World's Most Unusual Christmas Trees

Posted by Alex in Christmas, Neatorama Only on December 3, 2007 at 5:26 am


This Christmas, don’t go with that ho-hum, run-of-the-tree-farm tree your family always gets year after year. Try something new and unusual…. Like these 10 strange Christmas trees, for instance:

Upside Down Christmas Tree

The upside of this upside-down 7-foot pre-lit Christmas tree is that you’ll have more room for presents underneath! This strange tree was originally designed for specialty stores to display ornaments while using as little floor space as possible.

It’s $600 and is currently sold out at Hammacher Schlemmer: Link

Whoville Christmas Tree

In Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, the Grinch may have realized that Christmas doesn’t come from a store, but in this case, the Whoville desktop Christmas tree does come from one! Link

Charlie Brown’s Pathetic Christmas Tree

Good Grief! If Cindy Lou’s Whoville Christmas tree above wasn’t sad enough, maybe you’ll like this one: Charlie Brown’s Pathetic Christmas Tree as featured in Charles Schulz’ excellent comic strip Peanut…. This tree needs you!

Afterall, Linus van Pelt did say "It’s not a bad little tree. All it needs is a little love." Link

Mountain Dew Christmas Tree

It’s probably too late for you to start doing this one: the awesome Mountain Dew Christmas Tree. It took about 3 months of soda drinking (approximately 400 cans of Mountain Dew) and 4 days of building. Link (with video clip)

Grolsch Beer Christmas Tree

Mountain Dew? Weaklings… Try Grolsch beer instead: Link

Knitted Christmas Tree

If you’re into knitting and crafts, why not knit yourself a Christmas tree? Like this big one done by about 1,000 knitters at Eden Project: Link (scroll down)

The Shelf Tree

Don’t want to bother with shedding pine needles or the hassle of putting together an artificial Christmas tree? You can make one out of books and magazines like this Shelf Tree by Frank Visser of IJM [Flash] instead.

World’s Most Expensive Christmas Tree

Last year, Singapore jeweler Soo Kee Jewellery created this Christmas tree with 21,798 diamonds totaling 913 carats and 3,762 crystal beads. The tree looked like (and was actually worth) a million bucks! Link

Giant Christmas Tree

This is the mother of all Christmas trees: a gigantic 7-story "tree" made from 350 regular-sized artificial trees! Approximately 70 staffers of Yilong Media company of China constructed a steel framing and then stacked this pyramid of Christmas trees. Link

Festivus Pole

Not celebrating Christmas? Are you celebrating Festivus [wiki] instead? Then you’ll need this Festivus Pole!

In case you don’t know anything about Festivus, it’s a made up holiday popularized by the TV show Seinfeld. The holiday includes such traditions as the "Airing of Grievances," in which you tell people how they disappointed you over the past year, and the "Feats of Strength," where the head of the household is wrestled to the floor.

The photo is Mark Metcalf ("Maestro" from Seinfeld) standing with his Festivus Pole at his restaurant Libby Montana in Mequon, Wisconsin. More photos here: Link

You can get Festivus Pole from The Wagner Companies here: Link

    Aw, the Charle Brown tree is too darling! I might have to get one. Once I convinced my dad to buy the last remaing tree at the store on Chistmas Eve so it wouldn't be lonely all because of that show.

    And the Dew tree is awesome! File that in the "Why didn't I think of that?" folder.

    I made a gift card tree on the wall of my apartment. It's not 3D, but I collect them so I have a bunch. They're all Christmas gift cards too!

    I see you saved the best for last, even tho it's not a Christmas Tree ... it's a Festivus Pole. They're 2 completely different holidays.

    The upside down tree disturbs me. Looks far too much like green female pubic hair for my liking....

    The shelf tree has to be my favourite. So clever! I'd never know what I was looking at if I wasn't told.

    I have to agree with Jezebel about the shelf tree. It's my favourite too. I got a bonsai christmas tree this year. I like bonsai anyway so when I found this perfectly formed 18 inches tall in a shop on Sunday I had to get it. I thought that was unusual until I saw these!

    The beer tree is oddly pretty, even more so than the most expensive tree.

    A friend of mine decorated his Christmas tree exclusively with Keystone Light beer cans one year. It was a thing of beauty!

    My only Christmas tree this year is the little plastic Charlie Brown Pathetic Tree that my husband bought me for Christmas last year. It even came with a little Linus blanket to wrap around the bottom.

    We used to live overseas in the Philippines. We never had a tree in the tradtional sense. We had a quilted tree. We just roll it out and hang it on the wall every year.

    What is wrong with you people - It is CHRISTMAS, the birth of Christ - I was appalled with the upside down christmas tree it is satanic, and the beer tree, soda tree, etc... God will strike you down for who ever invented this upside down christmas tree.

    I bought the Charlie Brown Christmas tree this past year for my mother. I found a soft little blue receiving blanket to put around the bottom, and a 15 light set of battery operated led twinkle lights to go on the branches. It looked very sweet.

    My friend then bought me a pink tinsel fiber optic tree for Christmas....so we had 3 trees in the house!
