A LARGE Christmas tree that stood proudly in Taunton town centre has had its future revealed by the council.
Donated by Langford Lakes Christmas Tree Farm, Taunton's 2025 Christmas tree was part of the festive decorations introduced by Taunton Town Council. This year, the council spent £44,750.23 on the Christmas lights in Taunton, including the lights on the tree.
Thousands of people walked past the tree spectacle during WinterFest 2025 - an event the council is still seeking feedback on.

On November 23 2025, the lights on the tree were jointly turned on by 'local hero', SCCC captain Lewis Gregory, and Taunton mayor, Cllr Martin Strauss. The event was deemed a big success in terms of people attending, and thanks were paid to Langford Lakes Christmas Tree Farm on the night for donating the tree.
But the question remains: what has become of Taunton's Christmas tree?
The large tree will now be mulched down and used to 'enhance' parks across Taunton, the council said.
A spokesperson for Taunton Town Council said: "While our Christmas decorations may be gone for another season, the Christmas tree is still being put to good use.
"Our team has mulched it, and it will be spread across our parks to support new planting and help our green spaces thrive. The tree will be used to enhance our parks in the Spring.
"A great way to give back to the environment and close the festive season sustainably."
