Ring in the holiday season like a classic Hallmark movie, with the annual Christmas tree lighting returning to Ybor City this week.

Alongside the Christmas tree, attendees can enjoy a classic visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus, and hot chocolate and cookies. Tampa mayor, Jane Castor, will also be in attendance to present the annual lighting.

“We invite you to come out and celebrate the most magical time of the year,” the Ybor Chamber wrote in a press release. The annual event started in 2010, and is held every November in Ybor City.

There’s no cover for the Ybor City Christmas tree lighting on Wednesday, Nov. 20, from 6 p.m.-8 p.m. at Centro Ybor.
