The price of a Christmas basket in 2025 is expected to increase by 4.53%, according to a preview of the Consumer Price Index (IPC), released this Tuesday (18) by the Economic Research Institute Foundation (FIPE). In 2024, the increase was 9.16%.
The basket consists of turkey, pork loin, solid tuna, spaghetti noodles, box of chocolates, panettone with candied fruits, red wine, champagne, orange and strawberry nectar juices, tomato sauce, green olives with pits, hearts of palm, grated cheese and extra-virgin olive oil.
All items on the list increased, with the exception of olive oil, which saw its price reduced by 23.06%. The biggest increases occurred in the prices of kilos of turkey (+13.62%), olives (+12.53%), and box of chocolates (+10.81%).

Other items, common at Christmas parties, were also analyzed in the study – although they did not make up the basket. Poultry (chester type) registered an increase of +13.85%, while the increase in filet mignon was +9.70%. Market peach (-6.85%), in addition to kilos of ice cream (-6.99%), on the other hand, recorded declines.
“The main message that this study sends, year after year, is that the numbers reinforce the importance of advance planning to save money during the end of year festivities”, highlighted the IPC-FIPE coordinator, Guilherme Moreira.
