Aldi has confirmed its Christmas and New Year opening hours, with all UK stores set to close on two days before the end of 2026.

Stores in England and Wales will open from 7am, while stores in Scotland will open from 8am, between Monday, December 21, and Wednesday, December 23.

Christmas Eve and Day closures

On Christmas Eve, stores will open at the same times before closing early at 6pm.

All UK stores will then close on both Christmas Day and Boxing Day, before reopening on Sunday, December 27.

Rachel Geary, communications director at Aldi UK, said: "No matter how organised you are for Christmas, there always seems to be something left on the shopping list. We want to make those final few days before Christmas as easy as possible, giving customers more time to pick up everything they need at Aldi's unbeatable prices."

New Year's Day closure

Stores will also close on New Year's Day, reopening on Saturday, January 2, 2027.

Customers are advised to check the Aldi Store Finder for the latest opening hours, as times may vary by location.
