Tesco has brought back its popular Christmas markets, with shoppers able to pick up festive treats and samples at 164 stores across the UK.
The pop-up markets launched on 7 November and will run until 18 December, with stalls set up in the car parks of selected Tesco Extra and Superstores.
Visitors will be able to sample products from a range of well-known brands, including Cadbury, Tassimo, Pepsi, Lurpak and McCain.

The festive activity will also include goodie bags for shoppers purchasing two or more participating products.
Tesco is running an Instagram competition alongside the markets, encouraging visitors to share photographs using the hashtag #HelpingYouBecomeMoreChristmas for the chance to win a £250 gift card.
The return of the markets comes as the supermarket prepares for its busiest trading period of the year.
Tesco is recruiting more than 28,000 temporary workers across the UK to help meet demand over Christmas, as reported by What’s The Jam.
The majority of positions will be based in its Superstores and Extra branches, with staff helping customers in-store or picking orders for home delivery.

Shifts will be available throughout the day, including early mornings and evenings, with no previous experience required.
Tesco has also said some temporary workers could have the opportunity to move into permanent positions after Christmas, where vacancies become available.
