Nothing says Christmas quite like some decadent food from Marks and Spencer to really kickstart the festive season.
And the good news for customers this year is the retailer is opening even longer hours to allow customers to shop as well as maintaining social distancing guidelines.
Sacha Berendji, M&S’s Retail, Operations & Property Director explained: “ We want our customers to be able to shop with confidence this Christmas, which means supporting social distancing in our stores and minimal queueing outside as the weather gets colder.
"To help with this, our Sparks Book & Shop service is now live at every store and we’ll be operating our longest ever opening hours just before Christmas to help customers purchase everything they need to make the big day special - however they are celebrating - whether it’s picking up the turkey, or collecting a last minute present they’ve ordered online.
"Along with the wider industry, we continue to ask for Sunday trading hours to be extended to help us increase our capacity to serve everyone safely this festive season.
"Alongside our social distancing measures, which includes carefully counting customers in via a bespoke app, we continue to operate robust hygiene measures in our stores – from hand sanitiser at all entrances to regularly cleaning trolleys & baskets."
Here are the opening hours for NI M&S stores:
