As the holiday season approaches, thoughts of Christmas shopping may be on your mind. While Halloween and Bonfire Night are still ahead, many retailers have already opened their festive delivery slots to allow shoppers to secure essential items before December 25.
Major supermarkets like Sainsbury’s, ASDA, and Morrisons have already made these slots available, with Tesco’s opening scheduled for November 4. Delivery Saver customers can access this year’s slots starting at 6am on that day, while non-members will gain access a week later on November 11. Tesco’s Christmas 2025 collection includes over 260 new items, with some hitting shelves as early as September 1.
Tesco’s Director of Product Development & Innovation, Breige Donaghy, expressed excitement about the holiday season, mentioning the addition of 268 new products to the Christmas range. The offerings range from lavish showstoppers to twists on classic favorites, catering to various tastes and budgets.
New items include an Alpine-inspired grazing platter with a variety of meats, cheeses, bread, and condiments, as well as a ‘Build your own Charcuter-tree’ featuring a selection of ham, chorizo, cheese, and olives. For those interested in scheduling a Tesco Christmas order, the deadline is 11:45pm on December 14, with deliveries set between December 20 to 24 (or December 21 to 23 in Northern Ireland).
Specific slot availability may vary by store, with most stores offering slots up to December 24. Donaghy emphasized Tesco’s commitment to providing a range of options for Christmas celebrations, whether it’s a grand feast, nostalgic nibbles, or a hassle-free party.
