The Desire for Authentic Holiday Experiences
Marsha Gray, the executive director of the Real Christmas Tree Board, highlighted that this year's findings show consumers deeply value the unique aroma and overall ambiance that real Christmas trees provide. Customers can expect the joyful experience of selecting their perfect tree.
The Sensory Magic of Real Trees

A Tree for Everyone This Holiday Season
The survey indicates that last year, an impressive 98% of consumers succeeded in finding a tree that they loved, with 91% saying they had no trouble locating a purchase source. Shoppers can look forward to even more options this year.
Interestingly, a recent grower survey revealed that 84% of real Christmas tree growers do not anticipate raising prices, and many may even offer reduced rates. While retail prices will vary, 90% of last year’s buyers agreed that their tree was worth the cost.
Embracing the Christmas Spirit with Convenience
Gray expressed excitement over the positive retail experiences and the abundance of available trees: "With strong supply levels and numerous shopping locations, this is an ideal opportunity to incorporate a real Christmas tree into holiday traditions."
Experiences from First-Time Buyers
For those considering their first real Christmas tree this season, positive feedback from last year's first-time buyers can be encouraging. Almost all of them enjoyed the switch, with nearly 90% expressing regret for not making the change sooner. Ninety percent also hope their children will cherish the joy of real trees in the future.
Reasons Behind the Switch to Real Trees
