The “Barbie” movie reportedly caused an international shortage of pink paint — and the same could be said of pink Christmas trees if the trend continues to spread.
And while some vendors are already sold out, other retailers still have pink trees available, both online and in store.
Amazon offers an assortment of pink trees, with prices ranging from $39.99 to as much as $2,663.99 for a 7-foot tree.
King of Christmas, a decorating company based in Pennsylvania, offers two sizes for its pink tree — which is now sold out.
Its 6.5-foot tree sells for $439 and its 7.5-foot tree goes for $549.
Walmart and Wayfair are also selling pink trees ranging in size and price.
