The record for the largest human Christmas tree has just been broken by Thailand. 852 kids between ages 6-15 stood in a “Christmas tree formation” at a Thai shopping mall.
The previous record was held by 672 participants in Germany (although 13 people were deducted because they did not stay in the Christmas tree shape for the required time).
