A video showing flames engulfing a Christmas tree inside what appears to be a shopping mall is being circulated on the internet as recent visuals from the United Kingdom.
What does the post say?: The video carried text that said, “Islamist Jihadist Burned Christmas Tree in UK.” The user had shared the clip with a caption saying, “Hey world and Indian opposition watch this. Christmas Tree Burned in the UK Shocking.”
(More archives of similar claims could be found here, here, and here.)
What are the facts?: The video dates back to December 2024, when a Christmas tree caught fire reportedly due to a short circuit inside a mall in China‘s Chengdu. This made the viral claim false.
