What's New in the Christmas Tree Industry

A Simple Look at 2025’s Christmas Tree Trends

Introduction

The holiday season is coming, and the Christmas tree industry is busy as ever. There are some important changes and trends this year that everyone—whether you grow, sell, or buy trees—should know about. Here’s a look at what’s happening with Christmas trees in 2025, from supply to new ideas and how people are choosing their trees.

Supply and Availability

This year, most growers say there are enough real and artificial Christmas trees, but some areas might see fewer trees than usual. Things like weather, fewer workers, and higher delivery costs are making it harder to get live trees in some places. To help, many farms are offering different types of trees and planning their harvests carefully. Artificial trees are also selling well, especially as more people shop online and get ready for the holidays early.

Going Green

Many Christmas tree farms are working to protect the environment. They use natural ways to control pests, choose organic fertilizers, and take care of the land. More places are also helping people recycle real Christmas trees after the holidays by picking them up or turning them into mulch. Companies that make artificial trees are starting to use recycled materials and encouraging people to reuse trees for many years.

What Customers Want

People care more about where their trees come from and are buying local, supporting small farms, and picking trees that grow well in their area. Unusual tree types, like blue spruce and Fraser fir, are becoming popular. Decorating trends are changing too, with some families going for simple looks and others creating themed displays. Picking out a tree has become a fun event, with many families enjoying visits to tree farms, special activities, and holiday events.

New Technology

The Christmas tree industry is using more technology than ever. Many farms and stores now sell trees online, offer virtual tours, and let people pay without cash. Farmers are also using computer data to guess how many trees people will want, and businesses are advertising on social media to reach more customers.

Looking Forward

As we get closer to the holidays, the Christmas tree industry is growing and changing. By using new technology, being careful with the environment, and listening to what customers want, growers and sellers are helping people have a great holiday season. Whether you like real or artificial trees, this year brings lots of options and excitement.

Remember to support your local Christmas tree businesses this year!
