Asda has unveiled a Christmas dinner pizza, complete with Brussels sprouts.
However, the retailer’s festive pizza forgoes the traditional turkey and is instead topped with chicken, roast potatoes, Brussels sprouts and is drizzled with cranberry sauce.
It’s available from 7 December and costs £2.60 for a 10-inch and £4.00 for a 14-inch pizza.
Reaction so far has been mixed, with some on Twitter eager to try the Christmas creation, while others shun it because of the veg or the use of chicken instead of turkey.
Two of my favourite things are Christmas dinner and pizza. I hear that Asda are combining the two this year. I, for one will be heading there for this festive treat. #sproutsonapizza

Pizza is increasingly used as a carrier of non-traditional toppings, such as a full English, designed to tap into the brunch and breakfast markets. British Baker magazine subscribers can read our pizza feature to find out more.
