Live Christmas tree arrives in Sundance Square

Texas' tallest real xmas tree arrives in Fort Worth

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Downtown Fort Worth! The Sundance Square tree is going up this morning.

FORT WORTH, Texas - The tallest real Christmas tree in Texas arrived Monday in Fort Worth.

The 82-foot Norway spruce made its way to Sundance Square just before 11 a.m. It will be unloaded, and then a crane will lift it onto a stand at the center of the plaza.

This year’s tree traveled 1,236 miles from Cadillac, Michigan to Fort Worth, Texas.

It is the tallest live Christmas tree in Texas and is even 8 feet taller than this year’s Christmas tree in the Rockefeller Center in New York City.

After the tree is in place, it will stand for 24 hours before lights and decorations are added throughout the week, including hand-painted ornaments by local artists.

A whole lot of holiday magic at Choctaw Stadium in Arlington. From inner tube sledding to ice skating... there's activities for all ages. FOX 4's Paige Ellenberger checks it out.

The tradition of the Fort Worth community Christmas tree was started in 1947 by Fort Worth Star-Telegram publisher Amon G. Carter, Sr.

The formal tree-lighting ceremony is on Dec. 3.
