Charlotte Street Hotel📍 London, United Kingdom 📸 Paul Fuentes
Artificial trees today are made from plastic, but the first ones? A bird of a very different color. Back in 1880s the first artificial Christmas trees were introduced to households in Germany, when deforestation became a serious concern. The solution? Goose feathers. Goose was a common holiday dish, which meant feathers were plentiful - and with a little green dye, Germans were more than happy to branch out and bring Christmas to life🪿

 Radio City Music Hall 📍 NYC, USA 📸 L. Busacca/Getty Images | KICKING IT INTO TRADITIONYou may be familiar with the high-kicks, but we bet your don’t know how the Rockettes got their name.

 Kasbah Bab Ourika 📍 Ourika, Morocco 📸 Brenda Bergen | THE BEST SEAT IN THE ATLASHigh above Morocco’s Ourika Valley is a kasbah that seems perfectly placed - almost too perfectly. Built from earth, shaped by light, and surrounded by peaks and orchards, it’s the kind of place that makes you wonder who found it first… |

10 MILLION
Did you know, around 10 million artificial Christmas trees are bought in the U.S. every yeay? The trees may be faux, but the festive cheer is anything but. By comparison, an estimated 25–30 million real Christmas trees make their way into living rooms each season.
What do you prefer? Something pre-lit, pencil-thin, or towering to the ceiling designed to last for years - or a slightly lopsided classic, complete with that natural scent, sticky sap, and maybe a squirrel or two? Let us know below!
What's your Christmas tree pick? 🎄 |
