Tesco and Morrisons have announced details about their Christmas delivery slots, with Tesco offering 60,000 more slots this year and Morrisons extending its festive delivery period for the first time.
Tesco booking dates and early access
Tesco has said some shoppers will be able to book December slots as early as November 5. Customers with an Anytime Delivery Saver or Click + Collect plan can get their slot two days early, from 6 am on November 3. Shoppers who sign up to Tesco's Delivery Saver plan can also get early access to online slots. From November 5, slots will open for all other customers, including Off-Peak Delivery Saver members.
Morrisons expands festive delivery window
Morrisons announced its Christmas Delivery and Click & Collect slots are now bookable for Delivery Pass customers. The supermarket is expanding its festive delivery and Click & Collect across two full weeks, giving customers flexibility from Friday, December 18, to Thursday, December 31. Shoppers can choose to have their order delivered directly to their door or to pick it up, and Morrisons in-store colleagues will bring it straight to their car.
Charlotte Exell, Group Online Director at Morrisons, said: "We want to help our customers enjoy a stress-free Christmas. That’s why, for the very first time, we’ve extended our delivery and Click & Collect slots across two full weeks over Christmas and New Year - making it easier for customers to shop at their convenience and enjoy good, honest value on all their festive favourites."
Festive ranges revealed
Both Tesco and Morrisons have unveiled their Christmas ranges for 2026. At Tesco, there are over 200 new products and more than 600 festive products in total available across Tesco stores. Morrisons has nearly 700 festive products within the range, including 290 new own-brand items across Market Street, The Best and The Best Signature ranges.
Breige Donaghy, Tesco director of product development & innovation, said: "Our indulgent Finest range offers amazing quality with fresh twists on Christmas classics, alongside innovative new products inspired by the latest food trends. In addition, our core range has a brilliant selection of Christmas treats and festive favourites, making sure we’ve got all tastes and budgets covered."
