A giant Christmas tree lit up the sky on Friday night at the Araneta Center in Cubao, Quezon City, less than two months before Christmas Day.

 

The 100-foot Christmas Tree, with a large star on top, sparkled with blue and gold lights during its lightning ceremony at around 6 p.m.

 

Fireworks illuminated the sky while a shower of confetti filled the air as hundreds of spectators witnessed the lightning ceremony.
