Tesco is set to distribute numerous complimentary Christmas trees for a single day only. These “wonky” Christmas trees, typically not for sale due to minor flaws like uneven branches or a slight tilt, will be handed out at select Tesco stores on December 6. Tesco encourages recipients to consider donating to food charities Fareshare and Trussell. The giveaway will take place at various locations including Colney Hatch Extra, Borehamwood Extra, Hammersmith, Southport Extra, and others. The trees will be available starting 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, emphasized the importance of finding happiness in imperfect moments, stating that these unique trees can still bring charm to any home. A recent survey by Tesco revealed that many Brits view Christmas as special even without perfection, with 74% believing that imperfect moments make the season feel truly festive. The survey, conducted by Censuswide, involved 2,000 UK adults between August 22 and 28, and December 1 and 2.
In other news, Tesco announced a promotion offering Clubcard members double points for every £1 spent on gift cards throughout December. This promotion covers all third-party gift cards purchased at Tesco stores, automatically adding double points to Clubcard accounts. With approximately 24 million Clubcard members, Tesco rewards one point for every £1 spent on groceries, two points for every liter of fuel purchased, and additional points for Tesco Mobile and credit card transactions. Clubcard members can redeem vouchers with a minimum of 150 points, equivalent to £1.50 to spend at Tesco.
