The holiday season in Central Florida is filled with sparkling lights and festive traditions, but few experiences bring the community together quite like “A Tree-Mendous Affair” at Rosen Shingle Creek. Returning for 2025, this cherished event invites visitors to enjoy beautifully decorated trees created by local nonprofit organizations, all while supporting meaningful causes across the region.

From November 25 through December 21, guests and locals can visit Rosen Shingle Creek to admire the displays and cast a vote for their favorite tree. What began as a creative seasonal showcase has grown into a celebrated Orlando tradition that draws thousands of visitors each year.

A Celebration of Giving and Community Spirit

Hosted by Rosen Hotels & Resorts, “A Tree-Mendous Affair” highlights the generosity and dedication of Central Florida’s nonprofit community. Each participating organization designs and decorates its own holiday tree, transforming the halls of Rosen Shingle Creek into a festive gallery filled with personality, color, and purpose.

This year’s lineup includes well-known organizations such as The Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida, Runway to Hope, Habitat for Humanity, Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, and The Coalition for the Homeless, among others. Every tree tells a story, reflecting the mission and impact of the group behind it.

Visitors are encouraged to stroll through the displays at their own pace, making the experience a perfect outing for families, hotel guests, and anyone looking to enjoy a holiday tradition rooted in community connection.

Vote for Your Favorite and Support Local Nonprofits

One of the most anticipated aspects of the event is the voting. From opening day through December 21, attendees can select their favorite tree. The organization whose tree receives the most votes will be awarded a $5,000 contribution from the Harris Rosen Foundation.

This contribution not only celebrates creativity but also provides meaningful support for the winning nonprofit’s ongoing work. It’s a simple and festive way for the community to participate in giving back during the holiday season.

Free and Open to the Public

“A Tree-Mendous Affair” remains free for all to attend, making it one of the most accessible holiday experiences in Orlando. Whether you are staying at the hotel or visiting from across town, the event is open to everyone throughout its run.
