NextImg:Bah, humbug: Macy's ditches Christmas tree at its Boston store


Macy's location in Boston, Massachusetts, is skipping tradition this year and will not host its annual Christmas tree lighting.

The tree lighting has been a major event for the city in the past. A reason for skipping the tree's lighting this year has not yet been provided by the retail outlet, though Michael Nichols, president of the Downtown Boston Improvement District, noted that Macy's Boston location underwent "changes in staffing" this year.

Macy's welcomes Mayor Michelle Wu and special guests from Make-A-Wish to kick off the holiday season and continue its iconic holiday traditions with the Boston Christmas Tree Lighting and the unveiling of the holiday windows on Tuesday, Nov. 23, 2021, in Boston.


"Macy's, for a variety of reasons on their end, decided not to move forward with the tree this year," Nichols said. "Probably a chance it comes back in a future year. They had changes in staffing and so on, which led to them not having one downtown this year."

Due to not having a tree lighting ceremony from the store this year, Boston has focused on setting up Christmas decorations, with Nichols boasting about the city's 500 wreaths on city lampposts and almost 100 Christmas trees.

In January, the Boston Improvement District will be unveiling a new outdoor public art installation, though Nichols has revealed sparse details about the project, saying people would enjoy coming "downtown in the winter" to see it.

The Washington Examiner contacted Macy's Boston location for comment.
