and ornaments of chocolate brown and gold making for a sweet photo spot - maybe even with one of the Hershey Characters who roam the lobby on select dates and times. Guests can also admire the tree while enjoying a hot chocolate or a Hershey’s Chocolate Martini by the warm, cozy fireplace. 

Hersheypark Camping Resort

There are many trees across the 55 acres of Hersheypark Camping Resort, but a few have been decorated for the holidays this year. You’ll find a Christmas tree and more holiday decorations at the front desk inside Historic Landis Barn, plus festive wreaths and ornaments on the outside.

The Christmas Tree Showcase at Hershey Gardens

The Christmas Tree Showcase at Hershey Gardens is a merry and bright collection of professionally decorated Christmas trees created by local florists. Each tree features a variety of tree decorating styles and themes, while a stunning 14-foot poinsettia tree takes center stage. The Christmas Tree Showcase is on display from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily through Jan. 1, 2026 (closed Christmas day). It is included in admission and free for members.

Plus, guests can see the Student Tree Showcase of holiday trees, decorated with ornaments by local school students. The Welcome Pavilion and Butterfly Atrium will be decorated for the holidays, too!

Hershey's Chocolate World

Hershey's Chocolate World added even more magic this holiday season with their decorations! Guests can pose in front of a massive Christmas tree right inside the lobby. Visitors can also create a new holiday tradition by having their photo taken with Santa in front of the HERSHEY'S Holiday Chocolate House in a classic HERSHEY'S Chocolate Tour ride car with smaller Christmas trees lining the space! 

Plus, the HERSHEY’S Chocolate Tour Ride has its first holiday makeover in nearly a decade, featuring more than 2,000 twinkling lights, a festive soundtrack and 11 cheerful animatronic elves inspired by nostalgic Hershey Characters.

Guests can celebrate the season at Hershey’s Chocolate World with their new Holiday Savings Bundle, available through Jan. 4. For $44.95, guests can enjoy five attractions, receive a bakery voucher and get free parking—a value of over $100.
