Hershey Gardens Celebrates with the Holidays with Christmas Trees, Kids’ Crafts and Santa

The Milton & Catherine Hershey Conservatory at Hershey Gardens has decked its halls with designer Christmas trees this holiday season. In keeping with the Yuletide spirit, The Christmas Tree Showcase at Hershey Gardens is a merry and bright collection of eight professionally decorated Christmas trees, with a 14-foot poinsettia tree taking center stage. Each decorated Fraser Fir is the creation of a different local florist—and each one is beautiful.

On display from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily through Jan. 1, 2020, The Christmas Tree Showcase at Hershey Gardens is the work of eight local designers, including: 

Families will also have the option of purchasing a special pair of glasses ($1) that help them to see something special in the tree lights.
