Bellevue's Singing Christmas Tree is Back

Bellevue Baptist Church presents it's 2011 Singing Christmas Tree: Destination Christmas.

In a hectic train station full of holiday travelers rushing to meet loved ones, three strangers—and three stories—are on a collision course that will change their lives forever.

Their journey is about to become their "Destination: Christmas"!

The Singing Christmas Tree is a Memphis tradition like no other, and Bellevue Baptist Church proudly presents "Destination: Christmas." This beloved annual production weaves a modern-day story with the timeless truth of Jesus' birth.

For the Singing Christmas Tree's 36th year, "Destination: Christmas" will feature original story and music; the signature 44-foot Christmas tree; over 100,000 lights; a cast, choir, and orchestra of over 400; and a performance worthy of Broadway itself. This year's production creates an uplifting story and vividly brings to life the miracle of Christ's birth.
