It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas tree season, but some firs are bigger than others. The honor of the tallest Christmas tree in the world belongs to the California towns of Fort Bragg and Willits, according to a study that was shared with Travel + Leisure by Playcasino.com, which reviews the online casino industry. The area's more than 200-foot beauty is actually a living redwood, decorated by the Skunk Train, which transports passengers through the forest to marvel at the tree's sheer height.

The state of New York is known for many things, but playing small is not one of them. New York is known for doing things in a big way: Niagara Falls, the Empire State Building, the bright lights of Times Square, the Adirondack Mountains, the Hudson River Valley, Central Park, Woodstock, the Apollo Theater, the New York Knicks, and so much more. And if you are visiting this awesome state before the end of the year, many delightful experiences await you. With the colder temperatures and snowy winters, the holidays seem just a bit more festive in New York.
