Yes, we are fully aware that Christmas is a time for giving but surely you can give yourself a little treat too? We’re not talking Christmas presents from you to you, more of a little food or drink gift to yourself to enjoy between now and Christmas or even after Christmas.
Food
Everything about food throughout the festive few days focuses on the main day itself, because Christmas Day is the family gathering or even Boxing Day when you eat leftovers and have a party. But how about a treat on the 23rd December or 29th December – let’s be fair Christmas is the whole of December, right?
Cooplands Xmas Treats, £1.10 to £5.49 from Cooplands
Yes, yes, and yes to everything from Cooplands this Christmas. Festive Pork Pies, Yule Logs, Mince Pies, Christmas Muffins, Stollen Bites, Truffle Logs, and Fruit Cake – is your mouth watering yet?
Eat Lean Cheese, £2.50 to £4.50 from Eatlean
Want cheese but want it to be a little healthier this month? Take a look at Eat Lean’s cheese bake, snack bars, smoked cheese, and spreadable cheese. Cheese and crackers are calling your name right now!
Christmas Beef Box, £15.63 per person from Thrive Boxes
Because there is always way too much turkey at Christmas-time, why not go all out and indulge in the beefiest Christmas ever! Go for something different and get a Sirlion Striploin, Dauphinoise potatoes, and red onion gravy and you’ll be insanely happy.
Three Bird Roast, £65 to £143 from James Alexander Fine Foods
Why have just one bird this Christmas when you can have three! James Alexander Fine Foods’ three bird roasts are boneless, easy to carve, full of flavour and will impress.

Make yourself some homemade pickled onions to have with leftover turkey in the days following 25th Dec. You can’t go wrong with some delicious tangy pickles, especially if you’ve gone to the effort of pickling them yourself. Recipes online.
Drinks
You’ve stock piled Champagne for the Christmas dinner, you’ve got your relatives their favourite beer, and your fridge is full of wine. Stop right there, get yourself something extra and make it fabulous!
Abacaty Avocado Cream Liqueur, £27.90 from Master of Malt

World of Zing Salted Caramel Espresso Martini, £22 from World of Zing
When Christmas comes calling you need a handcrafted blend of vodka, coffee liqueur, cold brew coffee, and salted caramel to get you through. This is super indulgent and can double as your dessert if you’re just too full to have pudding during the festivities. You’re welcome!
