From Pac Man To Porcelain, Five of The Most Spectacular and Unusual Christmas Trees From All Over The World.
1. The Multicolored Murano Glass Christmas Tree (Italy):
Giovanni and Simone Cenedese, motivated by a great passion for their work and for their own city, created this monumental installation for Christmas together with the Architects Studio DDF. This gigantic project stands 24 feet tall and is made with 1,000 multicolored handmade and mouth blown glass tubes.
2. The Swarovski Crystal Color Changing Christmas Tree (Paris):
Housed inside the classic Paris department store Galeries Lafayette, the 70-foot-tall tree is dripping in 120 Swarovski crystals and rests on a chandelier base with 5,000 smaller crystals. The large round crystals actually change colors from white to blue to red to gold.
3. The Porcelain Plates and Mugs Tree (Belgium):
The Taste Tree is a Christmas tree made up of upcycled plates and cups sourced from local families by Inge Vanluyd and Stefan Vanbergen of the creative firm MOOZ. The tree stands 9 meters high and 6 meters in diameter and features around 5,000 items of crockery. The plates and cups were sourced from Hassalt residents who raided their cupboards for odd plates and cups of white porcelain that may or may not include a gold or blue design.

4. The Heineken Beer Bottle Tree (Shanghai):
Made with 1,000 bottles of Heineken beer, this tree stands in Shanghai's commercial center of Nanjing Road.

A Shoe Lovers' Holiday Fantasy. Red-Soled Christmas Trees For Christian Louboutin Boutiques.
Shoe lovers and Foot Fetishists will delight in these designer Christmas Trees. Studio XAG has created fabulous red-soled Christmas Trees inspired by Christian Louboutin's classic Pigalle spike-heeled pumps that are featured in the windows and interiors of the Christian Louboutin boutiques in Paris and Geneva. As admirers of the brand know, the red sole is an attribute of the luxury label's stunning shoes.
A cast of the brand's classic Pigalle shoe served as the bulk of the design for the trees: 
Each red-soled tree is topped with a sparkly Pigalle open-toed pump in various colors as the 'star':
The trees in the windows are set against mirrored backdrops and rotate for the full effect:

The Most Fashionable Christmas Tree For A Couture Christmas.
This is the prelit 5' Christmas tree designed for those who have an interest in fashion. Exclusively from Hammacher Schlemmer (but sadly, sold out already), this tree eschews the geometric lines of typical conifers, taking its shape instead from a classic couturier's dress form. 
The high collar, long sleeves, wasp waist, and hoop skirt are clad with faux pine needles, creating a topiary effect. The tree is pre-strung with 150 warm white LEDs that enhance without overpowering its silhouette and the dress comes accessorized with eight removable iridescent red globe ornaments. Topped with a matte-finish metal star, the sturdy metal frame rests atop a filigreed base, while the dress' 15" hem leaves ample clearance for gifts. 
Assembly required. Plugs into AC with 6' cord. 60" H x 23 1/4" W x 12 3/4" D. (9 lbs.)
Price $249.95
