'Wonky' Christmas trees being given away for free at this Tesco supermarket near you
A Tesco supermarket near you will be handing out ‘wonky’ Christmas trees for free this weekend - but you’ll need to be quick.
The ‘Perfectly Imperfect’ trees will be handed out at Tesco Southport Extra on Saturday, December 6 from 10am.
From unevenly spaced branches, to leaning ever-so-slightly to the side, these wonky Christmas trees wouldn't normally make the cut to go on sale in Tesco stores. But with Christmas being the time of giving, Tesco is giving these Christmas trees a second chance at fulfilling their Christmas destiny. And with new research from Tesco revealing that almost a quarter (24 per cent) of Brits pencil in the second weekend of December for putting up their Christmas tree, its perfect timing.
The research also revealed that when it comes to putting up the tree, it's never quite the wholesome experience romanticised in films and social media. Over two thirds of people surveyed by Tesco agree that the thought of decorating the Christmas tree is more magical than the reality. Four in ten will smash a bauble, over a quarter of pet owners will see their trees pulled over by their furry friends, and over a fifth of people will finish the decorating only to realise the lights no longer work.
But 87 per cent of people agree that Christmas doesn't need to be 'perfect' to be special and 74 per cent believe that it is the little imperfect moments that really make it feel like Christmas
The trees are available on a first-come, first-served basis, with one tree per household. Customers who pick up a perfectly imperfect Christmas tree will have the option to make a donation to Tesco's food charity partners Fareshare and Trussell.
