While the last of the summer sun may still be shining, Christmas planning is well underway at IndyBest. In August we snagged an early look at this year's best beauty advent calendars and now, we’ve had a preview of this year’s festive food lineups. Supermarkets are already unveiling their Christmas menus for 2026 and after seeing some of the dishes first hand, I can say there’s lots to be excited about.
So far, I’ve had a sneak peek at Tesco, Sainsbury’s, and Morrisons’s food and drink that you’ll eventually be able to order for the big day – and there are plenty of standout creations. Tesco is playing into our love of pickles with its arancini sticks with chorizo and cornichon, while Morrisons is satisfying our love of pigs in blankets with a giant version for 2026. Over at Sainsbury’s, the supermarket has created a tasty spin on the festive song with its ‘driving home this Christmas’ dessert, featuring chocolate mousse with a hidden brownie salted caramel centre.
