Singing Christmas Tree Zurich 2025
20th November – 23rd December 2025
The Singing Christmas Tree Zurich – A Highlight of Christmas in Zurich
One of the highlights of Christmas in Zurich must surely be visiting the Singing Christmas Tree. This gigantic tree is not like any other! It’s a structure in the shape of a Christmas Tree set on a podium in the centre of Zurich just a few minutes walk from the main station. When the concerts are taking place it is filled with smiling, singing faces as school children from all over Zurich (and adults too) sing carols and songs to the crowds below. You can see a video here to get an idea. It’s the perfect place to get into the holiday mood as you watch the performances with a Glühwein in your hand. It’s also located right next to of one of the Zurich Christmas Markets too.
The Singing Christmas Tree
The Singing Christmas Tree is a long established tradition in Zurich and has been going for more than 25 years.
Located in Werdmühleplatz just off Bahnhofstrasse
Located in a side street with its own little Market attached, it’s in Werdmühleplatz just off Bahnhofstrasse. It’s very close to the main railway station (about 5 or 6 minutes walk) 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.
The Singing Christmas Tree Christmas Market Werdmühleplatz
Alongside the Singing Christmas Tree you will find a small Christmas Market where you can buy mulled wine, apple punch, champagne, raclette, crepes or grilled sausages as well as garlic bread and fondue!
Zurich’s Singing Christmas Tree begins its run on the first day that the Christmas lights are switched on, the 21st December this year until 23rd December. After the last performance the “tree” is disassembled and packed away again for the next year. The Singing Tree has performances every day of the week – so see the schedule below and enjoy some festive cheer!
