Christmas Eve 2020 supermarket opening times for Asda, Tesco, Aldi, Lidl and more

The Christmas shopping rush has begun and if you've left things to the last minute, there's no need to fret - as major supermarkets across the country will be on hand to help you get everything you need before the big day lands.

But the new UK Government Tier 4 guidelines mean shoppers will need to plan their last-minute trips carefully to avoid disappointment.

Whether you need to pick up a last-minute gift for your mum, or just need to top up on some food essentials, most stores will be open on Christmas eve.

As supermarkets will be closing at different times than usual on December 24, it's best to check festive opening times before heading out.
