Sainsbury’s Christmas sandwich range includes a new treacle ham and cranberry Wensleydale sarnie
SAINSBURY'S has unveiled its festive treats for lunchtime shoppers including a new treacle ham and cranberry Wensleydale sarnie.
You can get your hands on the seasonal menu from November 4, when it'll be launching in all Sainsbury's stores across the UK.
The range includes a variety of nine Christmas sarnies such as the newly launched Sainsbury’s On The Go Ham & Wensleydale, which costs £2.25.
Inside the sarnie, you'll find succulent treacle-flavoured ham as well as Wensleydale cheese with tasty cranberries, bringing the nostalgic flavour of Christmas to lunchtime.
Fans of German food can also try the indulgent Sainsbury's Go Christmas Market Sandwich for £3.
Made with tender ham hock, pickles, sauerkraut and tasty beer mayonnaise, it's a tribute to flavours and food you'll find at a traditional German Christmas market during the festive season.
For those who favour vegan options, the supermarket is also releasing the On The Go Vegan Christmas New Yorker for £2.25.
It is made from coconut cheese, gherkins and red cabbage, all topped with festive chutney
