Aldi has launched its indulgent Christmas range, filled with old favourites and appealing new additions - and, from the 21 products announced today, we have selected the top five best buys.
While the German-born supermarket has everything you need for a traditional yuletide meal, it has also launched interesting alternatives to spice things up.
'Party food' is a prime example of where Aldi wasn't afraid to go off piste, with the retailer now serving up Breaded Chicken Doughnuts, Bao Buns and Wagyu Beef Sliders amongst other finger foods.
And while Aldi has announced 21 Christmas products today, there's still much more to come.
Julie Ashfield, managing director of buying at Aldi, said: 'This is just a taste of what’s to come at the Christmas Retailer of the Year so shoppers should keep an eye out for more!'
The four alcoholic beverages included in this year's Christmas range are already available in stores, with the other products set to hit shelves over the next few weeks and months.
