Christmas trees of the United States & Canada!

Miami, United States


As we spent the Christmas period in the United States and Canada, we thought it would be great to capture the most beautiful and interesting Christmas trees from our travels. The decorations and lights illuminated every city we visited and made them seem all the more magical.


New York - We didnt find the one we were expecting to see in Times Square (!!) but the Natural History museum and Rockefeller Center trees more than made up for it, along with the magnificent Swarovski crystal star.

Washington DC - The White House tree was of course magnificent, and the tree outside the Capitol wasn't half bad either!

Philadelphia - Some beautiful examples of USA Christmas decorations, one in the park and one in the mall

Toronto - This spectacular bell-shaped hanging Christmas tree stole the show in Canada, followed closely by the Ferrerro Rocher delicious looking tree!


Niagara Falls didnt have the best trees, in fact the little town had only one we could find. The decorations at the Falls most certainly won our hearts though - who needs a tree when you can illuminate 2 giant cascading waterfalls?!!!

Chicago -
Without a doubt the best and most extensive collection of trees, with a huge collection in the Navy Pier, a true Winter Wonderland.

They gave us some real inspiration for next year's tree, with feather and flower decorations for a modern twist.

Atlanta - And presenting to you the Atlanta Ritz Christmas tree, although captured through the window I must add, and not as we dined on oysters & caviar! Small, understated, and fabulous!

Miami - The last State in our Christmas tour, and the one where we celebrated the big day.

All of the above Christmas trees were wonderful to admire, but there were two very special ones that stood out for us...

For me, it had to be the Miami Christmas palm trees, sprinkled with gold lights & stars, truly capturing the Christmas vibe in the sunshine by the sea.

For Sup, the Washington DC sense of humour won his vote - a skyscraping crane adorned with a Christmas star!!!!!!!!!

After a crazy last month in the UK, hustling at car boot sales and on ebay, spreading joy to charity shops all over Reading and squeezing every last possession into any place we could find, we finally made it out with just one piece of hand luggage each and 2 immense backpacks - Black Thunder,...
