Christmas is nearly upon us and if you're not already ticking off your festive checklist, now would be a good time to get organised. Food and drink are at the heart of many celebrations, and whether your hosting or contributing, supermarkets play a key role in getting stocked up.

Today, shops across Ireland will be bustling with shoppers checking off their Christmas lists. Even the most organised of households will probably need to nip out to pick up some last-minute supplies.

With this in mind, shops have issued a reminder to customers not to leave it too late, as many have altered their opening hours for Christmas Eve - with some closing early.
