Nashville, TN (December 4, 2020)
This year five-time GRAMMY-nominated Christian music artist Matthew West has released a new holiday single, “The Hope of Christmas,” and has taped a special acoustic performance of the inspiring single for the 98th National Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony. Due to COVID-19-related public health concerns, the National Parks Service and National Park Foundation did not host a live audience for this year’s event, but instead a virtual ceremony is available to watch on-demand now throughout the holiday season at www.thenationaltree.org.
