In November, 2025, global shopping destination South Coast Plaza invited Baruch/Gayton Productions to create and produce a new version of the annual Christmas Tree lighting ceremony, on behalf of the legendary Segerstrom Family.  The result was a 45 minute holiday spectacle featuring performances by various resident companies and artistic partners of the Segerstrom Center for the Arts.  The event was a gift to the Orange County California community, with free admission, attended by more than 2,000 friends and family.  The finale was the dazzling illumination of the  nearly 100 foot tall Christmas tree with more than 130,000 lights.

 

Baruch/Gayton Productions is also proud to have created and produced the South Coast Plaza Pavilion of Holiday Trees. The live exhibit and online auction of artistic Christmas trees attracted thousands of visitors and raised funds for 36 different arts organizations. Please see the following press release for more details on this unique event.
