The real fun happens between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. That’s the Chaos Zone. Shelves are like loot crates. You might find gravy or a random bag of chestnuts.
Pro tip: go at 7:00 AM. You’ll be alone with the milkmen and the very serious bakers. It’s peaceful. Eerily quiet. Magical.
Morrisons Christmas and New Year opening times for 2026
Going at 3:30 PM is a bad idea. You’ll find empty shelves and stressed parents. The Wi-Fi will be slow from everyone checking recipes.
Quirky Fact: The Turkey Countdown
Morrisons doesn’t just sell turkeys. They sell hope. Fresh turkeys sell out fast on Christmas Eve. By 11:00 AM, it’s a prize fight for the last bronze one.
They also sell 18 different kinds of stuffing. Nobody needs 18. But on Christmas Eve, you want them all. It’s the panic talking.
Fun detail: Morrisons usually has a “Christmas Eve Surprise” section. It’s just the leftover posh biscuits. Don’t fall for it. You want the real smoked salmon.
