KFC launches Christmas dinner box featuring Festive Burger with fried hash brown and stuffing mayonnaise

KFC has launched a new burger for the festive season and it comes with a fried hash brown and a stuffing mayonnaise - and you can get your hands on it from today.

Forget turkey, because the aptly named Festive Burger comes with one piece of original recipe fried chicken too.

The lunchtime centrepiece is then topped with a sage and onion stuffing mayonnaise, a tangy cranberry dressing and a layer of cheese.

You can buy the burgers on their own for £4.59 or you can get into the true spirit of Christmas by upgrading it to a festive meal.

The fast-food chain has also added Festive Fries to the menu, which are sprinkled with a smokey seasoning that's made with pepper, toasted onions, garlic and herbs.

On their own, they cost £1.49 for a regular or £2.39 for a large.

And as if that's not enough, you can complete your meal with the mint chocolate flavoured Krushem for pud that costs £2.79.

The soft vanilla ice cream is drizzled with chocolate and mint sauce, sprinkled with Cookie Crunch and topped with a glittery chocolate bow.

A meal - which comes with a side of fries and a drink - costs £5.59, while a box will set you back £6.89.

But before you go tucking into the lot on a daily basis, you should probably be aware that they're pretty calorific.

The KFC burgers alone contain 640 calories, compared to the 475 that are in a fillet burger, and a Krushem has 390 in it.

A regular portion of Festive Fries have 255 calories, while a large has 355 compared with 250 and 345 of the original chips of the same size.

Meanwhile, a Festive burger meal will set you back 885 calories and a box meal contains a huge 1,210 calories.

To put it in perspective, women are recommended to have 2,000 calories a day while it's 2,500 for men.

The festive delights are fine to eat in moderation and will be available to buy until January 1.

You can also get yours delivered to your door using Deliveroo although you'll need to fork out for the extra for the courier charges.

It's also worth noting that prices may vary depending on what branch you go to.

This is because around 95 per cent of the 870 restaurants in the UK are franchises meaning that they can set their own prices.

You can find your nearest diner using the store.

It's not the only fast food joint to launch as festive menu - Subway has ditched the turkey and introduced a Christmas garlic bread steak sub instead.

Greggs is also bringing back its festive bake and pots of pigs in blankets.

Pizza Express has also brought back its snowball dough balls and mince pie dolcetti in time for the festive season.
