Sky-high spirit! This Balzan home just set a national record with Malta’s largest rooftop Christmas light tree
Balzan’s skyline just got a festive upgrade!

Christmas decorations are officially leveling up in Malta, and this time, the record has been set right on someone’s roof!

The Malta Records team recently visited a private residence in Balzan to officially recognise a festive first for the islands: the largest Christmas-tree structure made entirely of lights on the roof of a home.

Standing at a striking 8.7 metres tall and 3.4 metres wide, the illuminated installation transforms the property into a towering beacon of Christmas cheer. The spectacular creation was built and installed by Mr Peter England, earning him a brand-new national record just in time for the holidays.

Visible from afar and radiating pure festive magic, aside from acting as a massive signpost for Santa’s sleigh, this glowing rooftop tree is a reminder of the little (and big!) joys that the festive season can bring, especially when it comes to creativity and a truckload of twinkling lights!

Looks like Santa won’t have trouble finding this house!

The little creature grows not larger than 7cm so might not be easy to spot at first!

They were both rescued at the beginning of July, both far too young and small to survive without help!
