Holiday Cheer in Berlin and Brandenburg: Christmas Tree Vendors Smiling Wide
As the jingles fill the air and the adventure of Christmas draws near, Christmas tree sellers in Berlin and Brandenburg are grinning ear to ear. With just a week left before old Saint Nick's grand visit, these vendors are feeling content with the business they've managed to secure so far. A spokesperson from the Christmas tree association remarked that more households are opting for the real deal this year. However, it's still too early to make a definitive call on the numbers.
In 2021, approximately 25 million festive evergreens graced German households, according to the same source. The spokesperson attributed this surge in part to shrinking dwellings. "Households are becoming cozier and cozier," she pointed out.
Meanwhile, plastic Christmas trees remain a niche market. During the holiday season, artificial trees may account for as little as 5% of the overall sale.
