Tesco is set to distribute numerous complimentary Christmas trees for a single day. These Christmas trees, known as “wonky trees,” are typically not sold due to minor imperfections like uneven branches or a slight tilt. However, Tesco will be offering them for free on Saturday, December 6, in specific stores. The supermarket encourages recipients to consider making a donation to the food charities Fareshare and Trussell. The free trees will be available at various Tesco locations 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 joy in imperfect moments during the holiday season. A recent survey commissioned by Tesco revealed that a significant percentage of Brits associate the second weekend of December with putting up their Christmas tree. Despite this, the survey showed that most people believe that a perfect Christmas is not necessary for it to be special, with many agreeing that imperfect moments make the season truly feel like Christmas.
In other news, Tesco announced a promotion for Clubcard members, offering two points for every £1 spent on gift cards throughout December, applicable to all third-party gift cards purchased at Tesco stores. Clubcard members can earn points on various purchases, including groceries, fuel, Tesco Mobile, and Tesco credit card transactions. Members can accumulate points to receive Clubcard vouchers, with 150 points equating to a £1.50 voucher for use at Tesco stores.
