flag Artificial Christmas trees and lights will be 10%–63% more expensive due to new China tariffs, but live trees remain stable.

flag Artificial Christmas trees and lights are expected to cost 10% to 20% more this season, with lights potentially rising up to 63%, due to new tariffs on imports, primarily from China. flag Most mass-market decor is made overseas, and shifting production to the U.S. is deemed impractical due to high costs and specialized labor. flag Supply of artificial trees may drop 15% as retailers import fewer units. flag In contrast, live Christmas trees remain stable in price, as most are grown in the U.S. or Canada and benefit from tariff-free trade under USMCA. flag Despite higher costs for artificial decor, holiday spending is projected to exceed $1 trillion.
