The Christmas tree stands at the Grand-Place of Brussels till 4 January 2026.
This year, the tree comes from Wavre-Sainte-Catherine, in the province of Antwerp. It is a majestic Abies concolor, 20 metres tall and around 43 years old.
The Christmas tree will come to life for the first time on Friday 28 November, during the opening of Winter Wonders (from 6 pm).
A Christmas tree of solidarity
Under the artistic direction of Jean-Paul Lespagnard, the tree will take on a new form in 2025: it will become a link between tradition, creativity and social commitment. The carefully designed decorations embody the diversity, conviviality and cultural richness of Brussels.
After the holiday season, the tree will be recycled and the decorations auctioned off to raise money for the Brussels Food Banks. This will ensure that the spirit of solidarity lives on for a little while longer.
