CORAL GABLES, FLA. (WSVN) - An annual tree tradition took place at Merrick Park.

7’s Belkys Nerey flipped the switch on the 50-foot tree at the festivities at 405 Biltmore Way in Coral Gables, Wednesday night.

It took a second to light up the night, but the luminescence delivered for the holiday faithful.

There were interactive activities for the kids, including an appearance by Santa himself.

It was a perfect night with perfect weather and a beautiful way to mark the start of the holiday season.
