Rockwell’s holiday charm is back—bigger and brighter than ever! The 2025 Light-Up Ceremony kicked off the season with sparkling lights, music, and festive activities for families and friends.
The night began at the North Court of Power Plant Mall with a lively performance by Madison Events, instantly setting the mood for the evening. The host welcomed everyone, reminding guests that Rockwell is a place where communities come together to celebrate the holidays. This year is extra special as Rockwell marks 30 years of bringing people together during the season.
Sparkling Trees and Festive Lights
Inside the mall, three Christmas trees are standing tall, with the largest reaching 50 feet and decorated with 90,000 lights and over a hundred ornaments. At the Plaza Garden, a 15-meter-high tree adds to the festive atmosphere. Across Rockwell Center, over 11,000 sets of Christmas lights illuminate nearly 200 trees, while over 105,000 meters of duralights line the buildings, turning the whole area into a glowing display.
This year, the decorations shine in warm shades of orange and gold, accented with yellow magnolia, giving Rockwell a cozy yet elegant holiday feel that’s perfect for photos and memories.
Fun, Shows, and Festive Experiences
The evening was packed with entertainment for all ages. Wizzo’s magic show wowed the crowd, followed by the cast of A Christmas Carol, bringing heartwarming holiday performances to the stage. Guests also had fun trying their luck at the Crane Game at the R1 Level Expansion and sipping on exclusive hot chocolate bombs at the South Court—featuring special flavors from Carmen’s Best, Amano, and Bucky’s—while soaking in the festive atmosphere.
Favorites Rocky the Panda and Santa Claus made special appearances, and kids joined in to help light up Rockwell Center, shouting “Merry Christmas!” in the countdown to the big light-up — followed by a dazzling display of fireworks that lit up the night sky.
Christmas Car Raffle
The much-awaited Christmas Car Raffle is back with an even bigger prize lineup, and this year is extra special as it celebrates the special milestone—three cars to celebrate every decade of Rockwell.
