How much will a Christmas tree cost in 2026 and when is it better to buy it

Preparation for the New Year can significantly hit the purse of Ulyanovsk residents. In 2026, Russians will have to pay up to 10 thousand rubles for a live tree, and up to 15 thousand for an artificial one.

According to the expert of the Popular Front Nikolai Shmatkov, the cost of a living New Year tree up to 1.8 meters high will be from 4 to 10 thousand rubles. An artificial tree of medium size will cost buyers 10-15 thousand rubles.

For those who prefer artificial trees, the expert recommended not to postpone the purchase until the last days of December. Despite the pre-holiday discounts, favorite models by this time can be disassembled.

But with the purchase of live fir should not be rushed. It is better to buy it a few days before the New Year, so that the tree does not have time to crumble by the festive night. You can buy spruce in advance if you can store it outside at sub-zero temperatures.

Note that these prices are all-Russian. The cost of Christmas trees directly in Ulyanovsk may vary.
