6abc Celebrates the Holiday Special

Philadelphia's City Hall is holiday central with lots of festive fun for the whole family.

It's almost 7,000 pounds and welcomes viewers to City Hall.

The Holiday Tree

Located on City Hall's north apron. The tree has a new audio soundtrack this year with greetings by well-known Philadelphians, including 6abc's Rick Williams and Cecily Tynan and holiday tunes sung by artists with Philadelphia ties. The soundtrack is on a 15-minute loop. The north side of City Hall is hosting the Craft Hall Pop up restaurant as well. 6abc is a proud partner in the holiday tree.
