Mark and Spencer have told customers that they will not be offering their 'Christmas food to order' service this year.
The supermarket has emailed all shoppers to let them know the usual initiative will not be available this festive season.
However, the shop does still intend on offering all the usual Christmas must-haves on their shelves as we approach winter, the Irish Mirror reports.
The email reads: "We’re writing to let you know that, regrettably, we’re unable to offer customers in the Republic of Ireland our Christmas Food to Order service this year
"At M&S, we want to make this Christmas a magical one for all our customers. Given the current challenges in the food industry, there was too much risk that we could potentially let customers down with key items in their orders ahead of the all-important big day – we’d never want to do that
"The good news is that we’ll still have everything you need for a truly delicious Christmas at your M&S Store.
"We look forward to welcoming you to your M&S Store this Christmas."
