Update 01/12/2025: sadly, the Advent Calendar isn’t running in the UK this year

Ikea isn’t running the Advent Calendar this year — it has released the calendar on its Swedish website.

Morrisons: 12 Days of Christmas (ended)

Some people with a Morrisons More Card can get access to its “12 Days of Christmas” between now and 12 December. Every day, you can open the advent calendar and get freebies, More Points, discounts and the chance to win £1,000 worth of points.

You can’t go back and get the previous day’s rewards, and you should keep an eye on when each voucher expires.

There’s an advent calendar running in the Nectar app from 5 December to 20 December where you can win prizes, including bonus Nectar points, Argos gift vouchers and food freebies.

To enter, you need to visit the Nectar website or app and log in to your Nectar account. Then, just click through to the Advent Calendar page and click on the bauble.

Free letter from Santa

If you want to keep some of the magic alive, you can get a letter from Santa for your little one for just the cost of a stamp. All you’ve got to do is have them write a letter to Santa and post it (don’t forget a stamp!) before 10 December 2025 and you’ll hopefully get a response.

Here are Santa’s instructions:

• Write Santa’s address carefully on the envelope (below)
• Put a stamp on the envelope so it gets to Santa
• Include your full name and address in your letter or on the back of the envelope

And here’s Santa’s address:

Santa/Father Christmas
Santa’s Grotto
Reindeerland
XM4 5HQ

There’s no guarantee that Santa will send you back a letter. Usually, as long as you get your letter to them in time, then you’ll get one back.

Free Christmas cards (ended)

WWF is giving away free packs of Christmas cards this year. While there’s no obligation to, you can give a small donation to the charity in exchange.

You’ll get a pack of Christmas cards in the post within a couple of weeks, and you also get a 10% off code for everything else in their shop.

Buy wrapping paper, tags, bags and cards in January

If you want to save yourself money next year then get yourself out to the stores in the days between Christmas and New Year to stock up on wrapping paper, gift tags, gift bags and Christmas cards. You can get these for more than 90% off their original prices in some cases.

Just remember where you put it all so you don’t buy it all again next year.

Reduced Christmas veggies (ended)

Every year in the final week before Christmas, supermarkets drop the prices of Christmas veg to mere pennies. Here’s what’s been announced so far:

• Asda has reduced its Christmas veg to 8p until 24 December, including carrots, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and parsnips
• Morrisons has reduced its veggies to just 10p, including carrots, parsnips, sprouts and swede from 19 December. You’ll need to have the Morrisons More card.

• Sainsbury’s will reduce Brussels sprouts, parsnips, carrots, swede, red cabbage, and potatoes to 15p from 18-24 December. You’ll need to make sure you’ve got a Nectar Card handy to get the discount
• Lidl’s Christmas veg goes down to 15p from 19 to 24 December. It includes parsnips, carrots, Brussels sprouts, shallots, swede and potatoes. Once again, this is the only supermarket with onions in the mix!

Free carrots (for Rudolph!) (ended)

Tesco is giving away free bags of carrots for Rudolph until Christmas Eve. There are dedicated stands in its larger stores giving away free bags of carrots for you to leave out for Santa’s reindeer on Christmas Eve (or cook up for your Christmas dinner).
