Sort your Secret Santa presents early with Aldi's new Specialbuys festive range

From Christmas candles to festive jumpers, Aldi's latest Specialbuys drop is full of as much festive joy as you might want

With Halloween in the rear-view mirror, now's the time to start focusing on Christmas in earnest. While some people might want to wait until December 1 to put their decorations up, we're very much in the camp of getting them up now - because who doesn't want that festive cheer as early as possible?

If you're on the hunt for new Christmas homeware and festive clothing to get you in the mood, you're in luck, because Aldi's latest Specialbuys range is full of everything you might need for the holiday season. This is the first place to see Aldi's newest and shiniest products, and the festive range will be available in store and online from the week of November 3 - that is, until stocks last.

Even naysayers who think it's too early for Christmas will be impressed, because this particular drop of Aldi Specialbuys isn't necessarily just for festive fare. It has plenty of products to decorate your home beautifully for the season - whether it's an autumnal wooden centrepiece (for £12.99) or a winter lantern, which will brighten up any windowsill for £6.99. And of course, there's all the Christmassy goodies in there too - like the Christmas Bows Votive Candle Gift Set, which would make an ideal Secret Santa present at just £4.99.

Plus, this Specialbuys drop has plenty of fashion picks, too. Even the Scroogiest of Christmas-haters won't be able to resist some of the novelty clothes on offer, from a £9.99 Christmas jumper all the way down to a festive pullover for your dog, clocking in at just £3.99.

If you weren't in the festive mood yet, you soon will be - especially as Christmas bargains start flooding Aldi's Specialbuys aisle. If you wanted to find your nearest shop, all you have to do is search via the store locator on its website.

While there aren't any reviews around yet for this particular drop of Specialbuys, Aldi customers have been getting excited about Christmas online. One user on X (formerly known as Twitter) posted a picture of big tubs of Quality Street, perfect for sharing in December, with the caption: "Bargain in Aldi today £3.89. I’ve bought two to put away for Christmas. If they last that long."

In fact, the supermarket posted on X about how close Christmas really is towards the end of October, with one happy customer replying: "Ah yes… it’ll soon be time for Kevin to make his return. Can’t wait." Another seemed thrilled by last year's homewares range, requesting more of the same with this message: "Will you be doing the Orange Bitters and Pine and Eucalyptus candles again this year? Please tell me, YES!"

But as always, you can't please everyone - and not everyone was so thrilled at the festive chat. "Stop that!" one unhappy customer. "Shhhh," another griped, perhaps thinking it was too early for anything Christmas-related.

If you wanted to shop around, George at Asda has also released its festive range - including products like this Christmas Gonk Hot Water Bottle and Socks Gift Set (£10). For Christmas decor, you could look to Very.co.uk, with gems like this Navy Blueberry Candle Christmas Centrepiece for £25.99.

But whether you're in the mood or not, Aldi's festive Specialbuys range across home, decor and textiles is full of some killer deals - meaning you'll want to stock up on the festive fun now so you'll be well-prepared when the season begins in earnest.
