Whether shop-bought or a refillable one shaped like a reindeer you've had since you were a kid, getting out the advent calendars signals the official countdown to Christmas.
With only 26 days to go until the big day, doing top-up shops here and there all count towards making sure everything is perfect for when the turkey gets placed in the middle of the table and everyone fights over the perfectly cooked roasties.
Continuing to be there for you this festive season and beyond, SPAR has a fantastic range of freezer fillers to help you feed the whole family as the weather turns colder.
As frost slowly begins to appear on lawns and windscreens, there's nothing quite like sitting down to a hot meal at the end of the day, especially if that hot meal happens to be a tasty roast dinner.
From now until January 3, 2024, SPAR's Christmas Essentials Freezer Fillers give you great value for money, right on your doorstep. For just £6, you can get a bag of Aunt Bessie's Crispy and Fluffy Roasties, Aunt Bessie's Honey Glazed Parsnips, Aunt Bessie's Sage and Onion Stuffing Balls, Aunt Bessie's Extra Large Yorkies and a bag of SPAR Garden peas.
Simply add a choice of your favourite meat or nut loaf and you've got yourself a delicious home-cooked family meal in no time. Perfect for when the little ones come rushing in to warm up from a snowball fight.
To help wash down the meal of the century, SPAR also has great deals on soft drinks. From now until December 13, you can get any two for £3 on two-litre bottles of Fanta Fruit Twist, Fanta Lemon, Fanta Orange, 7up Sugar Free, Dr Pepper and Sprite.
Great deals aren't the only thing on the shelf
SPAR's Big Deals of Christmas is the gift that keeps on giving.
With plenty more deals soon to drop into your local store, you can now stock up on one all-important essential - toilet roll.
As well as being incredibly useful for obvious reasons over the festive period, once the toilet roll is all gone, the empty tubes can be turned into some marvellous handmade creations.
Twas the big deal of Christmas
Twas the time before Christmas, when all through the house,
People were preparing, even the mouse.
The cupboards were full with goodies from SPAR,
And more deals galore, came from afar...
Just in time for those endless Christmas parties you're convinced into hosting each year, this week's Big Deal of Christmas from SPAR makes sure that you'll never run out of this bathroom necessity.
From now until December 13, you can get a nine-pack of Velvet Comfort toilet roll for just £3.49.
Once each roll is done, keep the kids entertained with an arts and crafts session. While you get your present wrapping done, they can get creative and design a new angel for the top of the tree.
As well as providing an excellent body for a Christmas tree angel topper, empty loo rolls provide a blank canvas for your children's imagination to run wild and decorate the house while you enjoy a well-earned glass of eggnog and a mince pie.
However, if the shoe is on the other foot and you're the one needing to create a little mischief, look no further, as the empty toilet roll tubes can be used to come up with wacky Elf on the Shelf ideas.
You might even use the toilet roll itself to showcase how your little house Elf thinks it's better than tinsel, but just remember to fold it back up and use it for something afterwards, as even naughty Christmas Elves don't like waste!
To find out more about how SPAR is helping you find great value for your money and to shop the Big Deals of Christmas, take a trip to your local SPAR store.
