It's that time of year again when Christmas shopping might start to cross your mind. Although Halloween andBonfire Night are still to come, many retailers have already opened their festive delivery slots, enabling shoppers to secure all the essentials before December 25.

While Sainsbury's, ASDA and Morrisons are among several supermarkets that have already made these spaces open to the public, Tesco's opening is yet to come. This year's slots will be available from 6am on November 4 for Delivery Saver customers who already subscribe to receive regular shopping deliveries.

Other customers without this membership will then subsequently receive access to Christmas slots from 6am on November 11 - just one week later. Tesco's Christmas 2025 collection features numerous customer favourites and over 260 new items, many of which began appearing on shelves as early as September 1.

Earlier this year, Breige Donaghy, Tesco Director or Product Development & Innovation, explained: "Christmas is the ultimate moment of the year for so many of our customers, and at Tesco, we’re here to make every bite count!

"We know how much our customers cherish the festive season, so we’ve gone all out, adding a whopping 268 new products to our Christmas range. From indulgent showstoppers in our Finest collection to clever twists on classic favourites, there’s something for every taste and every budget."

Among its new items, Tesco is offering an Alpine-inspired grazing platter featuring smoked prosciutto, salami Milano, salami Ungherese, a rich Gruyère and Emmental baking cheese, a crusty baguette, crunchy cornichons, and a honey and rosemary drizzle.

Even an impressive 'Build you own Charcuter-tree' is up for grabs, which includes a delicious selection of Serrano ham, black garlic chorizo, lomo, Ibérico cheese and manzanilla, and Kalamata olives.

If you're interested in scheduling a Tesco Christmas order from November, the deadline is 11:45pm on December 14. Deliveries will then take place between December 20 to 24, or 21 to 23 in Northern Ireland.

Specific slots will vary between stores, though most will offer December 24 slots. Ms Donaghy continued in her July statement: "Whether you're planning a lavish Christmas Day feast, stocking up on nostalgic nibbles, or throwing a party where you want to wow without the faff, we’ve got you covered. This year, it’s all about effortless magic and delicious memories."
