These Celebrities Will Host 2017 National Christmas Tree Lighting

WASHINGTON, DC -- The National Park Service has announced that Kathie Lee Gifford and Dean Cain will host the 2017 National Christmas Tree Lighting next week, according to a report.

WTOP reports that Gifford and Cain will headline the ceremony on the Ellipse at President's Park on Nov. 30, which will be aired on the Hallmark Channel on Dec. 4.

Also performing at the event are The Beach Boys, Wynonna, the Texas Tenors, and Jack Wagner.

"In 1923, President Calvin Coolidge walked from the White House to the Ellipse to light a 48-foot fir tree decorated with 2,500 electric bulbs in red, white and green, as a local choir and a 'quartet' from the U.S. Marine Band performed," states the National Christmas Tree website. "93 years later, this American holiday tradition continues to bring citizens together to share in a message of hope and peace."
