The most wonderful time of the year is on the way, which means supermarkets will be altering opening times to give staff a well-earned break over Christmas.

We've all been there, having planned and organised for weeks, only to forget that bit of party food, or even a turkey, and the desperate last-minute shop is needed.

Well fear not, here are the opening hours for the likes of Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury's and more across Stevenage, Hitchin, Letchworth and Baldock this Christmas.
