Mount Lavinia Hotel hosted the grand Christmas tree lighting ceremony on 26 November. Dignitaries, corporate partners, hotel guests and the media attended the event. The tree was lit up by four religious leaders and US Ambassador Julie Chung under the fireworks and melodious performances of the choirs of St. Sebastian’s College, St. Thomas’ College, and St. Peter’s College. 

Guests gathered around the majestic tree which was adorned with twinkling lights and shimmering ornaments, creating a mesmerising spectacle that signified the beginning of the festive season at Mount Lavinia Hotel.
