WITH less than 100 days to Christmas, Morrisons has unveiled its Christmas menu.
From standout centrepieces to help any hosting duties, the perfect party food for any office bash, or family favourites for the big day - the supermarket has it covered.
This year, the festive range will feature everything from the classic turkey, salmon, puddings, and whole range of starters and sides.
A spokesperson for the firm said: "Over the past year, Morrisons team of talented chefs and product developers have been working hard to bring customers the best Christmas range to date.
"From sharing starters and showstopping centrepieces, to unique party food and indulgent desserts.
"Many items will be hand-prepared in stores by Morrisons butchers and bakers on Market Street who are also on hand to answer any questions ahead of the festive season."

Iceland’s "Bonus Pounds" scheme isn’t technically a Christmas saver - but you could use it as one.
The supermarket will give you a £1 bonus for every £20 you top-up, which works out as a 5% return.
There’s no limit to the amount you can save and spend on the card throughout a year, but the most you can have loaded at any one time is £1,000 including bonuses.
If you managed to save £20 a week, you’d have £52 in free cash over the course of 12 months.
If you’re topping up whilst at the shop, just let the cashier know how much you want to add and they will load it to your card.
To do it online, sign in to your account on the Iceland Bonus Card app. Go to ‘My Card’ and select ‘Top Up’. You can then top up any amount with your preferred payment method.
You can sign up for a Digital Bonus Card online at iceland.co.uk/bonuscard, or pick up a physical card in an Iceland store and register it online or through the Bonus Card app.
Iceland does warn that it reserves the right to withdraw, decline, cancel or issue a new card at any time and without notice.
You can cancel your Bonus Card at any time, but any remaining balance will be lost, so you need to make sure you spend any savings first.
If you don’t use the card for 24 months, it will expire, and you will lose any money you have saved.
Iceland adds that it is not liable for any bonuses that are not spent before expiry, nor for any bonus amounts which have failed to load onto the card due to a technical or user error, nor for any bonus amounts which are not used due to lost or stolen cards.
Savings can only be used to purchase products in participating Iceland and The Food Warehouse stores or online at the Iceland website. They cannot be redeemed in a franchise store or at The Range.
