As the holiday season approaches, families across the country are preparing to bring home one of the season\u2019s most iconic decorations: the Christmas tree. According to data analyzed by Square from thousands of Christmas tree sellers in 2023, the best time to buy a tree depends on whether you prioritize cost savings or tradition.<\/p>\n
Square\u2019s research revealed that Black Friday is the most popular day for purchasing Christmas trees, with average prices hitting around $112. For those who prefer to wait, the first Saturday in December sees a slight drop in prices, averaging $105.<\/p>\n
However, for bargain hunters, waiting until the week before Christmas can lead to significant savings. By then, more than 90% of trees are sold, and sellers reduce prices to clear out remaining inventory. On average, consumers who wait until this time save 32% compared to Black Friday prices, with tree costs dropping to $85.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe cheapest time to buy a Christmas tree is right before Christmas. The best time is whichever day maximizes joy in your household,\u201d says Ara Kharazian, Square\u2019s research lead.<\/p>\n
Despite fluctuating prices, the demand for real Christmas trees continues to grow. Farms and retailers are seeing increased sales year over year, with many reporting significant activity on opening day.<\/p>\n
For those looking to get the best deal, Square\u2019s data shows that patience can pay off, with prices dropping as Christmas nears. However, for many, the tradition of selecting a tree early and kickstarting holiday festivities may outweigh the potential cost savings.<\/p>\n
Retailers are gearing up for another busy season, and with the average Christmas tree cost varying by only $20 to $30 throughout December, buyers have flexibility in finding the right time to purchase based on their priorities.<\/p>\n
