From Tesco's handy Christmas dinner in a box to M&S' stunning chocolate pine cones dessert, we've rounded up some of our favourite brand spanking new Christmas food products for 2016.
Christmas is the perfect time of year to try something new, and what better way to celebrate than by heading down to your favourite supermarket to pick up some tasty treats for the whole family?
Making everything from scratch isn't for everyone - who really has the time?! But our pick of Christmas foods isn't something you'd be making anyway, whether it's a glossy chocolate log that looks like it came straight from a patisserie (but you won't believe how cheap it is!) to mind-boggling chocolate truffle sprouts that look just like the real deal (you HAVE to see them).
These products will help bring a bit of fun factor to your Christmas table. Sure, everyone is going to have the usual Christmas dinner with all the trimmings, but these little extras and really worth picking up.
Psst… In Christmas planning mode? Take a look at all of our mouth-watering Christmas recipes.
Scroll down to see our favourites. You’re seriously going to be spoilt for choice this year…
