Louisiana Christmas Tree Prices – What to Expect This Year

(KMDL-FM) For some, the colors of Christmas are red and green, and the scent of the holiday is a refreshing evergreen. The people who see and feel Christmas that way are called women. The colors and scents of Christmas for we menfolk are more black and blue and Ben Gay Ointment. Yeah, it's time to get the heavy stuff out of the attic for holiday decorating, but we've got one question: how much is the Christmas Tree going to cost this year?

From the department of irony, we can say "Naturally," those with "artificial" Christmas trees are probably not going to notice a thing, as far as the price goes. You've already purchased your tree; all you need to do is dust it off, decorate it, and plug it in.

What Factors Could Make Christmas Trees More Expensive in 2025?

The crew at Southern Living Magazine asked the same questions that I was asking about real Christmas Trees, with inflation, tariffs, government shutdowns, and Brian Kelly's buyout at LSU, those are going to have cost a lot more this year compared to last year, right?

The folks at Southern Living asked the folks who grow our nation's Christmas Trees, the Real Christmas Tree Board, and in their comments, it was suggested that just when Americans needed a holiday break from higher prices, they were going to give us one.

How Much Will The Price of Live Christmas Trees Go Up in 2025?

According to Southern Living, 84% of retail growers have no plans to raise prices on Christmas Trees this year. That means that for an average Christmas Tree, you can expect to spend about what you spent last year, that figure computes to somewhere between $80 and $100.

From what we have learned, the cost of growing Christmas Trees has gone up, but not so much that producers feel the need to pass those extra charges on to the consumer. The supply of real trees appears to be very strong this year, and that should help keep prices in check as well.

The majority of people we surveyed said they have plans to put up their Christmas Tree over the Thanksgiving Weekend. The reason for that time frame? It coincides with the real beginning of the Christmas shopping season, and let's face it, with all of those family members in town, it's nice to have help putting up the tree, isn't it?
