That means Iceland may change its hours across many of its stores over Christmas, so you’ll want to make a note of their opening times.

Iceland has almost 1,000 stores nationwide and is one of the most popular supermarkets in the UK.

When will Iceland be open over Christmas?

Most Iceland stores are open from 7am or 8am until 7pm, and in some cities, stores are open until 9pm.

But the frozen food specialist will close on Boxing Day, as well as Christmas Day.
