If the thought of entering the store makes you break out in a cold sweat, Morrisons offers Click & Collect. You order online, they pack it, you drive up, and they put it in your car. It’s basically a drive-thru for your dignity.
Christmas Eve slots fill up fast—like, ‘book by December 22nd or weep’ fast. But if you’re reading this on the 24th, you might still grab a cancelled slot. Refresh the page like you’re trying to snag concert tickets. It’s a long shot, but hope is the thing with tinsel, right?
Delivery slots? Same story. They’re rarer than a calm relative at a family dinner. But if you’re lucky, you’ll be sipping tea while someone else carries the brussels sprouts to your door. That’s winning.
A Few More Survival Hacks
First, wear comfortable shoes. Christmas Eve at Morrisons is a marathon, not a sprint. You will be dodging children on scooters and grandparents with trolleys that have a mind of their own. Treat it like a combat zone, but with more mince pies.

Second, bring your own bags. Morrisons will sell you bags for life, but you’ll end up with seventeen of them and a guilty conscience. Reuse that flimsy carrier from last week—the environment thanks you, and your car boot will be less of a Tetris nightmare.
Third, avoid the wine aisle after 4 p.m. It turns into a gladiator arena. People will ask you if you’ve seen the "last bottle of the red with the fancy label." You haven’t. Run.
