Christmas 2020 opening hours for Tesco, Aldi, Lidl and more

It's almost Christmas and many people will be wanting to get some last-minute food shopping done before the big day arrives.

But supermarkets all over the UK will be operating at different hours than usual during the Christmas period, so it might be difficult to pick those last bits up.

If you need to make a final trip, it's best to plan ahead to make sure you don't end up stuck outside.

Most major stores - including Tesco, Aldi and Lidl - are closing slightly earlier on December 24th, but will be closed on Christmas Day.

Here's a list of all the major retailers' opening hours over the Christmas period.​

Tesco will be keeping hundreds of its stores open for 24 hours a day in the lead up to Christmas.

There will be 300 branches open for 24 hours from December 14th to Christmas Eve, while the rest of Tesco's stores will be open from 5am until 11pm between those dates.

The chain's seasonal opening times have not yet been confirmed for Christmas Day, but its stores are usually closed on December 25th and reopen on Boxing Day.
