Christmas Food Inspiration For All Tastes

I am a huge fan of Christmas food! All the delectable treats are always worth the wait, especially after this year! Shops started stocking up on Christmas food inspiration weeks ago. And I will admit to partaking in a bag or two of pretzels already. It has to be done!

You maybe finding it hard to be motivated for the festive season. But who doesn’t like to indulge in cakes and treats at this time of year? I’ve featured some tried and tested foods below that you may like and get you in the Christmas spirit…

Bradfords Bakers Food Hamper

Food Hamper Gifts from Bradfords Bakers

Treat mail has brought delight to many households throughout the UK and beyond this year. So what better treat to send than cake… and lots of it! I only wish I had known about Bradfords Food Hampers sooner, though my waist line would probably disagree!

Unsure on what gifts to send family and friends that you may not see this Christmas? Then why not gift them a food hamper that everyone can enjoy?

Bradfords Christmas Food Hamper

I knew the Rudolph Christmas Gift Box would be a hit with Liv! Filled with lots of yummy handbaked Rudloph inspired cakes and shortbread. The selection would delight all ages and is perfect for a family gift.

Priced at £44.90, this food gift box is filled with lots of Christmas inspired treats. From handmade shortcrust Brandy mince pies which were gone in an instant. A cute chocolate fudge Rudolph inspired cake and the most delicious chocolate covered shortbread with Rudolph face. The box is worth buying just for this alone!

The box also includes a Bradfords preserve and marmalade and Bradfords traditional farmhouse sultana fruit cake. Walkers shortbread biscuits, Farmhouse biscuits, Praline chocolate filled Santa boot and jar of traditional Jelly Bean sweets. Add your own personal message in the included gift card. A reassurance that any recipient will thoroughly enjoy the super yummy contents!

All bakery goods are handmade at the Bradfords bakery in Scotland. Their site features a vast array of yummy treats that can be sent internationally too, at any time of year.

Bradfords also offer cupcake deliveries and also deliveries of balloons for all occasions too!

Skinny Food Co

Skinny Food Co

For the fitness junkies who would rather not indulge too much over Christmas, let me introduce Skinny Food Co. Who offer a fantastic range of foods and tasty condiments to complement meals.

From zero calorie Salted Caramel Skinny Syrup and low sugar jam, to low sugar bread mix and even Fake Away Sugar Free Curry Sauce! Anyone following lazy Keto, low carb/low sugar or gluten free diets, you definitely need these items in your kitchen cupboards!

The Skinny Food Co range is fantastic! If you are looking to bake on Keto, their zero calorie Golden Syrup is a must try! The one thing I miss whilst following Keto is toast. Especially when the weather calls for comfort food, so I’m looking forward to trying out the low sugar bread mix!

You can pick up the range from the Skinny Food Co site, alongside the Co-op, Spar, Holland & Barrett and Morrison’s.

Festive Food survival kit from Spice pots

Festive Food Survival Kit

This Christmas will be like no other. But why not spice it up and try out new dishes with your leftovers? The Festive Food Survival Kit from Spice Pots (£14.95) is one of many fabulous Indian spices and curry kits available. Filled with 4 of the cutest spice post featuring Bhuna, Korma and Goan spices, alongside Sweet Spice.

The kit also features a recipe book with tantilising recipe inspiration for your Christmas leftovers. A Christmas gift with a difference! Not only is it a great gift to give, but a fabulous treat for your own kitchen too!

Tesco Salted Caramel Pretzel Mix Christmas Food Treats

Salted Caramel Chocolate, Peanut & Pretzel Mix

This is my absolute favourite Christmas treat! There was a part of me that didn’t want to mention anything as I want all the packs for myself! The Salted Caramel Chocolate, Peanut & Pretzel Mix from Tesco (£2.29) is part of their Christmas range. Currently available in stores.

I may have already enjoyed a bag… or two, just to check the mix is amazing as I remembered! And it is! A totally different take on the traditional pretzel mix. With the addition of chocolate discs and balls really does add a different taste sensation. A must have for the festive period!
