This Christmas, ALDI is rewriting the rules of the festive feast with a starter and sides selection that transports shoppers across continents – all without leaving the comfort of their kitchen. Sure, the classics are still here (looking at you, Pigs in Blankets and luxurious Smoked Salmon), but this year they’re joined by vibrant newcomers that invite hosts to mix, match and celebrate the season with a sense of adventure.
Entertain in true Italian style, where grazing is as much about atmosphere as it is about flavour. Start your spread with the Specially Selected Italian Charcuterie Platter €3.59, a board of silky, truffle-kissed cuts that practically begs to be shared. Add depth with the Italian Antipasto with Provola Cheese €6.99, where smoky provola meets delicately seasoned coppa and Milano salami. Together, they set the tone for a table that’s generous, sociable and unmistakably Italian.
Take your guests on a journey east with flavours inspired by Asia’s bustling street-food scenes. Kick off with Specially Selected Bao Buns €4.19, from soft pillowy buns filled with duck, chicken teriyaki or festive sriracha prawn. Bring heat and crunch with Specially Selected Prawn Toast/Prawns in Blankets €4.99, a certified crowd-pleaser that disappears the moment it hits the table. Elevate your spread with Specially Selected Dim Sum €4.99, delicate handmade parcels that add colour, texture and a hit of irresistible umami.
For a spread guaranteed to put the feliz in Feliz Navidad. Impress your guests with Specially Selected Jamón de Cebo Ibérico €6.99 the hero of any Spanish Christmas table.
