The idea is that anyone around the world has the possibility to take part in this event from home. It is "a way to show the impact of Champs-Élysées Christmas Lights throughout the world," said the Champs-Elysées committee. To take part, you will need to register for free before tomorrow, November 20, online here. You'll have to wait until November 22 to connect to your personal account to access a countdown so that you click the digital buzzer at the right time.
The ceremony will kick off at 7PM Paris time on Sunday, November 22 (2AM Hong Kong time on Monday, November 23), and will be livestreamed. Each digital participant will be able to book their own light, corresponding to an address on the Champs-Elysées. Moreover, participants will be able to add a short, 140-character personal message to their light; the message will also be broadcast on the event's platform.

For the moment, the number of reserved lights has not been published but the "total number of participants will also be displayed in a spirit of federation and unity," added the Champs-Elysées committee. The city of Paris will also broadcast the event on a dedicated platform from November 23 to January 6, 2021.
