#WickedCoolTree: Control the Colors of City Hall’s Holiday Tree Decorations

City Hall is all hooked up to the Internet, right down to the Christmas tree in the main lobby.

The tree, set up at the Government Center building for the holidays, is adorned with lights that change colors when people type in a preference on Twitter. Using the hashtag #WickedCoolTree, people can pick between an array of hues and light up the decorations any way they want, be it blue, green, red, or any other combination of options.

“Visitors to City Hall will be delighted by the #WickedCoolTree, and it will also be a great way for virtual visitors to engage,” said Mayor Marty Walsh in a statement about the digitally manipulated Christmas decorations. “This is a unique and innovative way to ramp up the holiday spirit in Boston.”
