We've not even had Halloween yet but shops are already turning their thoughts to the festive season and a Christmas dinner favourite has made it from the plate to the crisp packet.

No it’s not turkey, roasted parsnips, sprouts or cranberry sauce, for me the best thing about sitting down for dinner after Santa has been is pigs in blankets and they are now a crisp flavour on sale at Tesco.

The sausage and bacon combo is a must on December 25, but you don’t have to wait until you’re settling down to watch the Queen’s Speech to enjoy them as Pigs in Blankets crisps are on shelves across the land already.

Obviously nothing will ever beat the sight, smell and taste of the real thing but if you don’t want to wait for them to heat up in the oven, get the crisps in your shopping trolley now.

These crisps aren't the only festive flavour the supermarket giant is releasing there is a Candy Cane flavour, Pulled Pork and Massamam Curry Crinkle Cut also available in store.

Plus you won't feel guilty buying them either, as 100% of the profits of the Candy Cane flavoured crisps will benefit Tesco’s two food charity partners FareShare and The Trussell Trust.
