Srilanka’s Christmas Tree Made Guinness World Record

A Christmas tree was built at the Galle Face grounds last year as part of a three day carnival in the Galle Face Green in Colombo during the Christmas season. Although this construction was condemned by many, it has finally made it to the Guinness records as the world’s largest artificial Christmas tree.

The Guinness World Records said the largest artificial Christmas tree measures 72.1 m (236 ft 6.58 in) tall, and was achieved by Arjuna Ranatunga Social Services (Sri Lanka), in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on 24 December 2016.
