The 24th Annual Christmas at The Grove Tree Lighting Celebration marked the official start of the Los Angeles holiday season, bringing tens of thousands together for a festive, high-impact live event at The Grove. Produced in partnership with Caruso, the annual tradition blended live entertainment, spectacle, and broadcast storytelling into a moment that resonated both on-site and with audiences watching from home.

Hosted by Lance Bass, the evening featured live performances from Nick Carter, Dasha, Loud Luxury, Kevin Woo, Liamani, and additional surprise guests, delivering a dynamic, multi-genre soundtrack to the celebration. Signature moments—including the lighting of the iconic Grove Christmas tree and the season’s first snowfall—anchored the experience, while a full drone show, fireworks spectacular, and Santa’s grand arrival elevated the event into a true holiday spectacle.

Designed for both live and broadcast audiences, the celebration extended beyond The Grove through a FOX one hour TV special also produced by Mirrored Media, ensuring the magic reached viewers across the country. Every moment was carefully timed and produced to translate seamlessly on camera while maintaining an immersive, unforgettable experience for guests in attendance.
