A sustainable, community-driven Christmas tree lighting ceremony - The Leela Ambience Gurugram

A sustainable, community-driven Christmas tree lighting ceremony

Gurugram, December 2025 - The Leela Ambience Gurugram Hotel & Residences marked the beginning of the festive season with the unveiling of “A Tree That Tells a Story”, reimagining its annual Christmas Tree Lighting into an experience rooted in community, craft, and conscious celebration.

This year’s celebration centred around a tree that was not merely decorated, but thoughtfully crafted to honour the hands and stories behind it. Instead of choosing a conventional design, the hotel collaborated with local artisans, who created each ornament using sustainable materials and traditional regional techniques. The result was a tree that reflected the artistry, emotion, and cultural legacy of its makers, demonstrating how luxury and responsibility can coexist with beauty and intention.

Adding to the warmth of the evening, children from NGO Sarvam Shakti filled the hotel with soulful Christmas carols, creating an atmosphere of joy and togetherness. Their performance underscored the hotel’s commitment to building experiences where every member of the community is welcomed, valued, and uplifted.

As the lights switched on, the moment became more than a ceremonial lighting; it became a celebration of purpose. The Leela Ambience Gurugram Hotel & Residences showcased how festive traditions can be reinterpreted with sensitivity, bringing local craft, sustainable thinking, and community participation to the forefront.

The evening concluded on a note of reflection and gratitude, offering guests a thoughtful blend of culture, artistry, and connection. With “A Tree That Tells a Story,” the hotel reaffirmed its belief that Christmas is not just a festival to be celebrated, but one to be consciously created.
