It's hard to find a more magical destination than New York for a Christmas trip... During the holiday season, the Big Apple is decked out in decorations to its (un)measure.
The spruce tree that stands every year in front of Rockefeller Center is probably the most famous Christmas tree in the world.
Standing between 20 and 30 meters tall, it is undoubtedly one of the 5 most beautiful Christmas trees in the world. It shines with a thousand lights because it is decorated with 8 km of lights and a star made of 3 million Swarovski crystals!
It is one of the most popular shows for New Yorkers at this time of year. The lighting of this tree is a tradition that dates back to 1933, when Rockefeller Center was still under construction.

If you don't plan to leave the borders of France for your Christmas trip, you can go see one of the 5 most beautiful Christmas trees in the world in Paris.
All you have to do is head to the Galeries Lafayette boulevard Haussmann in the 9th arrondissement. This famous Parisian department store is the largest in Europe.
But it is also known for hosting a spectacular Christmas tree every December under its huge Art Nouveau dome. There is no shortage of space since this glass dome reaches 43 meters above the ground.
The tree at Galeries Lafayette in Paris is just as monumental. It is decorated on a different theme each year, for example on the theme of the movie Moulin rouge or on the theme of the Arctic with paper mache decorations made by the artist Lorenzo Papace...

Another must-see destination for a Christmas trip without leaving the borders of France is of course the city of Strasbourg.
As the birthplace of the Christmas market tradition, during the holiday season, Strasbourg boasts one of the 5 most beautiful Christmas trees in the world! Just go to the Strasbourg Christmas market (the oldest of its kind in France) to admire this impressive specimen.
Standing 30 m tall and weighing 6.5 tons, this tree stands out for its size and beauty. It is one of the largest Christmas trees in Europe: no less for the city of Strasbourg, which claims the title of Christmas capital!

Of course, the city of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil is not the first idea that comes to mind when looking for a destination for a Christmas trip... And yet, the city is worth a visit between the end of December and the beginning of January because it celebrates the holiday season in a grand way.
Did you know that Rio de Janeiro is famous for its floating Christmas tree? This huge structure of more than 80 m high was built on a boat for the first time in 2014.
It is one of the 5 most beautiful Christmas trees in the world as it dominates the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon and proudly displays over 3 million lights!
Maybe you've never heard of the medieval town of Gubbio in northern Italy... Yet it can boast one of the 5 most beautiful Christmas trees in the world and especially one of the most amazing!
It is not a Christmas tree per se, but a tree pattern made of lights on the slopes of the mountain.
It takes more than 10 km of cables and 1000 multicolored lights to make this amazing 650 m long Christmas tree appear. The shooting star that adorns its top is composed of more than 250 lights alone.
This tree of light has made Gubbio famous as it entered the record book in 1991 as the largest Christmas tree in the world. Bellissimo!
