What Does The 2025 Twelve Days of Christmas List Cost?

PNC Financial Services is out with it's Christmas Price Index, the tabulation on what the final price tag would be on all the gifts mentioned in the famous tune "Twelve Days of Christmas"

Your true love would have to spend an all-time high  $51,476.12  this year compared to the $49,263 bill in 2024.

Prices increased by about 4.5% due to inflation, with big jumps in the price for "gold rings" and performers like " pipers piping and drummers drumming".  If you buy every thing on the Twelve Days of Christmas list including the repetitions from each round of the lyrics, the splurge will total over $218,000

The 42nd annual PNC Christmas Price Index calculates the cost of everything included in the popular Christmas carol  (Did PNC commission the song I wonder as a marketing vehicle?)

PNC's report shows prices are up for these items;

• Six geese-a-laying up 3.3%
• Nine ladies dancing up 3.5%
• Ten lords-a-leaping up 8.1% with rising entertainment costs
• Eleven pipers piping rose a modest 2.2%, the same as 12 drummers drumming

PNC's Christmas Price Index is a holiday tradition based on the Consumer Price Index from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
