CHRISTMAS may be months away, but the festivities are starting early at Morrisons, as the supermarket launches its yuletide treats.
With temperatures getting colder and the nights beginning to draw in, many Brits are getting excited for cosy evenings by the fire, indulging in festive goodies.

And if December is too long to wait to feast on your favourite snacks, why not treat yourself to some winter bargains, a few weeks early.
M&M’s are a tasty treat, beloved by children and adults alike.
And the iconic chocolate brand’s Crispy Milk Chocolate Christmas Santa Treat is bound to send any treat lover to chocolate heaven.
The tiny chocs are perfect for an afternoon treat, and office snack or for putting in the little ones’ stockings.
Tantalise your taste buds with creamy vanilla, crispy surprises, and mini M&M fillings, encased in deliciously smooth chocolate.
M&Ms said: “Introducing our newest Christmas indulgence: M&M’s Crispy Santa Shape Chocolate!
“Elevate your Christmas celebrations with these delightful self-eat treats, designed to bring joy and sweetness to every moment.
“Share the joy of Christmas with friends and family by offering these irresistible M&M’s Crispy Santa Shape Chocolates, spreading smiles and sweetness wherever they go.”

However, you’ll have to be quick as the offer is only available while stocks last.
Chocoholics have also been warned that only 20 of the tasty bars can be purchased at once.

How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don’t have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs…
Go own brand – if you’re not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you’ll save by going for the supermarket’s own brand bars.
Shop around – if you’ve spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it’s cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you’re getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers – supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they’ve been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars – most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you’ve got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
However, Clubcard users can nab the chocolate for even cheaper, at just 75p.
If that’s not enough, a major supermarket has slashed the price of Lindt Lindor truffles from £7.48 to £1.87.
Supermarket giant Asda currently has a huge sale on the Lindt Lindor Raspberry & Cream, Milk Chocolate and Hazelnut 200g boxes.
Eagle eyed shoppers were quick to point out the deal online, with one chocolate fan sharing to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group: “Workington Asda Lindt Lindor only £1.87, three different flavours.”
She posted a photo of the red end of the aisle shopping stand with half-empty shelves of Lindt Lindor boxes.
In the comments section, one shopper revealed that the big price drop is down to the chocs being short-dated with a best-before being February 2026.
Bargain hunters are now urging others to stock up while they can, with some admitting they’ve cleared shelves to stash away the sweet deal.
