Escape From Tarkov's Kolotun Christmas event is here and with that comes holiday gifts under trees around Tarkov. Here's where you can find all of the new Christmas Tree locations for 2025-2026.

Looting Christmas Trees

Christmas Trees during the Kolotun event spawn loose loot on the ground and in the tree itself.

Be sure to look for the ornament model that can be interacted with via "Take". This will get you ornaments with Found in Raid status that can be used to craft your hideout's Christmas Tree.

You can also find wrapped presents on the ground around the area of Christmas Trees. You're looking for presents that are not covered in snow, the ones covered in snow are not interactable.

Gifts take up multiple inventory spaces, and they can't be opened until you extract from the map, so who knows if they will be worth taking. Gift packages are destroyed after you unpack them and cannot be listed on the Flea Market, so don't worry about having to find a way to get rid of the huge items.

Christmas Tree on Customs

To find the Christmas Tree on Customs, you'll want to head to the courtyard in the middle of Dorms. The tree is oddly clipped into the playground's slide. Presents can be found on benches, so pay close attention to the area.

Christmas Tree on Reserve

Reserve's Christmas Tree is on the train yard side of the map, between the two bunkers, or the south-west corner which has quite an open area. You'll want to look around the wooden pallets on the ground to find yourself a possible Gift spawn.

Christmas Tree on Woods

The Christmas Tree on Woods is at the Sawmill area, but this year we find it on a newly accessible dock area. If you know the spot where you need to stash all the gear for Ragman's quest, you're not too far off the new tree location. Here you can see the location when looking down from the sawmill, near the normal dock. You can find gifts on the dock itself, and on the chairs near the tree.

Christmas Tree on Interchange

The mall on Interchange is beautifully decorated throughout, but it is outside that you will want to be to find the Christmas Tree. Gone is last year's village near the stage and instead it's been pushed back to where the Scav Camp is. A red sofa near the tree has a chance to spawn gifts.

Christmas Tree on Shoreline

Shoreline's Tree last year was in the west area of the Resort, but this year things are more spooky with the Tree being placed right in the middle of all the chaos. This will prove to be more challenging to defend, with a possible Sanitar spawn and shooting coming from every direction. Even with all the medical supplies on the map, you aren't safe here. Look on the benches around the tree for possible gift spawns.

No Tree Locations

Not all maps have Christmas Trees. We were unable to find trees on the following maps:

• Ground Zero
• Factory
• Streets of Tarkov
• Labs
• Terminal

And that's it for all the locations of Christmas Trees during Escape From Tarkov's Kolotun event.
