There\u2019s something in the air this Christmas. <\/p>\n

A hotel in England unveiled its mammoth 25-foot-tall holiday tree made of 100,000 balloons to create some jolly fun \u2014 and help a good cause.<\/p>\n

Dubbed\u00a0The Balloon Christmas Tree<\/a>, the holiday creation stands outside Moor Hall Hotel and Spa in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, to spread holiday cheer and raise money for charity.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Balloon artist Naomi Spencer, owner of Balloon Color Blending, came up with the idea \u2014 a labor of love. <\/p>\n

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\u2019s branded.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has never been done in the U.K. before. People don\u2019t realize the scale of building a balloon Christmas tree,\u201d Spencer\u00a0told the Birmingham Mail.<\/a><\/p>\n

When it was posted on the\u00a0sapling\u2019s official Facebook page<\/a>, commenters gushed over the breathtaking sight, calling it \u201cstunning\u201d and \u201ctruly magical.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There\u2019s something in the air this Christmas.
