Christmas trading hours for Woolworths, Coles, IGA and Aldi supermarkets - Food Files

Dec 15, 2023

It's not too late to pick up that missed item!

So, you’ve started making pavlova and realise you’re out of eggs. Admittedly, that was a big oversight, but the good news is, many supermarkets will remain open right up until Christmas Day so you do a last-minute dash for any forgotten ingredients.

However, not all supermarkets will be open at the same time. The major chains all have different trading hours, which also vary depending on what state you live in.

To help you plan your Christmas shop, we’ve created a wrap-up of what’s open and when. It’s important to note that the information listed below is a general indicator only and that opening dates and times may vary store to store.

For the most up-to-date information, please check your local supermarket’s website.
