Morrisons has opened its Christmas delivery and Click & Collect slots, with Delivery Pass customers getting an extended two-week window to book their festive food shop.
For the first time, shoppers can book slots covering Friday, December 18 through to Thursday, December 31.
That means customers can now organise their grocery shop for everything from pre-Christmas gatherings and Christmas Day to Boxing Day and New Year's Eve.
Previously, Morrisons' festive slots only ran from December 20 to 24.
The supermarket says the move is designed to give customers more choice and help take some of the stress out of Christmas food shopping.
Morrisons opens two full weeks of Christmas slots
Delivery Pass customers can book their preferred delivery or Click & Collect slot now.
Those opting for Click & Collect can have their shopping brought directly to their car by Morrisons colleagues, while home delivery is also available.
Morrisons is warning shoppers to book early if they want a particular date and time, with festive slots expected to be in high demand.
Customers who don't already have a Delivery Pass can still sign up and take advantage of the early access, with passes available from £5 a month.
Nearly 700 festive products to choose from
Morrisons is also promising plenty of choice for the big Christmas shop, with nearly 700 festive products in its Christmas range.
This includes 290 new own-brand lines across its Market Street, The Best and The Best Signature ranges.
Among the festive food available are:
- The Best Signature Turkey Breast Joint Stuffed with Pork, Spiced Apples, Cranberry & Smoked Chestnut Stuffing
- The Best Chestnut, Apple & Thyme Giant Pig in Blanket
- The Best Signature Collection Chocolate Orange Star
- Bitesize Fish & Chip Baskets
The range is designed to cover everything from Christmas Day centrepieces and traditional trimmings to desserts and party food.

Christmas shopping without the last-minute panic
The extended booking period means shoppers can now plan their food shopping around different festive occasions rather than trying to squeeze everything into the traditional Christmas delivery window.
Charlotte Exell, Group Online Director at Morrisons, said: “We want to help our customers enjoy a stress-free Christmas. That’s why, for the very first time, we’ve extended our delivery and Click & Collect slots across two full weeks over Christmas and New Year - making it easier for customers to shop at their convenience and enjoy good, honest value on all their festive favourites.”
Morrisons said Delivery Pass customers can log into their account, place their order and select their preferred date and time.
The supermarket's full Christmas range is now available to browse online.
