At 20-meters tall , the world 's highest in-store Christmas tree is an intricate , horology-themed affair standing in France 's chicest department store , Galeries Lafayette . Never mind the baubles -- one of these Christmas trees is made of macaroons . Another , in Rome , is festooned with luxury handbags . Some go for glitz -- like the crystal-star-topped Rockefeller Center tree in NYC . The most expensive Christmas Tree ever sold was a giant fir that cost $24 million to build at an estate outside New York City.
