'supermarket pass ends on the holidays' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'pass ends on the holidays' is the wordplay.
'pass' becomes 'col' (col is a term for a mountain pass).
'ends on' suggests the final letters (I've seen 'ending on' mean this).
The last letters of 'the holidays' are 'es'.
'col'+'es'='COLES'
