7 Most Beautiful Christmas Trees in the World
Beautiful Traveling Places

There's nothing more exciting than looking at, buying or decorating Christmas trees to start the Christmas season. There's just something magical about them. Seeing them light up and twinkle through the fir branches (which smell divine, might I add). But perhaps my favorite part about Christmas trees is that no tree is the same. They may all look the same in their natural form, but once a family buys one and decorates it, it transforms to reflect them and their personalities. Their favorite ornaments, traditions, and colors make it unique and beautiful to fit their character.

So, if you're stuck in a library studying for finals or working overtime and stressed out about life, here's a few of the most outlandish, unique Christmas trees from around the world that are sure to light up your eyes for a moment.

1) World's Largest Floating Christmas Tree, Rio de Janeiro

This nearly 280 foot tree, located in Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas in Copacabana, lights up the city with its annual event that includes fireworks, music and dance. The tree has a different theme each year. Are you wondering what it looks like at night? Look no further:


2) The Galeries Lafayette Haussman, Paris

The Galeries Lafayette, a renowned department store in Paris, creates an elaborate Christmas tree underneath their 100-year old dome every year. The tree above was made out of thousands of Swarovski crystals.


The partisan store's theme last year was "Christmas from another planet", which included a light show twice a day.


3) Hansaplatz, Dortsmund, Germany

Scaling a height of 147 feet, the Hansaplatz marketplace has a magnificent piece of work sparkling among it. This tree is uniquely made out of 1,700 individual spruce trees stacked together within a frame of glistening lights. How cool is that?!


4) Piazza Venezia, Rome, Italy

The extraordinary Christmas trees found around piazzas and the coliseum will be sure to take your breath away with their light features and beauty (not to mention being surrounded by remarkable historic landmarks).


5) Rockefeller Plaza, New York City, USA

Of course, the Rockefeller Christmas tree is not to be forgotten. Standing among the city's skyscrapers, this beauty embraces the Christmas spirit when it comes to life in the lighting ceremony.


6) Trafalger Square, London, United Kingdom

The beautiful, statuesque tree in Trafalger Square is graciously donated by Norway every year since 1947 to show their gratitude for Britain's support during World War II.

7) National Christmas Tree, Washington D.C., USA

This picture-perfect Christmas tree is donated by GE Lighting every year. For the 2016 design, GE created red, white and blue lights with twinkling stars descending down the tree. The lighting ceremony is hosted by the President of the United States and First Lady.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
