Tesco has become one of the first major retailers to reveal what’s in its Christmas stocking this year, including a host of sweet and savoury new bakery products.

When it comes to flavours, Tesco has opted to celebrate with fan favourites such as Black Forest, chocolate, salted caramel, and on-trend speculoos.

The UK’s largest supermarket has also gone big on vegan options this year with several new additions to its Wicked Kitchen and Plant Chef ranges, including portobello mushroom wellingtons, beet & horseradish pastry parcels and spiced rum Christmas pudding.

Here, we’ve rounded up some of the notable new products hitting shelves in time for Christmas:
