CHICAGO (WLS) -- It's beginning to look like Christmas.

Now through Oct. 21, the City of Chicago will accept nominations for the city's official Christmas tree.

The family of the selected tree will get the opportunity to flip the switch and light the tree at Millennium Park on Nov. 18.

You can find more information on cityofchicago.org.

Chicago's official Christmas tree was moved from Daley Plaza to Millennium Park for the first time last year.
