A BUDGET supermarket has launched whopping XXL pigs in blankets for Christmas - and it's not Aldi or Lidl.
The big day is still 63 days away, but it's always good to plan ahead for the merry season and get the seasonal food in.
With Christmas fast approaching, Iceland has released its pigs in blankets range - and it doesn't disappoint.
It forms part of its festive food range and the delight will contain two XXL pigs in blankets.
The pork-based snack will weigh a hefty 500g.
Shoppers can expect to pay £5 for the item.
This is not the first time Iceland has sold mega-sized pigs in blankets.
The retailer already sells 2 XXL Footlong Pigs in Blankets and they have proved to be a hit with customers.
For example, one reviewer said: "The whole family loved these, really succulent sausages, really good value for money and so tasty!"
Another commented: "Amazing! Proper sausages wrapped in ridiculous amount of bacon!"
And: "A lot bigger than I thought it would be and a very nice taste and easy to cook. Would recommend to anyone who can't resist a good pig in blanket."
And there appears to be nothing else on the market similar.
The range also has an incredible pig in blanket Giant Baked Yorkshire Pudding that would be a crowd-pleaser at the Christmas dinner table for just £5.
And a Pinwheel Pig in Blanket that's £5 is also available if you fancy something different to the conventional pigs in blankets.
But for those looking for the normal ones, various options will be available that range from £2.25 to £4.
Iceland recently revealed it's Christmas 2024 range that will be available in stores and online from November 12.
The items will also be available to buy at .
Iceland's menu this year offers customers everything they'll need for Christmas lunch or dinner, but there are some quirky items included as well in case you're after something a bit different.
Shoppers will be able to feast on mini fish, chip and ketchup sarnies, prawn tacos and an unbelievable XXL pigs in blankets Yorkshire pudding.
The supermarket is also launching battered lobster tails, mini garlic and herb kievs and even some exclusive brand items like Harry Ramsden's battered mini sausages.
Also returning are familiar favourites such as the turkey crown, mince pies, Christmas pudding and of course all the trimmings like roast potatoes and veg.
Those who want to feast on the exclusive brand's range like Galaxy, TGI Fridays and Harry Ramsden's can do so with the mix-and-match deals like three items for £10.
Iceland's head of development David Lennox said: "We’ve focused on perfecting the classics and making them the best and most delicious yet, as well as offering our customers a range of innovative and affordable new Christmas products which are sure to delight everyone at the dinner table.
"Iceland has some extra special products on offer this festive season."

Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save money on your Christmas shopping.
Limit the amount of presents - buying presents for all your family and friends can cost a bomb.
Instead, why not organise a Secret Santa between your inner circles so you're not having to buy multiple presents.
Plan ahead - if you've got the stamina and budget, it's worth buying your Christmas presents for the following year in the January sales.
Make sure you shop around for the best deals by using price comparison sites so you're not forking out more than you should though.
Buy in Boxing Day sales - some retailers start their main Christmas sales early so you can actually snap up a bargain before December 25.
Delivery may cost you a bit more, but it can be worth it if the savings are decent.
Shop via outlet stores - you can save loads of money shopping via outlet stores like Amazon Warehouse or Office Offcuts.
They work by selling returned or slightly damaged products at a discounted rate, but usually any wear and tear is minor.
