YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Food Aldi’ s Christmas food for 2020 includes a 2-metre pig in blanket and melting chocolate snowmen By You Magazine - October 15, 2020 As autumn steamrolls on we only get closer and closer to Christmas, which to us means one thing: Christmas food. We’ve already had the festive foodie offerings of Tesco, Morrisons and Waitrose unveiled, and now we get a peek at what Aldi will be serving up this Crimbo, too. And the Aldi Christmas food 2020 line-up is huge: from a heaving seafood offering to even more vegan and vegetarian centrepieces and sides than ever before, this is shaking up to be a good Christmas (food-wise, anyway). And for those who’ve had enough of turkey crowns over the years, say hello to a wealth of alternative meaty showstoppers, from Wagyu beef joints to stuffed whole duck. Make sure to leave room for dessert, which this year sees the likes of a shimmering Christmas pud alternative (spiked with damson plum and pink gin) and a decadent layered pavlova stack. It might all look luxurious, but the price tags are still classically Aldi and purse-friendly. Having already done a full run down of Aldi’s party food and canapés (and the ever popular wine advent calendar), let’s now take a look at everything else, from your smoked salmon breakfast to a rather festive blueberry gin tipple.
