Cities throughout Orange County, California, are ushering in the holiday season with annual Christmas tree lighting ceremonies and parades, but many events have gone virtual because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Anaheim still planned to hold its 26th annual Nutcracker Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony on Dec. 5 at the city’s downtown Feldhaus Circle, but spokesperson Lauren Gold told The Epoch Times that the city would be “doing things a little bit differently” this year.
