Zurich’s Singing Christmas Tree
Cancelled for 2020
One of the highlights of Christmas in Zurich must surely be visiting the Singing Christmas Tree. This gigantic Christmas tree is not like any other – it’s set on a podium and filled with smiling, singing faces and you can usually listen and enjoy their singing as you clutch your Glühwein. Unfortunately the Singing Christmas Tree won’t be taking place for 2020 – but take a look at the photos here and look forward for 2021, when hopefully it will be back in situ.
Located in a side street with its own little Christmas Market attached, it’s in Werdmühleplatz just off Bahnhofstrasse. It’s very close to the main railway station and easy to find.

If you get there early, there are benches located directly in front of the tree to sit on. If not you can stand right behind and watch as the singers (sometimes children, sometimes adults) dressed up in their costumes, take their places in the “branches” and give a rendition of a selection of carols and songs.
Zurich’s Singing Christmas Tree is usually in the square off Bahnhofstrasse from the day that the Christmas lights are switched on, until about 23rd December. After the last performance the “tree* is disassembled and packed away again for the next year.
