Grinches look away now, the first supermarket food ordering slots for Christmas are live now courtesy of the high street giant
Marks and Spencer has become the first UK supermarket to launch their Christmas food ordering slots for 2023. Hot on the heels of a glittering launch showcasing all their Christmas food and drink offerings in London this week, Christmas Food to Order slots went live on the M&S website this morning.
Pumpkin spiced lattes may only just be hitting stores and eagle-eyed shoppers will have seen items from the Christmas ranges dropping into stores already but M&S has launched their slots earlier than ever this year. They are also considerably earlier than their major competitors, with most of the others waiting until closer to Halloween.
Tesco customers who use the delivery and click and collect plans can book slots from November 7, a week earlier than last year. Slots for other shoppers will open on November 21 a day earlier than 2022. Meanwhile Sainsbury’s delivery pass customers can start booking from October 16.
Unlike other supermarkets, M&S food ordering service is a click and collect service for in store only with orders due to be collected from December 22 to 24. Shoppers can order anything anything from an entire turkey through to party foods, desserts and other items.
