Tesco is set to distribute numerous complimentary Christmas trees for just one day.
These unique Christmas trees, which are considered “wonky,” would typically not be available for purchase due to imperfections like uneven branch spacing or slight leaning. However, Tesco plans to give them away at select stores on Saturday, December 6. Recipients are encouraged to make a donation to food charities Fareshare and Trussell.
The free trees will be offered at various locations, including Colney Hatch Extra, Borehamwood Extra, Hammersmith, Southport Extra, Goole Superstore, Glossop Superstore, Bristol Brislington Extra, Cardiff Extra, Dundee Riverside Extra, and Glasgow Maryhill Extra. Distribution will begin at 10 am on a first-come, first-served basis, limited to one tree per household. Comparable Christmas trees elsewhere are priced at £13.99 from Aldi and £14.99 from Home Bargains.
Tesco’s UK CEO, Ashwin Prasad, expressed the sentiment that imperfect moments, like these unique trees, bring charm to the holiday season. A recent survey commissioned by Tesco revealed that a significant portion of Brits do not feel the need for a “perfect” Christmas, with many finding joy in the imperfect aspects of the festive season.
In addition to the tree giveaway, Tesco is offering Clubcard members double points for every £1 spent on gift cards throughout December, including third-party gift cards. Clubcard members can accumulate points through various Tesco purchases, with rewards available for redemption starting at 150 points.
