While critics question the cost, Green Party councillor Oliver Moran loves the festive cheer they bring to neighborhoods, even calling some areas “competitive” for tree placements. Spending has hovered around 77,000 euros annually, with a slight uptick in 2024 and dip in 2025 — a hefty but beloved tradition that’s lighting up the city, one pine tree at a time.
