A BUDGET supermarket has launched whopping XXL pigs in blankets for Christmas – and it’s not Aldi or Lidl.

With Christmas fast approaching, Iceland has released its Pigs in Blankets range – and it doesn’t disappoint.

The 2 XXL Footlong Pigs in Blankets have stolen the show however – and by the reaction of a similar product at Iceland, customers won’t be able to get enough of them.

One reviewer on the similar item said: “The whole family loved these, really succulent sausages, really good value for money and so tasty!”

Another commented: “Amazing! Proper sausages wrapped in ridiculous amount of bacon!”

And: “A lot bigger than I thought it would be and a very nice taste and easy to cook. Would recommend to anyone who can’t resist a good pig in blanket.”

But the price is just as impressive, selling for only £5 for two.

And there appears to be nothing else on the market similar.

The range also has an incredible Pig in Blanket Giant Baked Yorkshire Pudding that would be a crowd-pleaser at the Christmas dinner table for just £5.

And a Pinwheel Pig in Blanket that’s £5 is also available if you fancy something different to the conventional pigs in blankets.

But for those looking for the normal ones, various options will be available that range from £2.25 to £4.

Iceland recently revealed it’s Christmas 2024 range that will be available in stores and online from November 12.

The items will also be available to buy at Iceland’s The Food Warehouse.

Iceland‘s menu this year offers customers everything they’ll need for Christmas lunch or dinner, but there are some quirky items included as well in case you’re after something a bit different.

Shoppers will be able to feast on mini fish, chip and ketchup sarnies, prawn tacos and an unbelievable XXL pigs in blankets Yorkshire pudding.

The supermarket is also launching battered lobster tails, mini garlic and herb kievs and even some exclusive brands items like Harry Ramsden’s battered mini sausages.

Also returning are familiar favourites such as the turkey crown, mince pies, Christmas pudding and of course all the trimmings like roast potatoes and veg.

Those who want to feast on the exclusive brands range like Galaxy, TGI Fridays and Harry Ramsden’s can do so with the mix-and-match deals like three items for £10.

Iceland’s head of development David Lennox said: “We’ve focused on perfecting the classics and making them the best and most delicious yet, as well as offering our customers a range of innovative and affordable new Christmas products which are sure to delight everyone at the dinner table.

“Iceland has some extra special products on offer this festive season.”
