Aluminum Christmas Trees were a big industry before this show came along.

In 1964, one of the hottest selling items around Thanksgiving was the aluminum Christmas tree. The Aluminum Specialty Company manufactured an estimated 150,000 trees that year. Then in 1965, A Charlie Brown Christmas aired. By 1970 the Aluminum Specialty Company had shut down all production of aluminum Christmas Trees.

In this episode, I discuss how and why a tree made entirely of metal became popular, and why (beyond Charlie Brown) it fell out of favor.
