The Christmas countdown is on, and with just over a week to go, many of us are starting to think about our festive menus. If you’re planning on serving up a traditional turkey dinner this year, then you’ll need to make sure you’ve got all the ingredients sorted in advance. And while Ocado is by and large already booked up, Asda, Sainsbury’s and Waitrose all have availability for the festive period.
If you’re looking to do your Christmas food shop online, then it’s worth checking out the delivery options from your chosen supermarket. Ocado is mostly booked up for Christmas delivery slots, but there are still a few slots left if you’re quick. Asda, Sainsbury’s and Waitrose all have availability for Christmas delivery, so you should be able to find a slot that suits you.
When it comes to choosing your Christmas turkey, there are a few things to consider. The size of your bird will obviously dictate how many people it will feed, but you also need to think about whether you want a frozen or fresh turkey.
If you’re opting for frozen, then make sure you give yourself enough time to defrost it properly before cooking. And if you’re going for fresh, then you’ll need to order it in advance as most Supermarkets will only have a limited number of birds available.
Once you’ve sorted out your turkey situation, it’s time to start thinking about the trimmings. Whether you go for classic roast potatoes or something a bit more unusual like parsnip chips, make sure you’ve got enough to feed everyone. The same goes for vegetables – there’s nothing worse than running out of carrots halfway through dinner!
And don’t forget the all-important gravy. You can either make your own in advance or buy a ready-made gravy that just needs heating up on the day. Whichever route you choose, make sure you’ve got enough to go round – there’s nothing worse than a dry Turkey dinner!
So there you have it – everything you need to know about ordering your Christmas turkey and trimmings. Just remember to get organised in advance and you’ll be sure to have a stress-free festive season.
