Come Christmas and everyone is bursting with ideas to make their tree stand out amongst all. Adding more shine and bling to it, rather making it all blingy is the Christmas tree in Europe. Europe's most expensive Christmas tree is made by Munich gold dealer Pro Aurum with 2,018 gold coins topped with a golden star. The tree is worth 2.3 million euros or USD 2.6 million. At first impression, it may come across as the chocolates wrapped in gold and silver foils but they are real gold coins.

The entire tree is about three-metre high and took about an hour to be put together. Talking about the gold rates the spokesperson said, "We certainly had problems in the first half of the year. The gold rate was flat for months, there was no movement in the market and physical demand was relatively low. That has changed in the second half of the year, as we have seen a clear revival of the market."
