We might still have Halloween to get through, but there’s another holiday looming. That’s right, we have just over two months until Christmas officially arrives.
That means that it is probably about time to start thinking about the preparations for the big day, particularly when it comes to getting in the food haul, especially for those who buy it online.
Fortunately, ahead of the mad December rush, many supermarkets have been launching their Christmas delivery slots well in advance, with many now officially open for bookings this year.

While rushing about for last-minute gifts and sorting out the decorations might seem like the most hectic parts of the holidays, many food delivery slots get booked up well in advance, and no-one wants to be left out without their main feast.
Whether planning a Christmas party, or the whole family is coming round for a giant feast on December 25, every supermarket Christmas range has something for everyone this year, which is why they’ll probably get snapped up fast.
So, that’s why we have brought together a handy guide on what slots are now available and if there are any costs included. While some are only open for anyone with a Delivery Pass, it is worth bookmarking any future dates that are just coming up for everyone else.

Asda
Asda opened its Christmas delivery slots for anyone with a Delivery Pass on Wednesday, October 15, with slots going available for all other customers on Tuesday, October 21.
For those who want to beat the crowds, a Delivery Pass currently costs between £6.95 and £7.95 for a monthly pass for anytime during the week, while a midweek pass costs between £3.95 and £4.50, but it only allows for deliveries on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
All customers need to do is browse the Christmas Food To Order menu and add them to their basket, with the last date for any additions being December 15. From there, slots for delivery will be available for between December 21-23.

M&S
One of the most anticipated retailers for all things Christmas has to be M&S, which is why it is good news the firm opened its delivery slots back in September.
All customers need to do is book their delivery slot for their chosen store, with dates available from between December 21-24, then secure their festive feast with a minimum £50 deposit. The rest of the balance can be paid off when they go to collect their order.
