pnc christmas price index

 
 

Have you ever wondered how much a partridge in a pear tree actually costs? PNC has. For more than 30 years, PNC has calculated the prices of the twelve gifts from the classic carol "The Twelve Days of Christmas." The result is the PNC Christmas Price Index®, a unique and whimsical holiday tradition that makes learning about the economy fun.

In 2018, PNC did something different: The DIY CPI. We partnered with 12 talented makers to create do-it-yourself interpretations of each of the 12 gifts—one per maker. The gift was shared on the maker’s social channels and featured on the PNC CPI website and social channels.
