Downtown Orlando's lakefront park centers on a 72-foot Christmas tree with a synchronized light-and-music show, the fountain glowing red, green and gold, and a tribute display honoring lives lost to COVID-19.

Best time to arrive. Sunset in Orlando is around 5:31 PM in mid-December, fully dark by about 5:57 PM. A typical December night here bottoms out near 50°F, so dress for standing around outside.
