Help us keep New Zealand's largest Christmas Tree up next year

At 27 metres tall to the tip of the star, the Hamilton Christmas tree is over 6 stories high and has the claim to fame as New Zealand's largest Christmas tree. Located in the centre of Hamilton at Garden Place annually from the end of November through to New Years, the tree lights up the city and the faces of those who see it each year. Thousands of people come from around the region to Hamilton at Christmas to see the tree and watch the nightly show of lights at 9pm.

However, the tree is now over 15 years old and is need of a new frame. Hamilton Christmas Charitable Trust is appealing for support to keep the tree shining brightly in Garden Place once again in 2025. The trust is looking to work with local fabricators to recreate the frame rather than source a new one from overseas.

As a charitable trust, we raise money each year to ensure free events are held for the children and families of our city and region. The trust can only do this through generous sponsorships, grant funding, donations and fundraising. Helping with a donation toward this project ensures that families can enjoy the good things about Christmas at no cost well into the future.
