When is the best time to do your Christmas shopping? Lidl has the answer!

Ahead of a festive shopping surge, Lidl GB advises its customers about the optimum time to stock up on all the very best Christmas goods on offer. As the discount store anticipates a spike in shoppers in the run-up to Christmas, this update will help customers plan ahead and pick the best times to shop.

In the week leading up to Christmas last year, data found the quietest times to shop at Lidl was between 8am and 10am, and from 6pm onwards. Meanwhile, the middle of the day was the busiest, with stores seeing the highest levels of footfall between 12pm and 2pm. Lidl The is expecting to see similar trends this year as customers visit their local stores to get their festive favourites and all that the Middle of Lidl has to offer. 

The supermarket’s sweetest showstoppers include its Deluxe Dark Chocolate & Salted Caramel Cottage and Deluxe 24 Month Mature Christmas Pudding, while its Hortus Clementine Winter Light-up Gin Liqueur or its Elixiris Champagne Montaudon are also sure to go down a treat. Not to forget the all-important dinner staples, including fresh turkey, as well as potatoes, parsnips, carrots and spouts, which are priced at just 19p each.

Customers are encouraged to use the Lidl Plus app where they can check how busy their local store is in real-time, allowing them to avoid the festive crowds. The app also offers customers exclusive weekly rewards and discounts for their next shop after they’ve scanned their digital card at the till, with discounts of up to 25% on selected products. 

And this year, in the spirit of Christmas, the discounter has been offering customers a new coupon every day throughout December, ensuring Lidl GB shoppers get the most bang for their buck. 

Here at That's Christmas Christmas wouldn't be the same without the Lidl Panettone, the Lidl Stollen , the Lidl mince pies and the Lidl Speculoos Chirstmas biscuits!
