Tesco brings back popular pop-up, pre-lit and pre-decorated Christmas tree
Tesco has brought back its popular pop-up Christmas trees, intending to offer a hassle-free festive solution for shoppers this season.
The artificial tree stands at six feet tall and is pre-lit and pre-decorated.
The supermarket giant’s pop-up Christmas tree aims to be a convenience for shoppers, eliminating the need for customers to spend time arranging lights and decorations.
This year’s range from Tesco includes three distinct designs, with a new red and white candy-striped option joining the collection.
The new design follows the success of last year’s models, which saw the retailer sell more than 8,000 pop-up trees.
With the addition of the candy-striped version alongside the traditional and silver tinsel designs, the supermarket is aiming to sell over 10,000 units.
The pop-up trees attempt to offer a simple setup process, requiring only the central pole to be placed in the stand before the tree is lowered over it.
The tree’s design is intended to fit in tight areas with not much floor space.
Assistant buyer for Christmas trees at Tesco Jessica Walsh said: “I love going all out with decorating my Christmas tree, but we know many of our customers are strapped for time and looking for ways to get in the festive spirit, without the hassle.”
She added: “The pop-up trees are narrower than a lot of other Christmas trees, and as well as being ideal for decorating a smaller space, they also pack back down into a small box for easy storage – the perfect fuss-free Christmas tree!”
The trees are priced at £26 for Clubcard customers and £40 for customers without.
