There’s something in the air this Christmas.
A hotel in England unveiled its mammoth 25-foot-tall holiday tree made of 100,000 balloons to create some jolly fun — and help a good cause.
Dubbed The Balloon Christmas Tree, the holiday creation stands outside Moor Hall Hotel and Spa in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, to spread holiday cheer and raise money for charity.
The all-balloon spruce, which is covered by a dome to ensure none of them pop, was assembled over five days by a group of 20 volunteers consisting of engineers, blowers and a design team.
Balloon artist Naomi Spencer, owner of Balloon Color Blending, came up with the idea — a labor of love.
Each balloon can be sponsored for $3.30 or people can purchase a memorial one for $13.19. For $165, they can buy one that’s branded.
“This has never been done in the U.K. before. People don’t realize the scale of building a balloon Christmas tree,” Spencer told the Birmingham Mail.
When it was posted on the sapling’s official Facebook page, commenters gushed over the breathtaking sight, calling it “stunning” and “truly magical.”
