As the big day draws closer, Aldi has unveiled its Christmas opening times. The budget supermarket, like other retailers in the UK, is expected to be busy in the lead-up to Christmas, having already unveiled its festive range of mains, desserts and party food. This week, the supermarket revealed that shoppers will have more time to stock up on festive favourites this year, as it is extending its opening hours in the run-up to the big day. Aldi confirmed that it will keep stores open from 7am in England and Wales and 8am in Scotland between Monday, December 21 and Wednesday, December 23.

On Christmas Eve, stores will open at the same times before closing at 6pm, while all Aldi UK stores will close on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. They will reopen on Sunday, December 27.

It has been confirmed that stores will also close on New Year’s Day, reopening on Saturday, January 2, 2027. "We want to make those final few days before Christmas as easy as possible, giving customers more time to pick up everything they need at Aldi's unbeatable prices," said Rachel Geary, Communications Director at Aldi UK.

"And with our stores closed on Boxing Day, our colleagues can enjoy some well-deserved time with their loved ones too." Aldi has around 1,100 stores across the UK following rapid expansion.

Several new Aldi stores opened across the UK in 2026, with plans for more to open in new locations in the near future. The German supermarket chain is expected to be a go-to for many over the festive season, as it has been named the UK's cheapest supermarket for the 11th month in a row.

Consumer group Which? also named it the overall cheapest supermarket of 2026, comparing the prices of more than 80 items from various supermarkets.
