How much would the ’12 Days of Christmas’ gifts cost you in 2024?

JACKSON, Tenn. — If your true love’s holiday shopping list includes 12 Drummers Drumming, 11 Pipers Piping, 10 Lords-a-Leaping, and all of the others gifts from “The 12 Days of Christmas,” that’ll cost you almost $50,000 this year.

PNC Bank is out with its 41st annual “Christmas Price Index,” which calculates the change in price consumers can expect to pay for the items featured in the classic carol.

According to the company, the cost of all those gifts for your true love increased 5.4% — doubling last year’s 2.7% increase and exceeding the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer Price Index (CPI) October year-over-year reading of 2.6%.
