The public is invited to join Providence O'Christmas Trees on Aug. 7 for the newly reimagined Taste of O'Christmas Trees, a cocktail party where guests will select some delicious appetizers, in addition to the signature cocktail for the Dec. 3 dinner auction and gala.

In the past, attendees have helped Providence O'Christmas Trees choose which signature cocktail and mocktail to serve at its December dinner auction and gala. This year guests will also have the chance to choose the delicious appetizers to be served at the Dec. 3 gala.

Each appetizer will be paired with one cocktail and one mocktail, which guests can sample and vote on separately. The selected cocktail, along with its mocktail, will be featured at the Gala cocktail hour.

Guests are encouraged to purchase Christmas Coins to vote for their favorite cocktail and food. Guests who buy $50 or more worth of Coins will be entered to win an exclusive prize.

This event is sponsored by the Westin Seattle and Morrison Healthcare. To reserve a spot, go to 2025 Taste of O'Christmas Trees.

All proceeds benefit Providence O'Christmas Trees, which supports Providence Mount St. Vincent, Providence ElderPlace PACE and Providence Supportive Housing. Providence O'Christmas Trees champions the best of Providence's mission by supporting many critical and underfunded ministries in our area. Since 2000, Providence O'Christmas Trees has raised more than $23 million to help fund charity care and the invaluable services within King County ministries. This year's goal is to raise $1.65 million to support these ministries. This 3-day celebration includes the Family Preview on Monday, Dec. 1; the Silver Bells Luncheon on Tuesday, Dec. 2; and culminates with the Gala Dinner & Auction on Wednesday, Dec. 3.
