Anyone who misses the deadline could also try December 24
Aldi has explained the best times for customers to visit its stores ahead of Christmas. According to the supermarket, 8am–10am and 8pm–10pm are typically the quietest times of the day to shop in the run up to Christmas, with Sunday 21 December and Wednesday 24 December predicted to be the quietest days overall to make any last dashes for Christmas essentials.
Rachel Geary, Communications Director at Aldi UK, said: “The final countdown to Christmas can feel overwhelming, but a little planning goes a long way. Visiting stores in quieter moments means a faster, smoother shop, so customers can focus on what really matters – enjoying the festivities with family and friends.
“That’s why, alongside our award-winning quality and unbeatable prices, we’re committed to making the Christmas shop as easy and affordable as possible.”
Aldi has been named Which?’s Cheapest Supermarket of the Year for the fourth year running and was recently crowned Christmas Retailer of the Year by the Quality Food Awards for the sixth year in a row.
The discounter also performed strongly in the Good Housekeeping Institute Christmas Taste Test 2025, picking up 20 accolades across its festive range – including recognition for its Specially Selected Double Wrapped Pigs in Blankets and Specially Selected Ultimate Wagyu Fat Roast Potatoes.
