HOWELL, Mich., Dec. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- There's little debate that a real Christmas tree brings joy to everyone who sees and smells it. But when is that joy best timed? Ah, now that's a debate. Some people would buy their real Christmas tree the day before Halloween if they could. Some like to wait until the Thanksgiving leftovers are gone before shifting into Santa mode, just out of principle (Give each holiday its due!). Others mean to get started early, but, well, life gets in the way. And still others embrace the more Victorian tradition of waiting until just a few days before Christmas -- or until Christmas Eve itself -- to put up their tree.

Key Points:

There's plenty of real Christmas tree season left and here are the facts you need to know:
A real Christmas tree brings joy.
In fact, 79% of real Christmas tree buyers even agreed that "If the cost of a real Christmas tree goes up this year in light of the rising costs of many consumer goods, I will still buy a real Christmas tree."
The Real Christmas Tree Board (RCTB) is the media's expert resource for insights about farm-grown Christmas tree.
American Christmas Tree Association (ACTA) does not represent real Christmas trees or growers.It is a 501(c)(3) corporation established in 2009 and has no known members representing the real Christmas tree industry.

When asked to rank various scents associated with Christmas, respondents said a real Christmas tree is their favorite smell of the season (56%) -- putting it ahead of cookies (50%), cinnamon (50%), hot cocoa (45%), and gingerbread (43%). Peppermint came in at 42%, followed by open fire (37%), and roasted chestnuts (16%).1 That probably explains why most of us can think of a bunch of Christmas carols that talk Tannenbaum, and not more than one that refers to those roasting nuts.

Key Points:

Real Christmas Tree Board releases first-ever data exploring the scent of a real Christmas tree as it debuts "Joy to the Real" Campaign.
"Joy to the Real" campaign heralds the "perfectly imperfect" journey to real Christmas tree joy.
It's rooted in the insight that an artificial Christmas tree is a product, whereas a real Christmas tree is something else entirely.
