Those who have had enough of the contemplative Christmas season can end it in style and send Christmas trees whirling through the air.
A high-energy start into the new year: Ikea's traditional "Knut" Christmas tree throwing championship is all about throwing Christmas trees as far as possible. As a rule, each participant gets one attempt. However, those who register online in advance can throw three times. There are various small prizes for particularly good throws. The best throwers over the age of 18 will receive a shopping voucher.
