Morrisons has confirmed when its Christmas delivery food-to-order dates will be opening up, and shoppers won't have to wait too long.

In fact, those who are part of the Morrisons Delivery Pass scheme can do so from today (Wednesday, October 9).

This allows customers to secure their preferred Christmas delivery slot between December 20-24 with a minimum spend of just £25.

In a statement, Morrisons said: "This exclusive early access opportunity allows Delivery Pass customers the guarantee of a seamless and stress-free online shopping experience during the busiest season of the year."

The Morrisons Delivery Pass provides shoppers with the flexibility to shop online as frequently as they like, without incurring delivery charges on every order.

It can be purchased on the website here with the option for either an anytime (seven-day) pass or a midweek (Tuesday-Thursday) pass.

Customers without a Morrisons Delivery Pass will be able to book their Christmas slots from Wednesday, October 9.
