Christmas is now less than 90 days away - and major supermarkets across the UK have revealed the release dates of their delivery slots.
Delivery slots are essential to some customers who struggle to get to their nearest store, while they’re also favoured by some families who prefer the convenience of not having to visit the supermarket in-person.
Christmas delivery slots tend to go quickly, so if you’re planning on booking one, make sure you make a note of the dates below. Of course, if you’re able to visit a store in-person, then you’ll save money on delivery or click and collect fees.

The supermarket will offer deliveries on Christmas eve this year but these slots will only be available from December 20. Asda said over one million home delivery and click and collect slots will be available in the week leading up to Christmas.
