LANSING, Mich. – The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) has selected the official 2025 state Christmas tree, a 68-foot spruce from Sault Ste. Marie in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Sault Ste. Marie resident Linda Ried donated the tree in honor of her grandparents, Lawrence and Nettie Richey. The spruce will arrive in downtown Lansing Saturday, Nov. 1, to grace the Capitol lawn for the 2025 holiday season.
“I was shocked when I found out our tree was selected as the 2025 state Christmas tree,” said Linda Ried. “I don’t remember a time when the tree wasn’t in the backyard, but my grandparents played an integral role in my life since I was a young girl, so it means a lot to be able to make this donation in their honor.”
The tree will be harvested Thursday, Oct. 30, and transported to the Capitol with help from the Michigan Association of Timbermen, the Great Lakes Timber Professionals Association, and DTMB's Christmas tree crew. Once at the Capitol, local Boy Scout troops will continue the tradition of untying the tree. The HI-Ball Company of Lansing will provide a crane and crew to hoist the spruce into place near the intersection of Capitol and East Michigan avenues.
Once in place, the City of Lansing's forestry team will prepare the tree for the lighting scheme and decorations developed by the Michigan Capitol Commission and the Lansing Board of Water & Light. The entire journey will culminate with a tree-lighting ceremony Friday, Nov. 21, at the 41st Annual Silver Bells in the City celebration. Rain or shine, dignitaries will flip the switch that turns on thousands of twinkling lights at approximately 7:30 p.m.
