Morrisons has just cut the cost of dozens of Christmas dinner essentials in a commitment to “keep prices low” until the end of the year.
Stuffing, roast potatoes, cranberry sauce, and even tin foil have all seen their prices slashed as the retailer aims to help those struggling amid the rising cost of living crisis.
With a whopping 58 festive food and drink favourites now available to get your hands on from the supermarket‘s 497 stores all across the UK, Morrisons’ decision to make the price cuts well in advance of the big day itself means shoppers can “stock up and spread the cost” of their Christmas staples.
The supermarket says it’s investing over £4 million to keep costs low for customers this Christmas.
All the classic Christmas dinner must-haves and trimmings, like roast potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, cocktail prawns, and sherry trifles are now on offer for an average of 20% less than usual.

On top of that, there’s also a wide range of drinks and nibbles, including Bucks Fizz, tonic, Wensleydale and cranberry cheese, and peanuts, of offer too.
Shoppers can even stock-up on kitchen essentials, such as kitchen foil and napkins, while key ingredients needed to create seasonal bakes have also been cut – including mincemeat, sultanas, pastry, and whipping cream.

According to Morrisons, the 58 items have all been chosen to have their prices cut as they were “particularly popular at Christmas last year”.
The sales of these items were said to have soared by up to 90% throughout the last festive period.

Morrisons’ Chief Customer and Marketing Officer, Rachel Eyre, says the supermarket is “working hard to help” people who are struggling to cover Christmas costs this year.

“We know that Christmas is an expensive time of year and that our customers are having to make tough choices about what to put in their baskets,” she commented.
“We are working hard to help them when it comes to their festive grocery shopping and want to protect them from rising costs, so despite the significant inflation we have seen over the last 12 months, our basket of 58 festive items is cheaper than it was in 2022.”
The cut prices of the 58 items will be locked at the new cheaper cost right up until the new year (31 December).

Manchester City finally release special Year of the Horse collection for Lunar celebrations
Danny Jones
Manchester City have officially launched their new ‘Year of the Horse’ kit, along with several other items in their latest lifestyle range.
The collection, which has been released as part of the Lunar New Year Celebrations, was leaked online in late 2025 before being officially teased earlier this year, but now Man City have fully unveiled the limited edition clothing items.
It follows the commercial success of their previous Chinese New Year-inspired kits and wider fashion lines over the last few seasons.
For anyone not up to speed on their Zodiac calendar knowledge, 2026 is officially (you guessed it) the year of the horse, hence this choice for the new ‘Capsule Collection’.
“Set in earthy, neutral tones, the limited-edition Year of the Horse Capsule Collection captures both the stillness of vintage Chinese portraiture and the motion of a team in full stride.”
Revolving around a grey and almost beige colour palette, the full drop includes a new pre-match ‘Anthem’ jacket, a dark graphic design tee, a baseball cap, as well as a soft horse plushie.
The focal point, however, is obviously the jersey itself – though it remains to be confirmed whether or not the special seasonal strip will be worn in any games this campaign as other one-off/special limited edition shirts have been in the past.
The price points range from £15 for the soft toy to £90 for the adult shirt, with the aforementioned Puma KING Anthem zip-up jacket already available in six colours.
What do you make of the latest lifestyle collection, Blues?
Somewhat fittingly, the Year of the Horse and other items finally debuted on the same day that their local rivals across the other side of town, Manchester United, released some new threads of their own: the second Adidas x The Stone Roses collection.
As for this years Lunar celebrations, the official plans for here in Manchester city centre have now been revealed. You can find out more down below.
Manchester United officially launch second Adidas fashion collab with The Stone Roses
Danny Jones
After several weeks of teasers, the latest fashion collab between Adidas, Manchester United and The Stone Roses has officially revealed.
We have no doubt this one will be lapped up just as quickly as the first.
Following images of the new Stone Roses x Man United kit and the focal point of this new collection being leaked online earlier this month, the second drop by Adidas has now been unveiled in full.
Releasing another stylistic video to the tune of the legendary Manc band’s famous anthem, ‘I Wanna Be Adored’, players both past and present from the men’s and women’s team star in the launch video.
As you can see, not only did the players get involved with the shoot as expected, but the clip also includes a snippet of archive footage featuring a young Ian Brown in a short but profound talking head.
The Stone Roses frontman, and indeed other members of the band, have never made their love of United a secret – none more so than the late, great Gary ‘Mani’ Mounfield – and the supporters have also shared plenty of it back.
Be it through ‘This Is The One’ being chosen by Gary Neville as the official walk-out song at Old Trafford and various chants sung to Stone Roses tunes, to the previous collab back in February 2024, the two iconic cultural brands pretty much go hand in hand.
Besides the next multi-coloured paint-splashed shirt, which leaked first, as well as a new bucket hat (again, very era appropriate), there are scarves, a graphic design t-shirt, two sets of shorts and even two different pairs of shoes.
Images of the white Stone Roses trainers also popped up in leaks across various Man United fan accounts on social media, but few had seen the black ZX 600 Adidas trainers until now.
