Most aren't poisonous, except maybe a Yew or Juniper, but neither of these species are common for christmas trees.  Most are Doug Fir, Spruce, Noble, etc...    I've had "Spruce Tea" a few times in my life, and it was... novel.

It's best to use the young fresh tips though, as the older woody ones aren't great.

Food uses
Pine cones
Main article: Pine nut

Some species have large seeds, called pine nuts, that are harvested and sold for cooking and baking.

The soft, moist, white inner bark (cambium) found clinging to the woody outer bark is edible and very high in vitamins A and C. It can be eaten raw in slices as a snack or dried and ground up into a powder for use as a thickener in stews, soups, and other foods, such as pine bread. A tea made by steeping young, green pine needles in boiling water (known as "tallstrunt" in Sweden) is high in vitamins A and C.

Just go back to McDonalds and order your super size big mac meal and leave the rest of us who like to experiment with the world we live in alone.

Aww man. Have you ever heard of a salad? Vegetables? Fruits? Have you ever heard of experimenting? Have you ever heard of nature? Have you ever heard of anything but modernized secular culture? Do you have downs syndrome?

No disrespect intended, all of the above are valid questions.

gin is made from juniper berries and foods as well as teas made from them,
though some shrubs and such are mistaken for juniper and are toxic
