Aldi has confirmed its Christmas opening times for 2021 - and there are some important updates to its store hours.
The budget retailer has reduced its hours on some days so its staff can spend more time with their families.
But for last-minute shoppers, it means you’ll need to be in the know about when Aldi shops open and close so you don’t miss out.
Aldi has more than 900 shops in the UK. You can find your nearest shop by using its store finder tool.
Here we explain its opening hours for Christmas Day and the days surrounding it.
When is Aldi open on Christmas Eve?
Aldi has confirmed its stores will remain open from 7am until 6pm on Christmas Eve this year.
This is slightly shorter than its regular opening hours - in the run-up to Christmas, its shops have been open from 7am until 10pm.
When is Aldi open on Christmas Day?
Aldi will keep its stores closed on Christmas Day, as it has done in previous years and in line with other supermarkets.
This means the last chance to get your Christmas goods from Aldi will be on Christmas Eve.

When is Aldi open on Boxing Day?
Aldi stores will also remain closed on Boxing Day 2021.
The discounter has kept its shops shut on Boxing Day over the last few years so staff can have more time with family.
Aldi stores will open again on December 27 where most branches will welcome customers from 8am until 8pm.
How to find your nearest Aldi
Aldi has a handy store finder tool on its website where you can track down your nearest shop.
All you need to do is enter your postcode and the website will bring up your closest Aldi and others that are also nearby.
Aldi has just revealed the location of 15 new stores that will all open before the end of this year.
It comes as part of its budget to invest more than £1.3 billion by 2023, with plans to open 100 new stores over the next two years.
Aldi had previously revealed the locations of 30 places where it wants to open new shops.
At the time, the grocer said it was looking for sites that are big enough to accommodate a 20,000 sq ft store and around 100 dedicated parking spaces.
Ciaran Aldridge, national property director at Aldi UK, said: “There are still too many people for whom shopping at Aldi isn’t a convenient option.
“We’re committed to changing that and opening nearly four new stores a week before Christmas clearly demonstrates our progress with this.
“The new stores bring us one step closer to our goal of making our award-winning products at unbeatable prices easily accessible to even more shoppers across the country.“
He continued: “We look forward to welcoming local customers in for their weekly shop.”
