Christmas fanatics can tuck into their festive feast early, as Heinz is set to restock thousands of its best-selling Christmas dinner in a tin on supermarket shelves this week.
The Christmas Dinner Big Soup - which sold out in a couple of hours last year - will be back in participating Asda stores from Thursday, November 24.
Priced at £2 - which is 50p more expensive than last year - Heinz has says that the hearty soup is "ideal comfort food for those long winter nights."
Packed full of some of festive favourites, including turkey breast, stuffing and pigs in blankets, the soup takes the stress out of cooking as it takes just two minutes in the microwave.
This time round, Heinz has said that 20,000 tins will go available for everyone to try this Thursday, alongside a brand new vegan version.
The plant-based version of the meaty soup is crammed full of veggies and boasts vegan sausage and stuffing balls, while still delivering on those must have Christmassy flavours.
The viral chunky soup was launched last year after Heinz discovered that nearly a quarter of us Brits who celebrate Christmas would eat Christmas dinner every day if we could.
In response, the food manufacturer came up with the Christmas Dinner Big Soup which initially only sold 500 tins in its first limited-edition trial last year.
The soup proved to be so popular that it was completely wiped from online shelves from eager shoppers within a mere matter of hours.
And it wasn't just the Brits who were obsessed with the soup, as Charlie's Angels actress, Drew Barrymore, hailed the soup as "hearty" and "yummy" on her chat show last year.
Bahar Kiransa, Marketing Manager, Heinz Soups said: "After last year’s reaction to Heinz Christmas Dinner Big Soup, bringing it back again this year was a no brainer. So, we are so excited to relaunch our sensational seasonal addition to Heinz’s Big Soup family, and this time on a much larger scale, with a vegan version, too.
"We’ve been hard at work all year perfecting our recipes for both the meat and vegan versions. We are particularly proud to be introducing the vegan version this year, as everyone deserves to be able to try the delicious flavours of our much-loved Heinz Christmas Dinner Soup."
Heinz £2 Christmas Dinner Big Soup will go available at participating Asda branches from Thursday, November 24. Check with Heinz's store finder to see if your local branch will be participating.
