Tesco Boxing Day opening times revealed as supermarket gets set for Christmas

There is now not much time left if you need to get your big food shop done for Christmas and then there's the small matter of making sure you have enough wrapping paper so you're not left short for last minute presents.

Supermarkets across the UK are bracing themselves for their busiest few days of the year as customers scramble to get everything they need for December 25.

On Christmas Day itself supermarkets will close, giving staff some well deserved time off, before most of them re-open on December 26.

While , Tesco will be open, but the different variety of stores - Extra, Metro and Express - will all have different opening times.
