Heinz has relaunched its Christmas dinner in a tin after it sold out in just two hours last year.
The firm only made 500 cans of the soup in 2021 but after its surprising popularity, a whopping 20,000 tins, including a vegan version, will go on sale at selected Asda stores from Thursday.
Among fans of the £2 tin is Hollywood star Drew Barrymore, who described it as "yummy" and "hearty" on her chat show last year.
The classic version is made with turkey breast, potatoes, carrots, parsnips, sprouts, cranberry sauce, pigs in blankets and sage and onion stuffing balls.
The vegan version, meanwhile, features a gravy flavoured sauce with a variety of vegetables and vegan sausage and stuffing balls.
Heinz Soups’ Bahar Kiransa said: “After last year’s reaction, bringing it back was a no-brainer.
“We’ve been hard at work all year perfecting our recipes for both the meat and vegan versions.”
Heinz predict this year's tins will "sell like hot cakes".
As you might imagine, not everyone is impressed by the idea of a Christmas dinner in a tin.
One person on Twitter wrote: "Oh wow, don't think I'd be too happy if I sat down to this - the dinner is the best part!"
Another wrote: "I have seen and heard about this- I won't be trying it unless I don't for some reason have the ability to chew my own food at Christmas!!!!"
But some people were keen to give it a go:
One wrote: "I'd try it....and my guess is that I'd like it!....just not in place of an actual Christmas dinner though!"
Although it's unlikely people will be serving up Heinz tins on Christmas Day, it seems many of us wouldn't mind a helping hand when it comes to preparing that perfect festive feast.
Research, commissioned by Tesco, found one in 10 adults struggle to make good gravy at Christmas, with 21% wanting a dedicated gravy-helper on hand.
Meanwhile, 24% would like assistance pairing Christmas dinner with exactly the right drinks.
Other areas difficult to master, according to participants in the survey, include keeping the turkey nice and moist and finding delicious meat-free alternatives.
Research commissioned by Heinz, meanwhile, showed that almost a quarter of people in the UK would eat Christmas Dinner everyday if they could.
