Tesco appears to have changed the name of its Christmas trees to 'evergreen trees'.

The supermarket giant is selling the 6.5ft 'Luxury Evergreen Tree' at £60 on its website and in-store.

The move has caused many Brits to unleash their fury on social media, with the move being branded as 'woke nonsense'.

Susan Hall, leader of the Conservatives in the London Assembly, was vocal about her thoughts on social media, writing on X: 'Wretched ridiculous nonsense, call it what it is, it's a Christmas tree. There, I said it out loud. I'm fed up with all this woke stupidity.'

Olympic medalist, Sharron Davies, called it 'a bit silly', saying on the social media platform: 'It's a Christmas tree that people put up at Christmas to celebrate Christmas!'

Another user accused the supermarket of political correctness and called for the public to boycott Tesco. While some users started questioning whether Tesco was offended by the Christian holiday.

Tesco told the Daily Mail: 'We are at Tesco and have a range of real and artificial Christmas trees in store as part of a wide selection of Christmas products to help our customers celebrate Christmas this year.'

It said it is called an 'evergreen tree' to make it clear the type of Christmas tree inside the box.

The supermarket giant added that it is still selling and advertising 'Christmas trees' and hasn't decided to stop celebrating Christmas.

On the Tesco website, you will still be able to find other Christmas trees listed as so, along with other essentials under the Christmas tab.

Some of the products still branded as 'Christmas trees' are sold by Tesco, and range from £5.19 to £159.99.

The retailer coped some heat in 2021 after selling a 7ft-tall plastic 'evergreen tree' for £80 without a reference to the Christian holiday. 

The move by Tesco follows many others similar stances, including in 2022 when the University of Brighton advised staff not to say 'Christmas' and instead call it the 'winter closure period'.

In 2023, Christmas markets across the UK, including in County Durham, were rebranded to 'winter markets' as a move to be more inclusive.
