  1. Is it “they’re banning Christmas” bollocks season already?

  2. Private company, they can do what they like. I can also refuse to buy it. Things really don’t have to be any more difficult than that.

  3. So?

    They probably have multiple styles, calling them all Christmas Tree isnt logical

  4. They’ve definitely done this just to get attention. Embarrassing.

  5. Why not call it an appeasement tree and be truthful about it

  6. Didn’t Reform cancel Christmas in Kent because they don’t have the money to put the lights up because of all the flags?

    Can’t wait for them to get into power 🥴🫠

  7. Everyone already knows it is a christmas tree, the name has changed because the fake trees have gotten so good you might be buying one that mimics a pine or a spruce. That is therefore a much more descriptive and useful name than “christmas tree”.

  9. Who actually cares? Call it a “No religion specific winter time festive tree” for all I care don’t make any difference to anyone what so ever.

  10. My real issue is that Tesco are selling real Christmas trees already. Not a chance in hell they’ll have any pine needles left come the week before Christmas.

  11. Just a pathetic company trying to rage bait.

    The fact rage bait has become this much of a thing is embarrassing.

  12. Excellent!!

    This should get the usual lot all worked up.

    This will be on r/ UK Breaking News (or whatever it’s called) with a load of ranty comments.

  13. My town centre just turned on their Winterfest lights.

  15. Is descustang Hun, wot is are cuntry cumming too!? 🤯 shaired in Pitcairn island xxx

  16. Good. The mid winter festival existed long before the invading christian Romans co-opted it and forced Christianity down our throats, while murdering their way through the local “pagans”.

  18. A Christmas tree is an evergreen tree ffs! More to the point there are several different kinds sold as Christmas trees so using the generic description makes sense.

  20. You guys are going to let the telegraph rage bait you for clicks? Really?

  21. Only doing this  to try and sell to non christians… this is just capitalism not wokeness

  24. It’s a Christmas tree. Who buys a plastic tree to decorate in the style of Christmas and calls it an evergreen tree? Fuck off, Tesco.

  25. It’s almost as if the selling of plastic trees like this at this time of year isn’t obvious, I mean it does look similar to my Summer Solstice plastic tree!

    Articles like this are for the gullible and stupid!

  26. In England, it’s a Christmas Tree. In other countries, with different cultures they can call it whatever they want.

  27. Rocking around, the everegreen tree, have a happy holiday….

  28. If it’s stupid nonsense why do you care so much lol

  29. Redditors calling this rage bait and posting angry comments at the existence of rage bait, have themselves been baited into rage. Ignorance abounds on this platform

  32. It’s to differentiate the green one from the white one that’s called arctic get a grip

  35. Good to know I can get my evergreen tree at Christmas and my gesture egg at Easter

  36. The Telegraph must be permanently enraged about everything. It can’t be good for them.
