Are you a candle enthusiast? Well, brace yourself for the 42-metre tall Schlitz Christmas Candle in Schlitz, Germany. It's like a candle, but on steroids. Spoiler alert: it's not made of wax. Still, it holds the title of the world's largest non-wax candle, giving the Pennsylvania Peace Candle a run for its money.
The secret recipe? A red cloth elegantly thrown over a stone tower, with added Christmas lights for that twinkly effect. This tower, dating back to the 14th century, is all that's left of a once-majestic castle. Nowadays, it's the centrepiece of the town's Christmas market, attracting hordes of holiday-happy tourists. And the cherry on top? An elevator inside! So you can ascend this 'candle'—ahem, tower—and bask in the panoramic views. Just remember, no trying to light it!
