Aldi are set to close all their stores for three select days over the Christmas period.

The supermarket, known for offering great savings on household groceries will close its doors to offer staff a well-earned break to spend time with family and friends.

With more than 1,000 stores across the UK, they will close for Christmas Day and won't reopen until December 27, they announced in September.

Stores will also be closed on New Year’s Day as usual, reopening once again on Friday, January 2, 2026.

Opening hours will vary in the days leading up to Christmas, with Aldi operating extended hours to ensure customers can stock up ahead of the big day.

Rebecca Heley, communications director at Aldi UK said: “Christmas is a special time, and we want to ensure all of our colleagues have the opportunity to relax and enjoy it with their loved ones.

"That’s why all Aldi stores will be closed on Boxing Day this year.

“We know how hard colleagues work to deliver an amazing Christmas for our customers, and this is one small way of saying thank you.”
