Hundreds of guests cheered as Britney took the stage to flip the switch on a 30-foot Christmas tree, decked out in red and gold décor, along with hundreds of dazzling white lights. The ceremony also featured a holiday choir performance from Las Vegas’ Doral Academy while the Fern Adair Conservatory for the Arts got the crowd pumped up with a performance to Britney Spears’ “My Only Wish (This Year).” The night wasn’t complete without a stop from Santa and his Elves who handed out gifts to attendees.
