Actress Elizabeth Banks helps Santa light what is being said the world’s “largest” Lego Christmas tree at Legoland California Resort at the 11th annual Tree Lighting Ceremony in Carlsbad, California.
Banks, a mother of two, stars as the voice of “Wyldstyle” in “The Lego Movie” being released on Feb. 7, 2014, and currently stars as Effie Trinket in the hit movie, “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.”
At the ceremony, Banks presented a check from Legoland California Resort for $10,000 to LA’s BEST (Better Educated Students for Tomorrow) which provides a safe and supervised after school education, enrichment and recreation program for elementary school children ages 5 to 12 in the City of Los Angeles.
Fireworks lit up the sky, snow fell from the rooftops of Fun Town and more than 11,000 LED lights illuminated the 30-foot tall Christmas tree after Banks and Santa pulled the switch to light the tree.
