58 festive favourites are now on offer for way less than usual.
Morrisons has just cut the cost of dozens of Christmas dinner essentials in a commitment to "keep prices low" until the end of the year, reports The Manc.
Stuffing, roast potatoes, cranberry sauce, and even tin foil have all seen their prices slashed as the retailer aims to help those struggling amid the rising cost of living crisis.
With a whopping 58 festive food and drink favourites now available to get your hands on from the supermarket's 497 stores all across the UK, Morrisons' decision to make the price cuts well in advance of the big day itself means shoppers can "stock up and spread the cost" of their Christmas staples.
The supermarket says it's investing over £4 million to keep costs low for customers this Christmas.
All the classic Christmas dinner must-haves and trimmings, like roast potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, cocktail prawns, and sherry trifles are now on offer for an average of 20% less than usual.

On top of that, there's also a wide range of drinks and nibbles, including Bucks Fizz, tonic, Wensleydale and cranberry cheese, and peanuts, of offer too.
Shoppers can even stock-up on kitchen essentials, such as kitchen foil and napkins, while key ingredients needed to create seasonal bakes have also been cut - including mincemeat, sultanas, pastry, and whipping cream.
According to Morrisons, the 58 items have all been chosen to have their prices cut as they were "particularly popular at Christmas last year".
The sales of these items were said to have soared by up to 90% throughout the last festive period.

Morrisons' Chief Customer and Marketing Officer, Rachel Eyre, says the supermarket is "working hard to help" people who are struggling to cover Christmas costs this year.
"We know that Christmas is an expensive time of year and that our customers are having to make tough choices about what to put in their baskets," she commented.
"We are working hard to help them when it comes to their festive grocery shopping and want to protect them from rising costs, so despite the significant inflation we have seen over the last 12 months, our basket of 58 festive items is cheaper than it was in 2022."
Authentic Turkish street food is coming to Kirkgate.
Leeds city centre is gearing up to welcome yet another new food spot, and this one is all about homemade lahmacun, shawarma wraps and plenty of signature tahini sauce.
Tahin will open its doors at 10 Kirkgate, next to The Cat Cafe, and with signs already up we don't think it'll be long until they welcome their first customers.
The restaurant is listed as a Turkish restaurant that specialise in their homemade tahini sauce, hence the name.
According to the restaurant's Instagram profile which has been going for a few years, Tahin also specialises in home-made lahmacun wraps alongside shawarma wraps.
For anyone unfamiliar with lahmacun, the Turkish staple is often described as a thin, crispy flatbread topped with a richly seasoned mixture of minced meat, herbs and vegetables.
Wrapped up with fresh salad and sauces, it makes for a satisfying and flavourful lunch to enjoy on-the-go.
Their Instagram suggests that Tahin once existed before back in 2022, so although this may not be a completely new venture, we're nevertheless very glad to see them back.
Its location puts it right in the middle of one of Leeds' busiest areas, making it the perfect mid-shopping pit stop for those wandering around Briggate or stopping for a bite to eat before heading out on the town.
The new opening comes at a time when Leeds' food scene is continuing to expand, with a string of independent restaurants and street-food concepts opening across the city centre throughout 2026.
This Leeds bistro has been named one of the best restaurants in the UK to plan a staycation around

A much-loved neighbourhood Leeds restaurant has been given another major accolade.
There’s no shortage of brilliant places to eat in Leeds, but one Horsforth bistro has just been given a pretty huge seal of approval - and it might be worth planning your next staycation around.
The brilliant Bavette has been named one of the best neighbourhood restaurants in the UK to plan a staycation around by Condé Nast Traveller, appearing alongside a handpicked list of restaurants from across the country.
The list celebrates neighbourhood restaurants that are worth travelling for, with the magazine highlighting the growing appeal of venturing outside of busy city centres in search of smaller, more intimate places to eat.

And Leeds has bagged itself a spot thanks to Bavette, and we can't say we're surprised.
The French-inspired neighbourhood bistro is run by chef Sandy Jarvis and his husband Clément Cousin.
Since opening in 2024, Bavette has quickly become one of the city's most talked-about restaurants, attracting diners far beyond its Horsforth home and scooping up accolades such as the 2024 Good Food Guide's Best UK Local Restaurant, a 2025 and 2026 Michelin Bib Gourmand, and a place in the 2026 National Restaurant Awards Top 100.
Condé Nast Traveller hails Bavette as "a true neighbourhood gem", saying: "The restaurant takes its cues from the couple’s London bistro roots, serving hearty yet elegant dishes made with seasonal ingredients.”
They finish by saying: "Reservations are hard to come by - but so worth it once you get your foot in the door."
We really couldn't agree more.
And while a trip to Horsforth might not technically count as a staycation for us Leeds locals, Bavette is certainly one restaurant worth crossing the city for.
