ITS CHRISTMAAAAAS! 🎅🎄🎉
(Sorry I had to start the blog post with that! 😂)
Once again this year there are so many amazing gluten free products out there on the shelves that are such a treat! There is absolutely all sorts from your classic party food (fingers crossed anyway, maybe minus the party bit 😆) to your classics; Christmas pudding's and mince pies.
So lets kick off with the first supermarket, Tesco:
1) Nairn's gluten free savoury biscuit selection
Definitely a returning favourite for me! The Nairn's gluten free savoury selection is back! You get 6 different flavours of crackers from cracked black pepper to cheese oatcakes. These are so delicious and perfect for this time of year! These are £3.75 which is really great value for the amount of crackers you get in there!
2) Christmas Pudding
Now I am not personally a huge fan of Christmas Pudding but I know this will be a favourite to some people! This is gluten free and also milk free and egg free, so perfect if you have allergies to milk or eggs. It's also vegan! The Tesco own Christmas pudding is priced at £3.75.
3) Cookie selection
This is exactly what it says on the tin (..well box) Tesco's finest cookie selection. These are a huge favourite for me, I bought these last year also and they are absolutely delicious! These are priced at £4.00 and you get Belgian chocolate cookies, Belgian dark chocolate with sour cherries and Belgian chocolate with warm Christmas spices - the perfect Christmas cookies!
4) Orange and maple shortbread
I am a huge fan of shortbread at Christmas, I love dunking them into my cuppa! These are a gorgeous Christmassy flavour as well - orange and maple! How cute is the tin though? You could definitely keep it and re-use it! Their Orange and Maple shortbread is priced at £4.00.
5) Panettone
6) Chocolate Christmas Trees
Tesco's own chocolate Christmas Trees are back again this year, they almost remind me of them chocolate animal biscuits you had as a kid.. you will know what I mean if you have tried them 😄 these are also milk free and vegan.
7) Sausage Roll puffs
I think these may be new at Tesco this year as I have not seem them before. Sausage roll flavour puffs.. I mean if you are a huge sausage roll fan, these are perfect for you 😄 Just in time as well as Walker's have just released sausage roll crisps which are not gluten free.. so up yours Walkers!
8) Turkey and stuffing bites
I am sure these were on the shelves last year unless I am thinking of something else. I do actually really like turkey flavoured crisps (Aldi have some also if you scroll further down) It's like Christmas dinner but in a crisp 😄 These are priced at £1.50 and at the moment they are included in a 2 for £2.00 offer on selected Tesco party snacks.
9) Green jalepeno peppers
If you like spice then these are definitely the perfect party food snack for you! I am not personally a fan of Jalepenos so I will stay clear of this one 😆 they are basically peppers stuffed with soft cheese and coated in breadcrumbs.
10) Mini BBQ ribs
11) Chicken Tikka Masala bites
These are another party food item that I had last year and these are delicious. You get 12 bites in the pack. When I first saw these last year I was so surprised that they were gluten free. They are spiced chicken & rice bites coated in a crisp crumb.
12) Ham & Cheese croquettes
Got to love croquettes and a ham & cheese flavour?! What a treat! You get 12 in the pack and they contain smoked ham, mozzarella and cheddar coated in a gluten free parsley breadcrumb.. delicious!
Aldi:
1) Mince Pies
Aldi's mince pies have returned again this year, you get 4 in a pack and they are also milk free. These are priced at £1.35 a pack.
2) Sponge Puddings
Another returning favourite at Aldi this year, I also love how the packaging has changed on their Christmas products. These are the sponge puddings and they do two flavours; syrup and chocolate. I bought some of the Chocolate ones again this year and probably will do again in a few weeks time 😄 you get 2 sponges in each pack and these are priced at £1.79 each, which is great value!
3) Christmas Pudding
Another returning favourite from Aldi this year, their free from Christmas Pudding. This serves 4 people and is also vegan. From memory I think this was £2.39 but I will double check next time I go!
4) Christmas Crisps - Turkey & Stuffing, Pigs in Blanket and Turkey & Stuffing flavoured Tortilla Crisps
So I have tried the turkey and stuffing and the pigs in blankets before and I think they are really nice. As I said a bit further up the turkey and stuffing one is literally like a Christmas dinner in a crisp 😄 what's not to love?! I'm not sure I have seen the tortillas before, so I think they might be new this year. These are just 75p each so cheaper than the Tesco ones!
5) Gingerbread frosting & chocolate orange frosting
Marks and Spencer:
1) Chocolate dipped honeycomb
How delicious does this chocolate dipped honeycomb look?! It's also the perfect stocking filler for Christmas. Love the idea!
2) Mince Pies
The classic gluten free mince pies.. I'm not a huge fan of them but the M&S ones are really nice. There is just something about M&S food, it's all great quality and you can't really go wrong with it!
3) Christmas Cake Bites
These are not within the made without wheat packaging but they have a cheeky gluten free symbol on the front! They look delicious!
4) Christmas Cake
An actual iced Christmas cake! Now this is something I haven't found anywhere else. How cute is the Christmas tree pattern on it?! Great expiry date as well so if you just wanted to get it in and keep for Christmas or after you could!
5) Tortilla Stars
I am a huge fan of M&S crisps as they have such a good range, loads that are naturally gluten free. These Christmas ones look perfect for chips and dip 😄 maybe for Christmas Eve?!
6) Christmas Pudding
Of course the classic Christmas pudding is back this year at M&S! Not only is it gluten free but it is dairy free as well which is fab!
7) Iced fruit cake
Another returning favourite at M&S this year - this looks perfect to have with a cuppa! Again like all fruit cakes, great expiry date so you can buy and keep it in the cupboard for Christmas.
Party food: So the majority of the standard party food listed below was £5.00 each and the M&S collection products were £7.00 each. They are on the pricey side which is why I did not buy loads to try but they are all on a 4 for 3 offer if you did fancy getting a few of them in, which is handy!
1) Mini chicken kievs
2) Delish pigs in blankets
A must on the Christmas dinner! I have never tried these ones from M&S but I can imagine they are just as nice as the other party foods. The thing with M&S is that it's always great quality, you can never go wrong with them really!
3) Sticky Asian style chicken lollipops:
Now I was really lucky with this one because I managed to find them in the reduced section 😄 reduced to £3.94 so I had to buy them!! I have frozen these for our usual Christmas Eve party food dinner, so I will let you all know what I think of them over on my insta! How amazing do they look though!!
4) Prawns in blankets
What an amazing twist on the classic pigs in blankets! I absolutely love prawns, so I will definitely be buying these next time I go to M&S. These were reduced as well, but I didn't buy these this time because I bought the Kievs and the lollipops 😄
5) Sticky chicken Yakitori kebabs
Honestly, I just love the look of all of the party food this year at M&S so I think these look amazing as well! Another one that I will definitely be buying when I next go!
Morrisons (features gifted products):
1) Rudi the Reindeer Yule Log
How amazing is Rudi the Reindeer Yule Log though?! Chocolate cake is my favourite type of cake so I am so excited about this! I have tried some of him and can confirm the chocolate cake is amazing.
2) Truffles advent calendar
Yep! You heard it right! A Morrison's gluten & milk free truffle advent calendar! How cool is this?! So luxurious as well 😄 can't wait to start on the 1st December!
3) Christmas Pudding
Two Christmas pudding's from Morrisons this year - the larger one is also milk free. The larger one serves four people and the smaller 3 months matured one serves one person. How amazing is the packaging on the little one as well? Love it!
4) Chocolate Christmas Game
How cute is this little reindeer chocolate game?! It's a perfect stocking filler for the little ones! Not only gluten free but milk free as well.
5) Gingerbread and Butterscotch pudding
I mean how amazing does this look?! Gingerbread and Butterscotch.. the perfect Christmas combo. This is so ideal for a Christmas day pudding if you are not into Christmas pud!
6) Maple crumble mince pies
Well it's fair to say these got demolished within 5 mins of opening them 😄 I've talked about further up how I am not a huge fan of mince pies but honestly these tasted so amazing. They're not only gluten free but milk free as well. It's such a great twist on the classic mince pie.
7) Pannetone
Mini Panettone, how cute! Gluten free & vegan. Another perfect stocking filler!
8) Onion ring crisps
I am so glad Morrisons have bought these out because Morrisons is much closer to me than Tesco, so I can't always get to Tesco 😄 Onion ring crisps are my absolute fave and they're also perfect for snacking at Christmas! These are also milk free which is a bonus! Someone recommended to me on Instagram that you dip them in a sour cream & chive dip so I will definitely be doing this!!
9) Cracker selection
How amazing do these look?! The herb and onion one sounds sooo good, I've never had herb & onion crackers before but they sound right up my street! They are also milk free which is a bonus. A must at Christmas!
10) Shortbread
These sound amazing also! Shortbread selection that's not only gluten free but milk free as well! Milk free shortbread!! Looking forward to tucking into these 😋
Co-Op:
1) Chocolate Yule log brownies
Need I say anymore about these beauties! Returning favourite from the co-op again this year, I tried these last year for the first time and was not disappointed!
2) White Chocolate & Cranberry Cookies & Dark Chocolate, Spiced Rum & Raisin Cookies:
How amazing are the flavours for these cookies?! Bravo Co-Op! They are classic Christmas flavours and look delicious. Got to love a Christmas cookie! These are £2.25 each which I do find to be quite on the expensive side!
3) Burnt caramel sponge pudding
Caramel is another favourite flavour of mine and this looks absolutely delicious. It's £4.50 which isn't too bad as it's quite big. Again another perfect alternative to Christmas pudding if you are not a fan, on Christmas Day.
4) Mince Pies
Another returning favourite from the Co-Op. They are not only gluten free but milk free as well. They are also £2.00 which I think is really good value.
5) Cranberry & Orange Tiffin Bites and Mini Iced Fruit Cake Bites
How cute are these though?! I think these would be really good to wrap us as a stocking filler. They're the perfect size! Not only gluten free but milk free and egg free also, so perfect if you have multiple allergies. These are £2.50 per pack which is not bad!
