While you won't be able to rush out on Christmas Day and pick up that turkey that you've fatally forgotten until the last minute, the major supermarkets have generous opening hours on the days surrounding the festivities.

Most will be operating reduced opening hours, but all will be open at some point or another over the holiday season.
