There is chocolate, caramel, and hazelnuts galore in Tesco’s 2026 Christmas bakery range, plus a hefty dose of booze courtesy of Guinness, amaretto, and brandy.
The retailer has gone big on indulgence with a brightly coloured yule log, jewelled mince pies, molten chocolate puddings, and even chocolate & hazelnut sourdough unveiled as part of its festive menu. Take a closer look at its seasonal line-up below:
