No Time To Get You Home Ready For The Holidays? Uber Says It Can Help.

It might be fun to head out to a Christmas tree farm to cut down your own spruce — but if your schedule is too hectic or your vehicle is too small, there’s a more convenient option available.

Delivering the whole experience

This year, Uber is not only bringing back its tree-delivery service, which has been offered on a limited basis for nearly a decade. The ride-sharing app will also deliver a host of other holiday staples, from wreaths to real live carolers who will sing classic seasonal songs outside your home.

Before you get ready to place your order, however, make sure that whichever feature you’re interested in will be available in your neck of the woods.

Tree deliveries are being offered nationwide for the first time this year, but some of the other options are still limited to select markets. Carolers, for example, will start being sent to homes tomorrow but only in these cities:

• New York
• Miami
• Washington, D.C.
• Dallas
• Los Angeles

If you’re in one of those places, your delivery can be filled with even more holiday cheer. Thanks to a collaboration between Uber and Diageo, delivery of adult beverages is also included in the equation.

Standing out from the crowd

With a number of options available to anyone who needs a ride around town or a quick meal delivery, Uber has continued to implement new features to its platform in hopes of remaining an industry leader.

Sending out trees and carolers is one way to attract attention, but some of the company’s other recent updates might have a bigger and longer-lasting impact.

Uber is updating its same-day delivery option (now called Uber Courier), and parents find it easier to travel with young kids thanks to the expanded availability of vehicles equipped with child car seats.
