Baby, it’s cold outside. So why leave the house when Uber can deliver holiday cheer right to your door?
This week the company introduced the Uber Eats holiday hub, where customers can order everything from stocking stuffers to yuletide decor.
The festive HQ is also home to Uber’s Holiday Shop, which provides on-demand delivery and pick-up of Christmas trees to folks in Los Angeles, San Diego, and West Palm Beach, as well as wreaths in New York City. Choose from a selection of two- to four-foot trees and tree preservative for home delivery, or, for those with high ceilings and big trucks, collect conifers up to 10 feet tall in person.
Simply open the Uber Eats mobile app and tap the “Holiday” billboard, or search using seasonal emojis like a Christmas tree, gift box, or even Mr. and Mrs. Claus, to access various merchants’ holiday aisles. Depending on your location, you can get a hot drink from Starbucks, a sweet treat from Dunkin, or a pack of painkillers from Walgreens (for those day-after holiday headaches).
Through Dec. 31, Uber Eats customers will also receive $20 off orders of $60 or more from participating gifting merchants and specialty food stores, such as Mr. Jingles and Bed Bath & Beyond.
Uber’s Holiday Hub will remain live in 2022, according to CNET, which reported the service plans to provide goods and decor for different festivities throughout the year. On that basis, customers can expect chocolate hearts for Valentine’s day, colorful eggs at Easter, and possibly red, white, and blue accessories for the 4th of July.
