The Christmas tree this year at St. Pancras International station in London celebrates the story of "Wicked", which is a prequel to "The Wizard of Oz" story, and it is a major theatre production and now a film. The story covers the characters of the wicked witch, Tin Man, Scarecrow, the good witch, wizard, and other characters. To celebrate this, a Christmas tree in the shape of the "emerald city" has been placed at the station.
In addition to the tree, there is a display of some of the props from the film, such as the wand and broomstick and a model of the train at "emerald city". Inside the "tree", visitors can view one of three "windows" to see a model of the "emerald city", witch's castle, haunted forest, poppy fields, and other sites from the "Wizard of Oz" and "Wicked" story.
A giant face of the wizard also appears on the structure. I love the movie "The Wizard of Oz", so I will no doubt see the new film.
St. Pancras International has promoted many brands over the years with their Christmas tree, which is a tradition starting from 2013. The past ones include:
- Book publisher (2023)
- Prince's Trust (2022)
- London Zoo (2021)
