Here’s a quick guide showing you all the Christmas Tree locations on every map in Escape from Tarkov.

Customs Christmas Tree – Middle of Dorms

The Christmas Tree in Customs is located between the three-story and two-story dorms, making it extremely dangerous. The loot spawns around the tree, most of which are directly on the snow. They are quite hard to spot, but easy to loot when you get used to it.

If you ever spawn near the Smuggler’s Boat or by the broken wall closer to the two-story dorms, you should directly run to the Christmas Tree since you’ll most likely be the first one there.

Interchange Christmas Tree – Old Scav Camp (Co-op)

The Christmas Tree in Interchange is beside the old Scav Camp (Co-op) extraction point. Since they expanded Interchange in patch 1.0, the PMC spawn here has been moved slightly closer to the transit and railway points.

Players go to the new camp near the railtracks just north of this Scav Camp so it could be a hotspot for PvP.

The valuable loot is scattered around the Christmas Tree, the couch next to the tree, and the card with the presents on the other side of the tree.

Woods Christmas Tree – By the Shore Near Sawmill

The Christmas Tree in Woods is located by the shore next to the Sawmill. It is kind of an extension of the map since this path isn’t available outside the winter event. However, it is actually the same spot as the last Christmas Tree event, unlike other maps.

The loot is scattered around the tree, the couch, the table next to the couch, on top of the wooden planks, the chair, the floor next to the dead body, next to the generator, the boat, and the wooden planks leading up to the tree.

Reserve Christmas Tree – Open Area Near the Knight Building

The Christmas Tree in Reserve is located near or past the Knight building, closer to the train extraction point. It is by the open area near several small bunkers, which is widely open to the dome sniping spot.

The loot is also scattered around the tree as well as beside the presents and the wooden planks. The loot spots are more dense, so you can see more valuable loot in one area – based on a couple of runs, hitting this location without a backpack and using the no backpack extraction.

Shoreline Christmas Tree – Middle of Resort

The Christmas Tree in Shoreline is located right in the middle of the Resort. Compared to last year’s spot near the west side, it is now much more dangerous, since you will be exposed from almost any window in the vicinity.

You can find the loot spots around the ledges, on the benches, around the tree, and near the presents. While the spot might be dangerous, it is easy to get out since there’s a lot of cover, assuming they miss a lot. It might be a good idea to use a painkiller before looting the area, too.
