French jeweller and watchmaker Cartier is ushering in the holidays this year with a 13-metre-high (43-foot) Christmas tree, set against the panoramic backdrop of Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour, at the K11 Musea promenade in Kowloon.

The tree was unveiled on November 26 during a lighting ceremony that was attended by the city’s glitterati, who took in a range of festive performances.

Twenty choirboys kicked things off with a series of songs that delighted the audience. Things then moved into high gear with jazz music, a six-year-old beatboxing prodigy and parkour stunts that captivated and surprised the assembled guests.

Adorned with giant red and gold baubles, the dazzling tree will be on the waterfront until January 2. Daily light displays will embellish the tree and the piles of wrapped gift boxes beneath it, while musical interludes will showcase up-and-coming local singers, a cappella groups and bands.

The musical performances will take place at 3pm on weekends, providing plenty of photo opportunities for shoppers and passers-by, who will also get the chance to pose with Cartier’s beloved bellboys, clad in their signature red uniforms.
