This year, Macy’s introduced its first-ever “Singing Christmas Tree,” comprised of over 100 Macy’s employees who performed an original Christmas song, “Together at Christmas,” to honor the moment. Their voices blended beautifully on the float that was presented by Delta Airlines and the song’s timeless message reminded us of the importance of being together with loved ones during the holiday season.”
