All Christmas Tree Locations in Escape from Tarkov Winter 2025 Event

The Winter 2025 Event is live and thriving in Escape from Tarkov, and one of the most important tasks is to find the Christmas Trees on different maps.

The Christmas Trees will provide you with different loot that you can add to your inventory. You can also find various Christmas Ornaments from the trees, and then use them in your hideout. If you’re confused about where to find these trees, this guide will fix your problems.

All Escape from Tarkov Christmas Tree locations

You can find a total of six Christmas Trees. All six are on different maps, so that’s something to keep in mind. I have marked the locations for all six to help you find them easily.

Customs

You can find the Christmas Tree between the two-storey and the three-storey dorms. Not only is this spot dangerous, but you’ll find a bigger tree right beside the correct one. However, the Christmas Tree will have decor on it. The easiest spawn point to reach this location is near the Smuggler’s Boat.

Interchange

You’ll have to visit the old Scav Camp extraction point. This area has had a few design changes since update 1.0. You can find the new position near the railtracks, and there should be plenty of enemies at his location. The tree is behind a wired fence near a train bogey.

Reserve

Go near the Knight Building, where the train extraction point is located. It’s near the small bunkers, and the area is quite open (so be careful of enemy fire). You’ll find several trees in this location, so look for the one that has decor on it. Some of the loot is scattered around, so look carefully along the ground to pick up everything.

Shoreline

This one is relatively easy to spot as it’s in the middle of the Resort. Look for it in front of the Admin building. However, I got taken down multiple times in this area, so keep that in mind. The Christmas Tree at this location will be brightly lit up with decor, so it’s hard to miss. You’ll find all the loot at the base of the tree.

Woods

You’ll find the Christmas tree by the shore near the Sawmill. The tree will be on the piece of land that extends into the lake, and there are no other similar landmarks to confuse you. This location is a repeat of last year if you played Escape from Tarkov in 2024. The loot here is scattered around the tree, so make sure to look into the planks, the corpse, the boat, and the generator.

Lighthouse

Go to the bright by the sunken house that takes you to Lightkeeper. You’ll find it by the shore, and you’ll also have to keep enemies that can spawn at this location.

The last week of December in Escape from Tarkov has become an active time for players to grind, as they can use various recipes at a Christmas Tree to get different items.

This Christmas Tree can be found inside your own hideout. There are six Christmas Trees spread across different maps. You’ll find Christmas Ornaments from these trees that you can bring back in your inventory. Using them at your hideout will allow you to get different rewards, and this guide will provide you with all available recipes.

For starters, you’ll have to find the Christmas Trees to get the Ornaments. You’ll also need to find plenty if you’re looking to maximize this event. There are some exciting recipes to try out. Tangerine is one such option that is required for more advanced recipes. You can also find Tangerine from Christmas Trees, but the odds appear to be low.

If you’re approaching the endgame stage and close to level 35, crafting the LedX will be immensely helpful. Stimulants are also a great choice, and there are different ones available based on your needs. You can craft them for your own requirements, or store them to sell later at a profit. Ultimately, the choice depends on your needs and how many resources you can manage to find.
