Gluten-free Christmas FAQs
Which UK supermarkets sell gluten-free Christmas food?
Start with my gluten-free Christmas supermarket guides. I’ve split them by shop so you can see what I found at the supermarket you already use, from mince pies and chocolates to party food and ready-made desserts. The photos show the exact packs to look for.
What can I serve for a gluten-free Christmas dinner?
My Christmas dinner menu starts with a whole roast turkey and includes crispy roast potatoes, stuffing balls, pigs in blankets, Brussels sprouts with bacon and gravy. You’ll find the menu and shopping list in my gluten-free Christmas dinner checklist, with individual recipes for the trimmings further up this page.
What can I prepare on Christmas Eve for a gluten-free Christmas dinner?
Christmas Eve is a good time to get some of the sides ready and make a pudding that can chill overnight. My Christmas dinner checklist and timings sets out what to prep the night before, what to leave until Christmas morning and when everything needs to go in the oven for a 2pm dinner.
What should I check when cooking Christmas dinner for someone with coeliac disease?
Go through the menu with your guest before you shop, including the stuffing, gravy and pudding. My guide to cooking Christmas dinner for a coeliac guest takes you through five steps, from picking products and storing them to getting the meal on the table.
How do I avoid gluten cross-contamination when serving Christmas dinner?
Think about what happens when everyone starts helping themselves. It’s easy for a serving spoon to go from one dish to another or for crumbs from ordinary crackers to end up on the cheeseboard. The serving section of my guide to hosting a coeliac guest covers those moments as well as what to check in the kitchen.
What gluten-free Christmas desserts can I make ahead?
My no-bake Baileys cheesecake and five-ingredient strawberry trifle are both good options if you want to make pudding on Christmas Eve and serve it chilled. If you’d prefer a warm pudding, there’s sticky toffee pudding in my gluten-free Christmas dessert recipes too.
Can I make gluten-free mince pies, Christmas cake and yule log?
Yes, all three are in my gluten-free Christmas baking recipes. You’ll also find gingerbread people, stollen bites and shortbread wreaths if you’re after something for the biscuit tin or a homemade gift.
What gluten-free party food can I make for a Christmas buffet?
Try sausage rolls, sesame prawn toast or a pull-apart doughball wreath with Camembert. My gluten-free party food recipe collection has savoury ideas and bite-sized desserts for a buffet, drinks party or Boxing Day spread.
What alcohol can I buy for a gluten-free Christmas?
My UK guide to gluten-free alcohol covers beer, wine, cider, spirits and mixers, with links to ten gluten-free supermarket beers, including a 0.0% lager. There’s also a Christmas drinks section with ideas for mulled wine and spiced apple juice.
Where should I start if this is my first gluten-free Christmas?
If you’re cooking, start with the Christmas dinner checklist so you can get the menu and shopping sorted together. If someone else is hosting, you can share my guide to cooking for a coeliac guest when you talk through the meal with them.
