Ocado Christmas slots for 2024 released

With the festive season on the horizon, Ocado’s Christmas delivery slots are now open for booking. Families eager to secure their festive groceries should act quickly, as high demand means slots are likely to sell out fast. If you’re an Ocado Smart Pass holder, you’ll have early access to these coveted slots, offering a better chance to snag convenient dates, especially between December 20 and 24.

The Christmas shop is open, how do I book a slot?

Smart Pass customers, who subscribed before September 1, 2024, can already book their deliveries, while general booking for non-pass holders will open soon. However, the specific date for general booking may vary depending on availability and regional demand, so keep an eye on your notifications and account updates.

For parents, early planning is key to ensuring a stress-free Christmas. Ocado offers a wide variety of Christmas essentials, including its exclusive range of Marks & Spencer products. Whether you’re preparing a traditional Christmas dinner or looking for something unique for the holiday table, Ocado’s extensive selection provides options for every family’s festive needs.

Due to the current cost-of-living pressures, budgeting your Christmas food shopping is more important than ever. Martin Lewis, renowned for his money-saving advice, urges families to avoid last-minute panic and book early, while also considering price comparisons across other retailers. With Ocado known for premium-quality products, it’s wise to balance convenience with cost.

Parents can also take advantage of Ocado’s flexible cancellation policies. If plans change, you can adjust or cancel your delivery slot up until the day before, ensuring peace of mind during the often chaotic holiday season.

In summary, securing your Christmas grocery delivery slot with Ocado early can save time and reduce holiday stress. Whether you’re a Smart Pass holder or not, being proactive is the key to ensuring your family’s holiday meals arrive on time.
