Tesco reveals its Christmas treats and it includes giant pigs in blankets
CHRISTMAS may still be four months away, but Tesco shoppers can get all the festive feels right now as we reveal the supermarket’s seasonal menu.
Treats you'll be able to tuck into come December 25 include these giant pigs in blankets.
Tesco is selling the giant porkers for £2 for a 274g pack of ten - although the supermarket hasn't said how long each one is.
Each pork sausage has been seasoned with pepper before being hand wrapped in streaky bacon rashers.
These launch on November 23, so you’ve still got a little while before you can pick them up.
But to get you in the festive spirit, here's what else you can expect to find from Tesco this Christmas.
Sadly, the supermarket has yet to reveal its nutritional information.
It's not just Tesco that's feeling jolly - we've spotted Christmas crackers already on sale at a garden centre in Surrey.
Tesco Finest chocolate orange and maple bauble cake (1.08kg) - £13
- Available: November 23, 2020
Cut this cake open and you'll find a hidden centre filled with chocolate cereal malt balls.
The cake itself contains two layers of orange sponge and a layer of chocolate and orange brownie, sandwiched together with Belgian chocolate and orange buttercream.
Tesco has then hand-finished it with a white chocolate bauble decoration and maple flavoured buttercream.
The supermarket says it should serve 14 people, which is ideal for big families.
We couldn't see other supermarkets selling a bauble cake, but watch this space as December gets closer.
Tesco Finest BBQ beef mac and cheese cups - £5
- Available: October 12, 2020
The mac and cheese in these bites has been infused with mustard, so you'll get a fiery kick when you bite into one.
And for an added meaty touch, each one has also been topped with pulled Applewood-smoked beef in a sweet BBQ sauce.
Tesco will be selling these in packs of 12, so plenty for the whole family.
We've asked how much they weigh and we'll update this article when we know more.
If you're not fussed about the added meat, you can save money by buying frozen mac and cheese bites for £1.25 from .

If you're a fan of sausage rolls, you'll love this giant porker "log" by Tesco.
It's made of seasoned pork meat wrapped in puff pastry decorated with festive pastry leaves.
Tesco says it serves ten people, so there should be plenty to go around.

You'll taste sweet malty biscuit notes and warming ginger, enhanced with a subtle coffee bitterness.
Serve it neat over ice or add to hot chocolate or coffee.
Aldi sold a 70cl bottle gingerbread cream liqueur for £9.99 last year, but it's not clear if the supermarket will sell this again in 2020.
