As one of the important components of Christmas, the Christmas tree originated in Germany and gradually became popular around the world, becoming one of the most important traditions in Christmas celebrations.

Data shows that the vast majority of American respondents in 2019 have plans to buy a Christmas tree. But there is a difference between buying a real Christmas tree or buying an artificial one. People who buy real Christmas trees are concentrated in the 18-29 year old group, accounting for 33%. Among all age groups, the proportion of purchasing artificial Christmas trees is higher than that of purchasing real Christmas trees. Among them, the proportion of people over 60 years old is the highest, at 55%; the proportion of people aged 30-59 is the second, accounting for 51%.

Environmental issues have always been at the heart of the "true and false Christmas tree" debate. In November 2018, the American Christmas Tree Association, which is funded by artificial tree makers, released a "life cycle assessment" in which the environmental consultancy it commissioned claimed that if an artificial Christmas tree could be used for five years, it would be less likely to be cut down than one per year. A new pine tree is more environmentally friendly.
