Prior to Christmas, the brand's social media tweeted: "To say a HUGE thank you to our hard working staff, our stores are closed this Boxing Day. Have a wonderful Christmas!"
In their bid to ease Christmas chaos, Morrisons also began a recruitment drive for a range of roles to cater to Christmas demand.
The website stated: "This year's holiday season is anticipated to be even busier than usual as customers try to make up for last year’s restricted celebrations and hold multiple gatherings with their friends and family.
"To help prepare, Morrisons is looking to recruit colleagues for its distribution centres and manufacturing sites across the country.
"The roles available range from warehouse and production operatives, to pickers and packers as well as other skilled roles such as fork lift truck drivers."
And, the company also promised full training would be provided for those who applied, so no prior experience was needed for the roles.
