Gluten-free supermarket Christmas desserts guide 2024: Tesco

As you probably know by now, I’ll be updating this post as more products pop-up closer to Christmas day – fingers crossed there will be some new and exciting products for us still to come!

However, to manage your expectations, you should also probably know that last year, most supermarket desserts that are suitable for us tend to either be ones that feature all year round (like the profiteroles, Daim Almond Cake, Kirsty’s apple pie, Gu dessert pots etc) or usually some festive roulades or meringue-based desserts. But do keep scrolling for some special, new dessert products (see M&S!) that are gluten-free and not a roulade!

But regardless of whether what I find is new and exciting or not, I’ll still include everything I find here so you know exactly what to expect and where.

Starting with Tesco, which is a great gauge of how high your expectations should be at most supermarkets, you’ve got a decent choice for gluten-free Christmas desserts, though nothing new to get too excited about.

Gluten-free supermarket Christmas desserts guide 2024: Asda

Sadly there’s even less over in Asda than Tesco! They were mostly in the freezers with all the ‘normal’ desserts, with a few options thrown on from the free from chilled aisle for your consideration.

I’m still hoping for more festive desserts to pop-up in Asda, but amongst their large selection currently in store right now, very few products are safe for a gluten-free diet.

If you’ve found any desserts that I haven’t yet, be sure to take a photo of the product and let me know on social media. Thank you! For the time being, here’s everything I could find for now…

Gluten-free supermarket Christmas desserts guide 2024: Sainsbury’s

Since finding the White Rabbit gluten-free classic Tiramisu over in Sainsburys a few weeks ago (and nothing else!) I’ve since added a few new finds here…

Please let Sainsbury’s be an example of how, though the two roulades I’ve posted below are gluten-free, they also had similar variations in similar branded packaging that aren’t safe for Coeliacs; the roulades not featured here all had ‘may contain’ warning for gluten, making them not gluten-free. So please don’t assume that all meringue-based desserts you come across are safe!

Other than that, you’ll find the dessert pots down the free from chiller aisle along with the tiramisu.

Gluten-free supermarket Christmas desserts guide 2024: Marks and Spencer

When I first posted my M&S dessert finds in my main M&S supermarket post, there was only the panna cottas, ganache and meringue-based desserts. As of the 9th of December, I found two new and exciting chocolate and lemon/raspberry puddings too!

These are the types of products I hope to find and highlight in these posts as, in a sea of roulades and free from products that exist all year round anyway, these new products actually bring some level of excitement. Best of all, they’re ‘accidentally’ gluten-free, so we pay the same price as everyone else! Though I will say, the very berry pavlova looks insanely good too!

These two pudding products (along with probably the pavlova and s’mores dessert) set M&S apart from all the other supermarkets in this post for gluten-free Christmas desserts, so definitely head down there and hunt those down if you’re going for a supermarket-bought dessert this year!

Gluten-free supermarket Christmas desserts guide 2024: Aldi

Aldi’s saving grace here has usually been that they usually stock a few suitable gluten-free desserts in their freezer section that are ‘accidentally’ gluten-free. And the good news is that as of the 9th of December, I’ve found even more than last year!

The ice cream cups, macaron and possets are all awesome dessert additions that I didn’t find last year too. Oh and I found another roulade as well – the passion fruit, raspberry and white chocolate one!

Remember though sadly, three of the roulades that were safe last year now have ‘may contain’ warnings for gluten, apart from the ones shown below.

I haven’t seen last year’s double chocolate igloo return yet either, but keep checking back on this post for future updates. If I find it, I’ll include it here!

Gluten-free supermarket Christmas desserts guide 2024: Lidl

We have at least three viable dessert options in Lidl (though two are the exact same flavour!!) Any of these look great to me and especially when almost all supermarkets are stocking less meringue-based desserts that are safe for us to eat, I was grateful to find these few roulades. So many of last year’s roulades etc. now have ‘may contain’ warnings this year, like in Aldi!

Again, with just these safe options, Lidl isn’t definitely somewhere you should rush to for gluten-free desserts, but as I said, if you’re passing, please bear these in mind. Hopefully I’ll be able to update this post with more as Christmas nears!

Gluten-free supermarket Christmas desserts guide 2024: Morrisons

So far, as of the 10th of December, this is what I’ve found so far! None of these seem to be specifically here for festive reasons, but I’d personally be happy with most of these for an easy festive dessert on Christmas day.

I didn’t find that much more than this last year, so I’m not especially holding my breath for anything more exciting to drop. However, there was a black forest free from brownie dessert from last year that I still haven’t found yet, so I’ll let you know if it makes a return this year…

Gluten-free supermarket Christmas desserts guide 2024: Waitrose

Here’s a selection of quite a few small individually portioned dessert options, all of which might be wise to keep in the fridge in case of a ‘dessert emergency’ over the festive period. All of these were found in the chilled desserts section, apart from the roulade which is frozen.

I didn’t find much more than this in Waitrose last year either, but one of these might tickle your fancy if you happen to be passing by; they have a great gluten-free party food selection (see my party food post as you likely won’t be able to easily spot them if you don’t know what you’re looking for) so bear these in mind if you find yourself in Waitrose while looking for those!

Again, a lot of roulade/meringue-based desserts that were safe in Waitrose in previous years mostly aren’t any longer.

Gluten-free supermarket Christmas desserts guide 2024: Iceland

It is a little disappointing to find that Iceland only have two safe gluten-free desserts in a veritable sea of frozen dessert products, but this isn’t too dissimilar to other supermarkets this year, to be honest.

Note the 4 mini toffee and pecan roulades because these used to be gluten-free and stocked in almost every other supermarket last year.

But this year, Iceland seems to be one of the remaining few that has this particular flavour variation which hasn’t magically developed a ‘may contain gluten’ warning since last year. So make the most of that!

Needless to say, Iceland has way more frozen gluten-free party food options than viable desserts!

Gluten-free supermarket Christmas desserts guide 2024: Ocado

And though it’s not a huge wealth of products, here’s some of the dedicated free from desserts I found on Ocado online. You’ll likely be familiar with a couple of these, but the first two were nice surprises to me!

Bear in mind that Ocado also stock M&S products for delivery, so lumping those in to their range really bolsters the options you have for gluten-free desserts. And they’ll also likely help you reach the 40 quid minimum delivery charge too!

Gluten-free supermarket Christmas desserts guide 2024: The Co-op

I absolutely had to include the Co-op in this guide, despite only being able to find one suitable gluten-free dessert product so far.

And despite this, I absolutely had to include the Co-op in this guide; mainly just to highlight how little there is for us here!

And that’s not to be mean to Co-op (where I worked for many years!), it’s because Co-op used to stock a bunch of actually amazing gluten-free Christmas desserts (and party food) products up until recent years. See this four year old post to remind you or if you have no idea what I mean!

This product is here all year round (which I’m grateful for) but there’s no denying that Co-op could do way better for us for the festive season. So please join me and make sure you let Co-op know we want more gluten-free dessert options at Christmas by contacting them and telling them so!

Last Year’s Products

And last but not least, here’s all of LAST YEAR’s gluten-free dessert products in supermarkets from 2023.

They may be back this year… they may not! So either way, I thought I’d leave the link to last year’s post above just in case they do make a return.

Gluten-free Christmas party food guide 2024 – it’s back for the festive season and new year! Here’s all the party food available down free from aisles and beyond this Christmas across all UK supermarkets. And they’re on shelves right now, Coeliac-friendly, wheat-free with dairy-free options too.

Gluten-free Christmas party food guide 2024 – strap yourselves in because I’ve thrown together all the party food from eleven different supermarkets in this one post!

Gluten-free Christmas party food guide 2024: Tesco

Though Tesco has a few awesome options (the bhajis, vegan no-prawn tempura, jalapeno cheese poppers and snowballs), as I said last year, it’s hard not to feel like we’ve had more gluten-free party food options here in previous years. Though in the most recent update to this post, the slow cooked ribs products and loaded potato skins have helped soften that opinion somewhat!

This may look like a lot of pigs in blankets (put them on cocktail sticks to make them ‘party food’ btw!) and crisps for one supermarket… because it is! But it was my choice to include all the different variations of pigs in blankets I could find here in Tesco and in other supermarkets too. Why?

So you know exactly which ones are safe! You obviously don’t have to buy all the different variations – if you need multiple packs, you can just grab a few of whatever suitable ones you find. I have no idea why supermarkets seem to have so many pigs in blankets products that just appear to be the same thing but in different quantities! For example, what’s the difference between 10 Tesco Finest pigs in blankets, 8 ‘signature’ pigs in blankets and 12 ‘cosy’ pigs in blankets? I have no idea!

With what I’ve found so far, Tesco is shaping up to be decent for gluten-free Christmas party food, but it’s not quite the best! So make sure you check the other supermarkets below for more varied options too.

Gluten-free Christmas party food guide 2024: Asda

There’s even less over at Asda (compared to Tesco) right now and just like last year, most of what’s actually here seems to be in the free from freezer section. The crisps are with the crisps, of course!

Last year, this left me speculating that the fresh party food was still to come (especially since they will have use-by dates well before Christmas) but that never happened!! If there’s no change again this year, this means that’ll it’ll likely be over to Waitrose and M&S yet again for viable gluten-free party food options.

That puts Asda even well behind Aldi this year, which just had an influx of party food products land instore. C’mon Asda, you can do better!!

Gluten-free Christmas party food guide 2024: Sainsbury’s

Currently, the situation at Sainsbury’s was much the same as over at Tesco, though Tesco’s recent update has definitely put them ahead now. Essentially, it’s quite a lot of crisps, pigs in blankets and a few items worth noting, but probably not quite enough to make an entire gluten-free party food spread!!

But note the white rabbit flatbread too which can easily be quickly sliced up and served to a crowd – the same goes for Sainsbury’s free from mini quiche too (albeit to a much smaller crowd!)

Oh and don’t forget the mozzarella sticks too – they used to be available everywhere, but that’s not been the case in recent years! The arancini is probably one of the most exciting finds so far here too!

Gluten-free Christmas party food guide 2024: Marks and Spencer

Phew! Though M&S doesn’t have tons of festive party food options like I remember posting across previous years, their free from products fill in a lot of gaps here. Best of all, so we don’t have to rely purely on faith that their gluten-free party food products will definitely return for 2024, there are already some gluten-free party food products available on shelves right now!

Make sure you take note of the gluten-free party food products (stocked in chillers with all the rest of the party food – not in any special free from section) because that’s where M&S really sets themselves apart from Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury’s.

So M&S is definitely a win unless other supermarkets come out with more suitable products closer to Christmas – which I’ll add here if I do ever find them! In the most recent update I just added a bunch more party food options including veggie spring rolls – they’re back!!

Gluten-free Christmas party food guide 2024: Aldi

I just recently added a HUGE Aldi update to its dedicated post, so I will reflect these new product finds here below!

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Aldi now has lots of festive trimmings for us like pigs in blankets, chipolatas and sausages, as well as stuffed turkey crowns and joints too (see the main post for all of those as they’re not all exclusively ‘party food’ products!)

But most importantly for this post, there’s more party food options like pork belly bites, ham croquettes and even some tempting veggie party food options now too. Not bad at all!

Gluten-free Christmas party food guide 2024: Lidl

Lidl was a tad better than Aldi when it comes to gluten-free party food before my recent update… but as of the 9th of December, Aldi is currently way better!!

I’m still keeping my fingers crossed that Lidl will come through with some more reliable options, so keep an eye out on my social media channels for any updates to this post.

Gluten-free Christmas party food guide 2024: Morrisons

Whilst Morrisons hasn’t got the biggest selection of gluten-free party food to say the least, just like last year, they do have pretty much everything you’d need to impress me!

The combination of all of these products alone would make an amazing gluten-free party food spread, with great variety and choice, but the Asian-style selection box has to be noted especially.

We used to have so many more products like this in previous years (from Co-Op especially) and Morrison’s is the only place that still stocks a product like this. So if you can get to Morrisons, make sure you hunt that one down. Since there’s actual variety in that box, I would happily have a few boxes of that and wouldn’t really ask for a lot else!

More products were added here on the 10th of December, so you’ve got even more choice at Morrisons now!

Gluten-free Christmas party food guide 2024: Waitrose

Waitrose usually has a brilliant selection of gluten-free party food and as of the 4th of December, I’ve now added five awesome party food options here!

This is amazing news when options can be quite limited in other supermarkets. These additions mean both Waitrose and M&S are ahead this year once again when it comes to gluten-free party food!

But is this everything Waitrose will put out this year? Who knows! Keep checking back on this post for more updates and additions.

Gluten-free Christmas party food guide 2024: Iceland

As I said last year about the party food I found in Iceland… I hope you like cheese!

This selection is actually great, but because almost every product revolves around cheese, you’ll most definitely have to shop around to ensure your gluten-free party food spread has better variety. The hash brown dogs will help with that though and the chip shop curry sauce pots would make a great dip!

But to have all of these suitable products in Iceland is something I would have never expected, so please make the most of it! Oh and don’t forget to check out their crisps too!

Gluten-free Christmas party food guide 2024: Ocado

Since I decided to create a dedicated post on Ocado’s gluten-free Christmas options for the first time ever this year, it made sense to include their party food offerings in this post too!

Bear in mind that they also stock M&S products too, so you certainly won’t be short of choices when placing an online order for gluten-free party food.

Of course, buying these products from Ocado means placing an online order – that involves booking a slot and meeting the £40 minimum delivery charge. So make sure you check out my Ocado post (just linked it above) for other gluten-free products that you might need to help get you to that £40 minimum!

Gluten-free Christmas party food guide 2024: The Co-op

I absolutely had to include the Co-op in this guide, despite only being able to find one suitable gluten-free party food product so far. And definitely don’t hold your breath that I’ll find much else!

But I absolutely had to include the Co-op in this guide; firstly because the one product I found was pretty awesome and I haven’t seen it anywhere else and secondly, just to highlight how little there is for us here!

And that’s not to be mean to Co-op (where I worked for many years!), it’s because Co-op used to stock a bunch of actually amazing gluten-free Christmas party food products up until recently. See this four year old post to remind you or if you have no idea what I mean!

So this is just a long way of explaining that and also saying: grab this product if you’re passing buy and it’s in stock, but don’t get your hopes up for anything else!

Last Year’s Products

And last but not least, here’s all of LAST YEAR’s gluten-free party food products in supermarkets from 2023.

They may be back this year… they may not! So either way, I thought I’d leave the link to last year’s post above just in case they do make a return.

Iceland’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024 – the final part of my supermarket guide series ends with Iceland, the budget UK supermarket – not the Nordic country! Everything in this post is all on shelves right now, Coeliac-friendly and wheat-free.

Iceland’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024 – this is the first festive round-up post I’ve ever done on Iceland and though you might not expect a lot, I wouldn’t post it without good reason! Though lacking a lot in the free from department, there’s some amazing party food products I absolutely had to highlight for your consideration. So let’s dive in!

Update log 🗓

Iceland’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024

Since this is a MEGA guide to Iceland’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024 I thought I’d split this post up into four sections – though please remember that this post is mainly about frozen party food!

Using the contents list below, you can jump to particular sections if you’re looking for something specific, or feel free to just scroll down to see everything:

Jump to…

Free from products (it’s empty!)

Seasonal chocolates and advent calendars

Snacks, party food + Christmas lunch

Desserts

Iceland’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Free From Products

Just like in Aldi or Lidl, if you go looking for dedicated gluten-free Christmas products or hunt for any kind of free from aisle in Iceland, you’ll be sure to find…

Don’t worry though, this post isn’t entirely empty! Keep scrolling down below this non-existent free from section for all the rest of the ‘accidentally’ gluten-free Christmas products I did manage to find in other sections of Iceland. But please make sure to read this next part before you do…

Just like highlighted in my Aldi and Lidl posts across the last two years, there’s absolutely zero festive dedicated free from products to speak of in Iceland. And that’s the case because these supermarkets don’t even have a dedicated free from aisle or free from range at any time of year, let alone at Christmas. Believe it or not, Iceland did used to stock a range of frozen free from products back in 2019… which were sadly discontinued not long after! In past years, they also used to stock gluten-free mince pies too and few other festive free from products, believe it or not.

But these days, Iceland’s highlighted gluten-free products on their website mainly comprise of a bunch of random products like condiments, yoghurt and potato-based products that we could likely buy in any other supermarket in the UK. We have no chance of completing a weekly shop here, to say the least!

Having been gluten-free for nearly 15 years, I can safely say that things won’t change for the better unless we constantly remind everyone that we exist and that we will happily give businesses our money if they provide for us at respectable prices. After all, without letting businesses (like supermarkets, fast food chains, cafes, restaurants or even TV shows) know that we exist, the status quo of having little to no gluten-free options/representation will just continue.

So this empty section of this post is a reminder to you, the reader, to message Iceland politely asking for a dedicated free from section with essential free from products (like bread, flour and cereal!) to be stocked there all year round at reasonable prices at the very least. And whilst you might feel like one message won’t make a difference, if we’re all persistently doing it, we’re much harder to ignore. I will of course be messaging them too!

Here’s how you can get in touch with them:

• Iceland’s Facebook
• Iceland’s Twitter
• Iceland’s Instagram
• Iceland’s Threads (seems to be a bit inactive)
• Iceland’s Website ([email protected])

Anyway, onwards with what I did find in Iceland that was gluten-free from other parts of the supermarket…

Iceland’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Snacks, Party Food + Christmas lunch

To be quite frank, this section is the entire reason I dedicated to create a gluten-free Christmas products post for Iceland for the very first time. Because unlike in previous years, the combination of their TGI Fridays and Cathedral City range actually present some exciting choices for any gluten-free party food spread this year.

Of course, like I often say in these posts, please don’t get excited and assume that all products that fall under these two brands are gluten-free! These are specific products that I’ve personally found and checked for you in store – if I didn’t include other products in these ranges here in this post, it’s probably because they weren’t safe to eat!

And though other supermarkets will likely have more party food products to come (as chilled party food products often don’t show up until closer to Christmas), with the range that Iceland has currently, they’re well ahead in terms of choice for gluten-free party food at the time of writing!

Please take note of the BBQ pork mini ribs, as they also have a non-mini version that isn’t safe to eat. This product along with the spicy chicken wings also aren’t frozen and instead found in chillers. Please always remember to ensure you have the correct product and check the ingredients/relevant ‘may contain’ warnings for yourself before buying!

Iceland’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Seasonal Confectionery Aisle

Whilst I was in Iceland, I thought I’d hunt for the usual ‘accidentally’ gluten-free seasonal chocolate and this is what I found!

Of course, with Iceland being mainly focussed on frozen food, I didn’t expect much – however, they do have a decent choice of options that are well worth considering if you happen to be passing by.

Needless to say, if you’re specifically looking for lots of stocking fillers or gifty-type confectionary products, other supermarkets might be a better choice.

Iceland’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Desserts

It is a little disappointing to find that Iceland only have two safe gluten-free desserts in a veritable sea of frozen dessert products, but this isn’t too dissimilar to other supermarkets this year, to be honest.

Note the 4 mini toffee and pecan roulades because these used to be gluten-free and stocked in almost every other supermarket last year. But this year, Iceland seems to be the only one that has this particular flavour variation which hasn’t magically developed a ‘may contain gluten’ warning since last year. So make the most of that!

In fact, if you’ve been keeping up with my other supermarket posts, you’ll have likely read how I’ve pointed out that many of last year’s roulade and meringue-based desserts now have ‘may contain’ warnings that make them unsafe for Coeliacs. So please double-check that you’ve got the correct product as shown here, check the ingredients/allergy info and don’t blindly assume that last year’s product is gluten-free this year too!

With that all out of the way, here’s the two meringue-based desserts I found in Iceland that were gluten-free:

Don’t forget to check out these Christmas supermarket posts too…

Ocado’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024 – the ultimate guide for the festive season from the online supermarket some might forget about! Everything in this post is available online right now, Coeliac-friendly and wheat-free.

Ocado’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024 – having made gluten-free festive product round-up posts like this for not that far off 10 years, you might be surprised to learn that this is the first Ocado post I’ve done, ever! And that’s because there’s more than enough that’s worth featuring, so I thought, why not? Ocado even stock M&S products for delivery too!

Ocado’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024

Since this is a MEGA guide to Ocado’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024 I thought I’d split this post up into five sections. This will be split up slightly different to my other festive supermarket posts as Ocado isn’t a physical shop with aisles! So I split it up in a similar way that made sense.

Though I’ve tried to arrange these products in a more browse-able order, you’ll find them all bunched together (and more products too) by filtering Ocado’s Christmas section using the gluten-free filter on their website.

Using the contents list below, you can jump to particular sections if you’re looking for something specific, or feel free to just scroll down to see everything:

Dedicated free from products

Seasonal chocolates and advent calendars

Chilled/frozen party food + Christmas lunch

Desserts

M&S products on Ocado

Ocado’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Dedicated Free From Products

If Ocado had a physical free from aisle, these are the festive products that you’d find there! These are all products from familiar free from brands, as well as those not commonly stocked in major supermarkets (though you might also be familiar with them from health food shops etc).

This ranges from dairy-free chocolate and advent calendars, to seasonal classics like gluten-free mince pies, Christmas pudding and panettone. Myself and Mark can highly recommend all the Booja products!!

In case you didn’t know, Ocado’s minimum order total is £40 for delivery, which is likely to be realistic if you’re planning a big festive order nearer to Christmas – especially one that includes all your other festive purchases, like veg, meat, drinks etc. And if you’re putting in that big order, don’t forget to check back on this post to make sure you haven’t missed anything!

As you’ll see at the end of this post, Ocado stock A LOT of M&S products, but I’ve chosen to not incorporate them into all the earlier sections of this post so the non-M&S products don’t get lost in the mix (which is what I feel happens to them on the Ocado website!).

Ocado’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Chilled/frozen Party Food + Christmas lunch

Though there isn’t anything as mind blowing as you might find in other supermarkets here, there’s certainly some seriously awesome party food scran for those who are both veggie and gluten-free. And that’s not something I can say very often!

Also, note the White Rabbit products, fresh + large gluten-free Yorkshire puddings and pigs in blankets too – I’m sure everyone can put all of those to good use!

Be sure to check the M&S section at the end of this post for lots more party food options and festive trimmings 👇🏻

Ocado’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Seasonal Chocolates and Advent Calendars

Here you’ll find lots of classic ‘accidentally’ gluten-free chocolate and confectionary products, most of which you might have spotted in my other supermarket posts already.

However, there are a few hidden gems here – many of which would make great gifts or stocking fillers. The Amaretti biscuits for example, or even the assortment of Baci products, both of which I’ve heard great things about!

And though it’s not a huge wealth of products, here’s some of the dedicated free from desserts I found on Ocado online. You’ll likely be familiar with a couple of these, but the first two were nice surprises to me!

But if you were expecting more dessert choices in my round-up of Ocado’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024, then stay tuned, because it isn’t over yet! In the M&S section of this post coming up next (which showcases all of the M&S products stocked on Ocado for delivery) there’s actually even more exciting desserts to choose from.

Ocado’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: M&S Products

If you thought this post was over, then think again. Or, if you thought I’d accidentally copied and pasted my entire M&S gluten-free Christmas products 2024 here at the end for no reason… then think again also! There’s actually 100+ more products below, some of which I haven’t yet seen in M&S stores yet and therefore aren’t in my M&S post. When I find them in store, I will update that post accordingly!

That’s right, in case you haven’t read a single word in this post so far and didn’t know already, Ocado stock tons of M&S products for delivery. That’s especially great as M&S themselves don’t provide a grocery delivery service; so if you don’t have an M&S near you, there’s no easy way to get your hands on these products. That is, unless you can get an Ocado slot, of course!

So I’ve decided to showcase all of the relevant gluten-free M&S products on Ocado below, split up into free from (made without) products, seasonal chocolate, party food/festive trimmings and desserts. So essentially, the range on Ocado is like two supermarkets in one website.

So now you know why I decided to do an Ocado gluten-free Christmas products 2024 post for the very first time – there’s just so much on offer! Now I just need to book a delivery slot for myself and reach the £40 minimum delivery cost 😂

M&S Made Without Products

M&S Seasonal Chocolate + Advent Calendars

M&S Party Food + Festive Trimmings

M&S Desserts

Lidl’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024 – the ultimate guide for the festive season from yet another budget supermarket that we wish stocked more gluten-free products! Everything in this post is all on shelves right now, Coeliac-friendly and wheat-free.

Lidl’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024 – if you’ve read my recent Christmas post covering Aldi (or even just last year’s Lidl post) then you’ll likely already have low expectations, but here we are anyway! I’ve now done posts like this for almost all the supermarkets this Christmas, but stay tuned for both Ocado and Iceland too.

Update log 🗓

• Any new products I find will be added to the post and if/when that happens, I’ll highlight what’s been added in this bit here here:
  • 30TH NOV – 2 NEW PRODUCTS ADDED: An extra roulade and one more selection box – that’s all for now!
  • 24TH NOV – 11 NEW PRODUCTS ADDED: Mostly party food options (hooray!), but also a Cadbury selection box and one extra dessert. Not sure we’ll be expecting much more from Lidl now!
• FIRST POSTED 19TH NOVEMBER 2024

Lidl’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024

Since this is a MEGA guide to Lidl’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024 I thought I’d split this post up into four sections as you’ll see below as well as a link to where you can view previous year’s products.

Using the contents list below, you can jump to particular sections if you’re looking for something specific, or feel free to just scroll down to see everything:

Lidl’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Free From Aisle

Just like in Aldi, if you go looking for dedicated gluten-free Christmas products in Lidl or hunt for Lidl’s free from aisle, you’ll be sure to find…

Don’t worry though, this post isn’t entirely empty! Keep scrolling down below this non-existent free from section for all the rest of the ‘accidentally’ gluten-free Christmas products I did manage to find in other sections of Lidl this year. But please make sure to read this next part before you do…

If you read my Aldi Christmas post for 2024 (or last year’s Aldi/Lidl post) you might find it uncannily strange how similar the situation is here in Lidl once again. Whether you’ve read that post or not, here’s a quick run down of what both supermarkets have in common surrounding gluten-free Christmas products:

• Both used to stock their own brand gluten-free mince pies during the festive season in previous years and now they don’t.
• Both don’t stock own-brand free from products during the festive period or the rest of the year meaning there’s zero dedicated gluten-free products available. Lidl actually used to have a small free from range, but that hasn’t been seen in many years now (it was discontinued). We instead just have to rely on what’s ‘accidentally’ gluten-free entirely here.
• Like Aldi over in Ireland, Lidl Ireland do stock a core range of free from products like bread, flour, pasta, biscuits etc. Here’s a link to a PDF of all the gluten-free products Lidl stock over in Ireland currently in 2024 – if you search that PDF for all the products that are branded as ‘Just Free’ (which are all Lidl’s own-brand free from products) you’ll find 18 products. Compare that to here in the UK where I can’t even find one ‘Just Free’ product listed on the Lidl website whatsoever.

Having been gluten-free for nearly 15 years, I can safely say that things won’t change for the better unless we constantly remind everyone that we exist and that we will happily give businesses our money if they provide for us at respectable prices. After all, without letting businesses (like supermarkets, fast food chains, cafes, restaurants or even TV shows) know that we exist, the status quo of having little to no gluten-free options/representation will just continue.

So this empty section of this post is a reminder to you, the reader, to message Lidl politely asking for a dedicated free from section with essential free from products (like bread, flour and cereal!) to be stocked there all year round at reasonable prices at the very least. And whilst you might feel like one message won’t make a difference, if we’re all persistently doing it, we’re much harder to ignore. I will of course be messaging them too as I did last year!

Here’s how you can get in touch with them:

• Lidl GB Facebook
• Lidl GB Twitter
• Lidl GB Instagram
• Lidl GB Threads
• Lidl GB Website

Anyway, onwards with what I did find in Lidl that was gluten-free in other parts of the supermarket that actually exist….

Lidl’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Snacks, Party Food + Christmas lunch

Though when I first posted this round-up I only found crisps that were safe, in my recent update I’ve now found quite a few extra party food options and savoury sides too!

This now brings Lidl almost exactly on par with the gluten-free options available to us last year, which is both good and sad. Good that it didn’t get worse, but sad that it didn’t improve whatsoever! I won’t be holding my breath for any new options that are suitable for us now we’ve reached this point, but rest assured I will keep checking to see if any new products pop up regardless.

It’s especially sad when you remember that back in 2020, Lidl used to stock lots of pigs in blankets, stuffing balls and even more party food options that were gluten-free. It was actually great for affordable Christmas lunch trimmings back then! However, I haven’t seen any of them now for many years and it’s not looking like that’ll change anytime soon.

Lidl’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Seasonal Confectionery Aisle

There’s some variety and choice when it comes to general seasonal chocolates and treats, though certainly not as much as you’ll find in other supermarkets.

The fig and almond and date and walnut cakes definitely deserve an honourable mention as I couldn’t believe they were gluten-free – I haven’t seen them in any other supermarkets either!

Lidl’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Desserts

Phew, we actually have at least three viable dessert options in Lidl (though two are the exact same flavour!!) Any of these look great to me and especially when almost all supermarkets are stocking less meringue-based desserts that are safe for us to eat, I was grateful to find these few roulades. So many of last year’s roulades etc. now have ‘may contain’ warnings this year!

Again, with just three safe options, Lidl isn’t definitely somewhere you should rush to for gluten-free desserts, but as I said, if you’re passing, please bear these in mind. Hopefully I’ll be able to update this post with more as Christmas nears!

Though I also found three festive dessert products at Aldi, considering that two of those were ice lollies and not a proper ‘dessert dessert’, this is one of the only sections where Lidl just about beats Aldi!

Last Year’s Products

And last but not least, here’s all the products that were in Lidl LAST YEAR in 2023.

They may be back this year… they may not! So either way, I thought I’d leave the link to last year’s post above just in case they do make a return.

Don’t forget to check out these Christmas supermarket posts too…

Aldi’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024 – the ultimate guide for the festive season from the budget supermarket that we wish stocked more gluten-free products all year round! Everything in this post is all on shelves right now, Coeliac-friendly and wheat-free.

Aldi’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024 – in 2023 I started this post by saying ‘don’t get your hopes up’, but this year is a vast improvement if you compare the options available! I’ll be doing posts like this for all the supermarkets this Christmas as I do every year, so look out for those too.

Update log 🗓

• Any new products I find will be added to the post and if/when that happens, I’ll highlight what’s been added in this bit here here:
  • 9TH DEC – 44 NEW PRODUCTS ADDED: Maybe the biggest update we’ll see from Aldi before Christmas all at once! Check below for lots more party food options, festive Christmas roast trimmings and even a few new desserts and confectionary products too. Huge!

Last year’s products

Aldi’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Snacks, Party Food + Christmas lunch

Wow – there’s been a big update for this section of the post over at Aldi!

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Aldi now has lots of festive trimmings for us like pigs in blankets, chipolatas and sausages, as well as stuffed turkey crowns and joints too. There’s even snacky bits too!

But fortunately, there’s even more party food options than I found last year too: like pork belly bites, ham croquettes and even some tempting veggie party food options. Not bad at all!

It might be time to raid Aldi’s selection of festive crisps too because there’s a lot of choice of ‘accidentally’ gluten-free bags of crisps on offer. Just ensure you check the ingredients list for any gluten-containing ingredients or ‘may contain’ warnings as, in the past, Aldi has had a habit of varying ingredients on their crisps depending on where you live in the UK.

Aldi’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Seasonal Confectionery Aisle

Like most supermarkets, you’ll find some decent options in Aldi when it comes to small festive sweet treats or boxes of chocolates for sharing or gifting. The story this year compared to last year is this: way more advent calendars and way less truffles!

And great news – the truffles are back! Along with some snacky nuts that also featured above too. The meringue kisses are a nice addition too!

Aldi’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Desserts

Aldi’s saving grace here has usually been that they usually stock a few suitable gluten-free desserts in their freezer section that are ‘accidentally’ gluten-free. And the good news is that as of the 9th of December, I’ve found even more options!

The ice cream cups, macaron and possets are all awesome dessert additions that I didn’t find last year too. Oh and I found another roulade as well – the passion fruit, raspberry and white chocolate one!

Remember though sadly, three of the roulades that were safe last year now have ‘may contain’ warnings for gluten, apart from the ones shown below.

I haven’t seen last year’s double chocolate igloo return yet either, but keep checking back on this post for future updates. If I find it, I’ll include it here!

Aldi’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Free From Aisle

You might remember in the past that Aldi UK used to stock their own brand gluten-free mince pies and a gluten-free Christmas pudding during the festive season and whilst that was usually about it, at least it was something – see the photo below:

But in 2023 and now in 2024, if you went looking for these or any of other Aldi UK’s dedicated gluten-free Christmas products (or a free from aisle), you’ll be sure to find…

That’s right, there’s not even gluten-free mince pies or Christmas pudding this year and they don’t even have any all-year-round free from products to fall back on.

Don’t worry though, this post isn’t entirely empty! Keep scrolling down below this non-existent free from section for all the rest of the ‘accidentally’ gluten-free Christmas products I did manage to find in Aldi this year. But first, here’s an important annual reminder…

Having been gluten-free for 15 years, I can safely say that things won’t change for the better unless we constantly remind everyone that we exist and that we will happily give businesses our money if they provide for us at respectable prices. After all, without letting businesses (like supermarkets, fast food chains, cafes, restaurants or even TV shows) know that we exist, the status quo of having little to no gluten-free options/representation will just continue.

So this rant is my little dedication to politely reminding Aldi that we exist because, if you’re reading this Aldi, every supermarket I’ve covered so far across these posts has a dedicated free from section with gluten-free products apart from you! And guess what? If you reliably stocked more gluten-free essentials all year round, all of us would then be able to shop there more often! Aldi’s gluten-free landing page even mentions/depicts several products they no longer stock – such as gluten-free plain flour, cereal bars and all butter cookies. I pointed this out in 2023 and it still hasn’t changed!!

And guess what will probably just annoy you even more if you live in the UK? Aldi Ireland stock tons of gluten-free products, including mince pies and even gluten-free bread, cake, biscuits pasta and oats – you can see for yourself by tapping here. It’s the same in the US, where Aldi stock all the essentials we need all-year-round too.

So this empty section of this post is a reminder to you, the reader, to message Aldi politely asking for a dedicated free from section with essential free from products (like bread and cereal!) to be stocked there all year round at reasonable prices at the very least. And whilst you might feel like one message won’t make a difference, if we’re all persistently doing it, we’re much harder to ignore.

Here’s how you can get in touch with them:

• Aldi UK Facebook (probably best to just comment on recent posts as I can’t see how to private message them on there)
• Aldi UK Twitter
• Aldi UK Instagram
• Aldi UK Threads
• Aldi UK Website

Anyway, onwards with what I did find in Aldi that was gluten-free….

Last Year’s Products

And last but not least, here’s all the products that were in Aldi LAST YEAR in 2023.

They may be back this year… they may not! So either way, I thought I’d leave the link to last year’s post above just in case they do make a return.

The ultimate gluten-free advent calendar guide 2024! Here’s all the advent calendars down free from aisles and beyond this Christmas. And they’re on shelves right now, Coeliac-friendly, wheat-free with lots of dairy-free options too

The ultimate gluten-free advent calendar guide 2024 – because not even gluten or a ‘may contain’ gluten warning should get between anyone’s love of an advent calendar! Here’s everything I’ve found across Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s, Marks and Spencer, Aldi, Lidl and more…

The ultimate gluten-free advent calendar guide 2024

Since this is a guide that shows specific advent calendars across a range of different supermarkets, that’s exactly how I’ve decided to divide them up.

Using the contents list below, you can jump to particular supermarkets if you’re looking for somewhere specific, or feel free to just scroll down to see everything:

Our personal picks!

Gluten-free Advent Calendars 2024: Tesco

Our hunt for gluten-free advent calendars 2024 starts off in Tesco! Now what I will say first of all is that you should expect to see many of the same advent calendars stocked across multiple supermarkets – brands like Cadbury, Kinder, Galaxy and Reese’s always tend to be easily available everywhere.

However, though you’ll see a lot of similarities across all the different supermarkets in this post, be sure to note where differences lie! Some specific advent calendars are only stocked in certain supermarkets (for example, the KitKat advent calendars being absent from Tesco and Asda, but popping up in Sainsbury’s) so make sure you pay attention to that.

The point of this post is not only to let you know which advent calendars are safe and gluten-free, but also as a reference guide for when you’re in a particular supermarket; so you know exactly what you’re looking for and don’t spend hours hunting for something that isn’t there!

In my local Tesco, they only seem to stock the most common advent calendars that you can basically find anywhere – so use this first section as an indicator of which advent calendars you’ll see repeated a lot throughout this guide.

Gluten-free Advent Calendars 2024: Asda

Asda has a little bit more selection in terms of gluten-free advent calendars than Tesco, but even still, you will find many of these options in Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Aldi and Lidl too.

But compared to Tesco, you’ll also find the Nestle Milkybar, Cadbury White, and Haribo calendars too.

Asda also stock two nut-free advent calendars too (which we always used to buy for Mark’s nephew!) so take note of the Kinnerton advent calendars if you need to.

When it comes to gluten-free and dairy-free, you’ve still got the exact same NOMO and MooFree advent calendars as in Tesco. But there’s something exciting for dairy-free folks in the next section: Sainsbury’s!

Gluten-free Advent Calendars 2024: Sainsbury’s

Expect to see the usual suspects over in Sainsbury’s, with the main difference being the first appearance of the elusive KitKat advent calendar. Of course, with KitKat being off-limits to us the rest of the year, I will happily welcome any opportunity where that isn’t that case!

If you’re dairy-free pay close attention to the NOMO ultimate choc advent calendar – unlike most dairy-free advent calendars which are just a square of plain chocolate each day, this one is a mini flavoured NOMO bar per day!

Needless to say, I bought the NOMO ultimate advent calendar a month ago for Mark and it’s been patiently waiting at home for December!! So make sure you note that this is not the same as the NOMO advent calendar stocked here and elsewhere. I haven’t seen it stocked anywhere else apart from Sainsbury’s.

Gluten-free Advent Calendars 2024: Marks and Spencer

And as always, you can always rely on M&S to shake things up a bit my gluten-free advent calendars 2024 guide. Why? Because they’ll always have unique M&S brand products that you won’t find anywhere else… and they also don’t stock the usual suspects!

Apart from online on Ocado of course, because they sell M&S products on there for delivery! So if you’re a regular Ocado shopper, keep scrolling to see which of these products are also available on Ocado (and a few extras) too…

Gluten-free Advent Calendars 2024: Aldi

Though my hopes aren’t ever super high when it comes to finding seasonal gluten-free products at Aldi UK, I was pleased to see waaaay more gluten-free advent calendars in there than last year. In 2023 they only stocked two that were safe!

So if you’re popping in and just want to conveniently pick something up, you’ve got far better choice than last year and they even do the KitKat advent calendar too!

Gluten-free Advent Calendars 2024: Lidl

Lidl’s selection isn’t actually as good as Aldi this year, but they have made sure that they still stock a gluten-free and dairy-free advent calendar (The MooFree choccy advent calendar) as they did in 2023.

But believe it or not, with just four safe gluten-free advent calendars, Lidl still isn’t the place that stocks the least for us! Keep scrolling to find out which supermarket left is…

Gluten-free Advent Calendars 2024: Morrisons

Good news: this year, I was able to get to Morrisons and see all of their gluten-free advent calendars 2024 for myself!

Though there wasn’t anything especially crazy or unique compared to what we’ve seen already, there’s still a great choice available for us overall.

Gluten-free Advent Calendars 2024: Waitrose

There’s never been a vast selection of gluten-free advent calendars in my local Waitrose and this year is no different! However, there’s still three solid options to cover a few bases if you’re stopping by.

Gluten-free Advent Calendars 2024: Ocado

Of course, with Ocado being an online supermarket that also can deliver M&S products, their selection is pretty good – even including a couple of products that weren’t in my local M&S yet.

The selection is essentially a combination of the Sainsbury’s selection combined with M&S!

Last year’s gluten-free advent calendars…

And if you feel like it, you can always check out last year’s post on gluten-free advent calendars for 2023! Why? Well, to see if the selection is better or worse – or to see if any are missing!

For example, the Toblerone advent calendar from last year has been changed and the new one isn’t gluten-free 😳 So please remember that the products in that post may have changed ingredients and if you don’t see them in this post anymore… that might be why!!

Our personal picks!

So out of all of the advent calendars I found this year… which did we pick as our actual advent calendars this year? Drumroll please…

I chose the Reese’s peanut butter cups advent calendar (basically found everywhere!) and as I mentioned, Mark chose the NOMO ultimate choc dairy-free advent calendar (found only in Sainsbury’s and Ocado online). I am confident that, come December, we have most definitely made the right choices! 😆

Don’t forget to check out these Christmas supermarket posts too…

Morrisons gluten-free Christmas products 2024 are here! Say hello to part 6 of the ultimate guide for the festive season, featuring Morrisons’ free from aisle and beyond. And yes, these products are on shelves right now, Coeliac-friendly, wheat-free with lots of dairy-free options too.

Morrisons gluten-free Christmas products 2024 – they’re here and I’ve found ALL of them (so far) for you! There’s no doubt that there will be more to come, so keep checking back for more updates. I’ll be doing posts like this for all the supermarkets this Christmas as I do every year, so look out for those too.

Update log 🗓

• Any new products I find will be added to the post and if/when that happens, I’ll highlight what’s been added in this bit here here:
  • DEC 10TH – 47 NEW PRODUCTS ADDED: The party food/snacks/xmas lunch section basically went from not much, to everything! Also added a handful of dessert options too.

Morrisons gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Free From Aisle

Once again, our Morrisons gluten-free Christmas products 2024 round-up starts within their very own free from aisle. Supermarkets always release brand new festive free from products around this time of year that won’t be around forever!

Though there’s lot of dairy-free options below (including chocolate), please remember that not everything down free from aisles is dairy-free – the free from 8x Viennese fingers for example! Just like in other supermarkets, look for the highlighted blue ‘milk’ word on Morrisons own-brand free from products, which indicates that the product is free from milk too.

Of course, there’s a few returning favourites in the Morrisons range like the Schar products, but keep an eye out for new products like the Viennese fingers, sticky toffee pudding cookies, chocolate and blood orange cookies and more!

Look back at last year’s Morrisons post (linked at the bottom of this post), there’s likely still more festive products to come to Morrisons free from aisle so make sure you favourite this page and keep checking back for new additions periodically – the same applies to my other supermarket posts too!

Morrisons gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Seasonal Confectionery Aisle + Advent Calendars

If you venture outside of the free from aisle (namely to the seasonal aisle) you’ll find tons more products that are ‘accidentally’ gluten-free, including things like advent calendars, gifts and small sweet treats.

Of course, if these ingredients have no ‘may contain’ warning and no gluten containing ingredients, they’re considered to be gluten-free and safe to eat. And yes, I’ve personally checked the ingredients lists of all these products myself, in person, on the packaging! So here’s everything I found…

Please bear in mind that I’m highlighting these products below specifically. Absolutely do not assume that just because one product is gluten-free and featured here in this post, that all products by the same brand also be gluten-free too. Quite often, that isn’t the case!

Though you’ll notice there were advent calendars in the previous section (down the free from aisle), those were all gluten-free AND dairy-free advent calendars. If you’re not dairy-free, you’ll find even more choice down seasonal aisles, as shown below…

Morrisons gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Snacks, Party Food & Christmas Lunch

As of December 10th, the Christmas lunch trimmings have finally landed in a big way! I also added a few more party food options too – I feel like I say this with almost every supermarket – such as pork belly bites!

However, products like the Asian-style party selection and 12 onion bhajis are well worth heading to Morrisons for and stocking up! We used to have so many more options like these in the past (namely from the Co-Op which barely stocks any special festive gluten-free party food options anymore) so I’m very happy these products are still around this year.

But even with the few products that we’ve seen so far, things are shaping up to make Morrisons a one-stop-shop where you could easily get everything you need for the festive season. If only we could still say the same about the Co-op too!

Morrisons gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Desserts

Like party food, festive desserts don’t often show up too early. But of course, as soon as they do begin to pop up in my Morrisons, I will be sure to find them and post them here!

So far, as of the 10th of December, this is what I’ve found so far! None of these seem to be specifically here for festive reasons, but I’d personally be happy with most of these for an easy festive dessert on Christmas day.

I’ll keep checking back to see if I can find any desserts made specifically for Christmas a little closer to the big day!

Last Year’s Products

And last but not least, here’s all the products that were in Morrisons LAST YEAR in 2023.

They may be back this year… they may not! So either way, I thought I’d leave the link to last year’s post above just in case they do make a return.

Don’t forget to check out these Christmas supermarket posts too…

Waitrose’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Free From Aisle

My round-up of Waitrose’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024 starts down their trusty free from aisle. While you won’t find an enormous selection compared to other supermarkets, you will find a few products that you can’t find anywhere else!

Keep an eye out for the 4x millionaire’s brownie tarts, chocolate, sour cherry and ginger tiffin slices, trifle tarts and even their own small gluten-free panettone too.

In terms of dairy-free chocolate, the Booja-Booja products are definitely something to consider heading over to Waitrose for as I haven’t seen them so well stocked anywhere else in supermarkets so far. Otherwise, lots of Waitrose’s own-brand free from products are milk-free so make sure you take a closer look at all of them!

Of course, the free from Christmas sandwich is with all the ‘to-go’ sandwiches, not the free from aisle!

Waitrose’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Snacks, Party Food & Christmas Lunch

If you venture outside of the free from aisle, there’s even more festive goodies to be found though you might not notice them at first glance. And that’s what this post is for!

This section will be a real mix of everything from Christmas lunch trimmings (remember to freeze them if you intend to keep them ready for December!), festive crisps/snacks and party food options. And though in last year’s post I hailed Waitrose as ‘the best supermarket this year for gluten-free party food’… I can’t say that again just yet as there isn’t even any party food products in stock yet.

So please remember keep checking back on this post for more product updates to see if Waitrose can retain their crown! Supermarkets will usually only stock party food products closer to Christmas, so expect an update whenever they appear.

Important reminder when shopping outside of the free from aisle: if a product has no ‘may contain’ for sources of gluten and no gluten-containing ingredients, then it’s considered gluten-free here in the UK! Though fortunately for us, lots of these products do have gluten-free labelling.

Waitrose’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Seasonal Confectionery Aisle

At the mo, it’s all about the seasonal aisle in Waitrose where you’ll find a ton of products that’re ‘accidentally’ gluten-free, including things like advent calendars, gifts and small sweet treats.

Of course, you’re unlikely to find many dairy-free products down seasonal aisles (though do note the NOMO advent calendar here) – so the free from aisle is your best best for gluten-free and dairy-free chocolate if you need it!

Please bear in mind that I’m highlighting these products below specifically. Absolutely do not assume that just because one product is gluten-free and featured here in this post, that all products by the same brand also be gluten-free too. Quite often, that isn’t the case!

Waitrose’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Desserts

Like party food, festive desserts don’t often show up too early. But as we near closer to Christmas, you’ll most definitely see more pop up so keep checking back on this post as it will be continually updated right up until December 25th.

Here’s a selection of quite a few small individually portioned dessert options, all of which might be wise to keep in the fridge in case of a ‘dessert emergency’ over the festive period. All of these were found in the chilled desserts section, apart from the roulade which is frozen.

Just like with other supermarkets, please note the specific meringue-based dessert (roulade) I’ve shown below and remember: don’t assume that all meringue-based desserts are automatically gluten-free – I’ve highlighted the one below specifically! It really does vary from supermarket to supermarket and product to product.

Waitrose’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Gluten-free Beer

This section of this post is a new thing as I don’t usually feature beer in these posts especially. But considering that Waitrose’s free from aisle wasn’t particularly huge in my local store, with this many choices of gluten-free beer, I felt like it just needed to be mentioned!

So please enjoy (responsibly) the great range of gluten-free beer on offer and feel free to let me know which is your favourite!

Note that the last product (Freedamm non-alcholic gluten-free beer) was found with all the regular alcohol-free products (by the alcohol), not the free from aisle.

Last Year’s Products

And last but not least, here’s all the products that were in Waitrose LAST YEAR in 2023.

They may be back this year… they may not! So either way, I thought I’d leave the link to last year’s post above just in case they do make a return.

Don’t forget to check out these Christmas supermarket posts too…

Marks and Spencer’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Cafe

Yes, that’s right, this post has a special section that no other supermarkets have in their respective posts… a cafe section! And I’ve put this into my Marks and Spencer’s gluten-free products 2024 post purely to showcase this one item: a gluten-free turkey and ham hock toastie! 🤯

This is a brand new product for M&S cafes during the festive season so keep an eye out for it in cafes near you!

Oh and don’t forget the gluten-free Christmas sandwich along with all the regular sandwiches down the chilled ‘food-to-go’ aisle. This photo is mine from last year, but I’ve already seen lots of photos in my Facebook group from you guys that have found it already!

Marks and Spencer’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Free From Aisle

Ok, back to our usual scheduled programming: Marks and Spencer’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024! So let’s start with the M&S free from aisle and their ‘Made Without’ range. Bear in mind that this post will focus mainly on Christmas free from products – there are of course many, many other products in the free from section in M&S too!

While you won’t find an enormous range of different brands in the M&S free from aisle like you will in other supermarkets, since it’s all dedicated M&S brand products, that means you’ll find stuff here that you won’t be able to get anywhere else.

Make sure you scour the seasonal aisle of M&S too where you might some of these products if they aren’t in the free from aisle. You’ll easily be able to spot the recognisable ‘Made Without’ branding!

Marks and Spencer’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Seasonal Confectionery Aisle + Advent Calendars

If you venture outside of the free from aisle (namely to the seasonal aisle) you’ll find tons more products that are ‘accidentally’ gluten-free, including things like advent calendars, gifts and small sweet treats.

Of course, if these ingredients have no ‘may contain’ warning and no gluten containing ingredients, they’re considered to be gluten-free and safe to eat. And yes, I’ve personally checked the ingredients lists of all these products myself, in person, on the packaging! So here’s everything I found…

Unlike chocolate you’ll find in free from aisles, the chocolate down these aisles tend not to be dairy-free: which is great if you’re not dairy-free, obviously! If you are dairy-free however, I implore you to check Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury’s which has a a lot of different choices of gluten-free and dairy-free festive chocolate, thanks to their own brand products and brands like MooFree and NOMO. But do look out for the M&S Plant Kitchen products below first too…

Marks and Spencer’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Snacks, Party Food & Christmas Lunch

Unlike other supermarkets, M&S has a few solid gluten-free party options out on shelves already! Of course, beware of use by dates as these are fresh products (not frozen) or if you’re super organised, you can always buy them and freeze them for Christmas in case they sell out.

However, as is usually the case with party food, you’ll have to check back on this post later as I’m sure this won’t be everything – the closer to Christmas to get, the more I’ll likely find! I just added quite a few ‘Made Without’ products to this section at the top – they’re not necessarily specifically festive, but they’d all make sense in any gluten-free party food spread!

You’ll have to head over to the crisps section for all the crisps (shock!) and the chillers for the party food and festive trimmings. The ‘Made Without’ products were in a dedicated free from chiller in my local M&S. Without a doubt, M&S looks to be winning on the party food front so far!

Marks and Spencer’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Desserts

Like party food, festive desserts don’t often show up too early. But of course, as soon as they do begin to pop up in my M&S, I will be sure to find them and post them here! When I first posted this, there was only the panna cottas and ganache desserts, but I’ve since found a bunch of meringue-based desserts now too. As of the 9th of December, I found two new and exciting chocolate and lemon/raspberry puddings too!

As I often say in these posts, please don’t automatically assume that any meringue-based dessert is gluten-free! I’ve highlighted these ones specifically below as M&S seems to be really good in the sense that lots of them didn’t have ‘may contain’ warnings for gluten. However, in other supermarkets this year, some of their meringue-based desserts now feature ‘may contain’ warnings on products that didn’t last year. So please always check and never assume when looking at these kinds of desserts in supermarkets!

Though what I’ve found below so far isn’t a great wealth of dessert options (and M&S used to be much better for dedicated gluten-free and ‘accidentally’ gluten-free desserts) it’s nice to know that there’s a supermarket that has a decent choice in all the sections of this post so far.

Last Year’s Products

And last but not least, here’s all the products that were in M&S LAST YEAR in 2023.

They may be back this year… they may not! So either way, I thought I’d leave the link to last year’s post above just in case they do make a return.

Don’t forget to check out these Christmas supermarket posts too…

Sainsbury’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Free From Aisle

Once again, our Sainsbury’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024 round-up starts within their very own free from aisle. Supermarkets always release brand new festive free from products around this time of year that won’t be around forever!

Though there’s lot of dairy-free options below (including chocolate), please remember that not everything down free from aisles is dairy-free! Just like in other supermarkets, look for the highlighted blue ‘milk’ word on Sainsbury’s own-brand free from products, which indicates that the product is free from milk too. On their ‘Taste The Difference’ range it won’t be highlighted in blue, but it will be mentioned somewhere on the front of the packaging.

Of course, there’s a few returning favourites in the Sainsbury’s range, but keep an eye out for new products like the 4x Hazelnut and Florentine tarts as well as 2x Sticky Toffee Pudding Muffins and more!

It always likely that there’s still more products to come, so make sure you favourite this page and keep checking back for new additions periodically – the same applies to my other supermarket posts too!

Sainsbury’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Seasonal Confectionery Aisle + Advent Calendars

If you venture outside of the free from aisle (namely to the seasonal aisle) you’ll find tons more products that are ‘accidentally’ gluten-free, including things like advent calendars, gifts and small sweet treats.

Of course, if these ingredients have no ‘may contain’ warning and no gluten containing ingredients, they’re considered to be gluten-free and safe to eat. And yes, I’ve personally checked the ingredients lists of all these products myself, in person, on the packaging! So here’s everything I found…

Please bear in mind that I’m highlighting these products below specifically. Absolutely do not assume that just because one product is gluten-free and featured here in this post, that all products by the same brand also be gluten-free too. Quite often, that isn’t the case!

Though you’ll notice there were advent calendars in the previous section (down the free from aisle), those were all gluten-free AND dairy-free advent calendars. If you’re not dairy-free, you’ll find even more choice down seasonal aisles, as shown below…

Sainsbury’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Snacks, Party Food & Christmas Lunch

Unlike in my Asda post where it was a bit too early to showcase much in this section, that isn’t the case in Sainsbury’s! They actually have a lot of festive crisps/snacks and Christmas lunch trimmings out already right now.

However, as is usually the case with party food, you’ll have to check back on this post to know when it finally lands – which it usually won’t until closer to Christmas (usually because of expiry dates).

Don’t forget to check the seasonal aisle for the ambient products, the free from chillers for the chilled stuff and the freezers too for all of these products. The gravy granules near the end are with all the ‘normal people’ gravy and a surprisingly great find as it’s the only gluten-free one hidden there! (please note the equivalent turkey gravy in Asda is NOT gluten-free, making this an even better find!)

Sainsbury’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Desserts

Like party food, festive desserts don’t often show up too early. But of course, as soon as they do begin to pop up in my Sainsbury’s, I will be sure to find them and post them here!

Since finding the White Rabbit gluten-free classic Tiramisu (and nothing else!) I’ve since added a few new finds here…

Please let Sainsbury’s be an example of how, though the two roulades I’ve posted below are gluten-free, they also had similar variations in similar branded packaging that aren’t safe for Coeliacs; the roulades not featured here all had ‘may contain’ warning for gluten, making them not gluten-free. So please don’t assume that all meringue-based desserts you come across are safe!

Other than that, you’ll find the dessert pots down the free from chiller aisle along with the tiramisu.

Last Year’s Products

And last but not least, here’s all the products that were in Sainsbury’s LAST YEAR in 2023.

They may be back this year… they may not! So either way, I thought I’d leave the link to last year’s post above just in case they do make a return.

Don’t forget to check out these Christmas supermarket posts too…

A full list of Asda’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024? Yes, please! Here’s part 2 of the ultimate guide for the festive season, featuring Asda’s free from aisle and beyond. And yes, these products are on shelves right now, Coeliac-friendly, wheat-free and with dairy-free options too.

  • 9TH DEC: 15 NEW PRODUCTS ADDED – A lot of festive trimmings like stuffing, pigs in blankets and stuffing balls with a few odd party food products thrown in too. Also I had put crisps in the confectionary section (oops!) so moved them to where they should be!
  • 5TH NOV: 49 NEW PRODUCTS ADDED – A few more free from aisle finds, a lot more festive ‘accidentally’ gluten-free chocolate, dairy-free advent calendars and crisps (seasonal aisle finds), roast dinner options (mostly aisle finds) and more chilled/frozen desserts added! Also added a little video to this post of the free from aisle 😇

Asda’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Free From Aisle

As always, our deep dive into Asda’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024 starts down their free from aisle. Here’s where you’ll find dedicated festive gluten-free products, often with dairy-free credentials too.

Though there’s lot of dairy-free options below (including chocolate), please remember that not everything down free from aisles is dairy-free! So in Asda, look for the highlighted blue ‘milk’ word, which indicates that the product is free from milk too.

Though in other supermarkets, you’ll sometimes find free from Christmas products down the seasonal aisle too, in Asda I usually find that’s not the case! So make sure you check the free from aisle first for these products.

I can’t help but feel like there’s more products to come still, so make sure you favourite this page and keep checking back for new additions periodically!

Asda’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Seasonal Confectionery Aisle + Advent Calendars

If you venture outside of the free from aisle (namely to the seasonal aisle and dedicated vegan section) you’ll find tons more products that are ‘accidentally’ gluten-free, including things like advent calendars, gifts and small sweet treats.

However, be sure to check the dedicated vegan section (it was near the free from aisle in my Asda) as there you’ll find Asda’s ‘OMV’ range. Quite a few of these products are gluten-free – though you’d never know it – and actually genuinely quite exciting! Otherwise, you’ll find the rest of the below products down the seasonal aisle.

Please bear in mind that I’m highlighting these products below specifically. Absolutely do not assume that just because one product is gluten-free and featured here in this post, that all products by the same brand also be gluten-free too. Quite often, that isn’t the case!

Asda’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Snacks, Party Food & Christmas Lunch

Over to mostly the freezer section of Asda’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024! I haven’t found a wealth in Asda when it comes to snacks (like crisps/popcorn etc), fresh/frozen party food options or Christmas lunch trimmings… but it’s still reasonably early for all that!

But of course, when I find them, you can bet your gluten-free bread fund that I’ll update this post and put them here! So needless to say, make sure you keep checking back on this post for updates.

But unlike when I first posted this blog post, I’ve found even more than just the first two products now. I thought the bacon-topped turkey joint was an especially good find as it even contains gluten-free stuffing!!

Asda’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Desserts

Like party food, festive desserts don’t often show up too early. But of course, as soon as they do begin to pop up in my Asda, I will be sure to find them and post them here!

Here’s a selection of desserts that are gluten-free that I’ve found so far. They were mostly in the freezers with all the ‘normal’ desserts, with a few options thrown on from the free from chilled aisle for your consideration. And again, please don’t assume that all meringue-based desserts are automatically gluten-free – I’ve highlighted the ones below specifically! It really does vary from supermarket to supermarket.

If you’ve found any desserts that I haven’t yet, be sure to take a photo of the product and let me know on social media. Thank you! For the time being, here’s everything I could find for now…

Last Year’s Products

And last but not least, here’s all the products that were in Asda LAST YEAR in 2023.

They may be back this year… they may not! So either way, I thought I’d leave the link to last year’s post above just in case they do make a return.

Tesco’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Free From Aisle

Let’s start off our hunt for Tesco’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024 down the free from aisle! You’ll find everything from chocolate chip Christmas trees, Millionaire’s Cookies, Sticky Toffee Tarts and of course, classics like mince pies and Christmas pudding too.

When it comes to dairy-free, there’s certainly lots to choose from but do remember that not everything featured below is suitable. A standout new dairy-free product would be the Galaxy dairy-free selection box – Mark has already tried it and is a big fan!

Don’t forget to check nearby seasonal aisles if you can’t find all of this down Tesco’s free from aisle. Sometimes the free from festive products can be found down there instead. Also, the festive sandwich is from the ‘to-go’ food section with all the sandwiches, but felt it belonged here in the post!

Tesco’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Snacks, Party Food & Christmas Lunch

If you venture outside of the free from aisle, there’s actually lots of festive goodies to be found though you might not notice them at first glance. Fortunately, that’s what this post is for!

This section will be a real mix of everything from Christmas lunch trimmings (remember to freeze them if you intend to keep them ready for December!), festive crisps/snacks and party food options. Please remember that when it comes to party food, supermarkets will always release new products closer to Christmas. So keep checking back on this post for updates!

Important reminder when shopping outside of the free from aisle: if a product has no ‘may contain’ for sources of gluten and no gluten-containing ingredients, then it’s considered gluten-free here in the UK! Though fortunately for us, lots of these products do have gluten-free labelling.

Pay close attention to the gravy granules (near the bottom of this section) as it’s a product that I just happened to find alongside all the gluten-containing gravy granules. However this one is ‘accidentally’ gluten-free with no ‘may contain’ warning! So please make the most of it this Christmas!

Tesco’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Seasonal Confectionery Aisle

If you head over to the seasonal aisle in Tesco, you’ll find a ton more stuff that’s ‘accidentally’ gluten-free, including things like advent calendars, gifts and small sweet treats.

Of course, you’re unlikely to find many dairy-free products here – so the free from aisle is your best best for gluten-free and dairy-free chocolate if you need it!

Please bear in mind that I’m highlighting these products below specifically. Absolutely do not assume that just because one product is gluten-free and featured here in this post, that all products by the same brand also be gluten-free too. Quite often, that isn’t the case!

Tesco’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Desserts

Like party food, festive desserts don’t often show up too early. But as we near closer to Christmas, you’ll most definitely see more pop up so keep checking back on this post (make sure it’s the one with lots of mentions ‘Tesco’s Gluten-free Christmas Products 2024‘ as last year’s post looks very similar!) as it will be continually updated right up until December 25th.

Here’s a selection of quite a few meringue-based desserts that are gluten-free that I’ve found so far and a couple others. They were all in the freezers with all the ‘normal’ desserts. Don’t forget to check the free from freezer section for familiar favourites that’ll more than do for a festive dessert.

And again, please don’t assume that all meringue-based desserts are automatically gluten-free – I’ve highlighted the ones below specifically! It really does vary from supermarket to supermarket.

Tesco’s gluten-free Christmas products 2024: Gluten-free Beer

This section of this post is a new thing as I don’t usually feature beer in these posts especially. But to be honest, upon visiting the alcohol aisle, I found that the selection of gluten-free beer on offer in Tesco has expanded so much since I last checked!

So please enjoy (responsibly) the great range of gluten-free beer on offer and feel free to let me know which is your favourite!

Last Year’s Products

And last but not least, here’s all the products that were in Tesco LAST YEAR in 2023.

They may be back this year… they may not! So either way, I thought I’d leave the link to last year’s post above just in case they do make a return.

Here’s my ultimate guide to gluten-free Christmas chocolates in UK supermarkets for 2023, including tons of ‘accidentally’ gluten-free products you didn’t know you could eat. They’re on shelves right now, Coeliac-friendly and wheat-free.

The ultimate gluten-free Christmas chocolates guide 2023 – because not even gluten or a ‘may contain’ gluten warning should get in the way of enjoying chocolate at Christmas! Here’s everything I’ve found across Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s, Marks and Spencer, Aldi, Lidl and more.

The ultimate gluten-free Christmas chocolates guide 2023

Since this is a guide that shows specific chocolate products across a range of different supermarkets, that’s exactly how I’ve decided to divide them up. Here’s a few important notes on gluten-free Christmas chocolates shopping before we get started:

• Most of these products will be down the seasonal confectionary aisle, but the gluten-free and dairy-free chocolates are most commonly stocked down the free from aisle. So make sure you check both if you need to!
• Though I’ve listed this post by supermarket, you’ll also likely find these products in farm shops, garden centres, corner shops and bargain shops too. So don’t forget to check these places too!
• Just because one product from a brand is gluten-free, that doesn’t mean all of the other products from that brand are gluten-free too. That’s exactly why I create posts like this, so you can identify the ones which are safe in a sea of products that aren’t!
• Though I’ve checked all of the products myself, please ensure you check the ingredients labels on everything before you buy them. To be gluten-free, they shouldn’t have any gluten-containing ingredients or ‘may contain’ warnings for gluten, wheat etc.
• Some products that were gluten-free last year aren’t gluten-free this year, so don’t just blindly buy the same as last year!
• Don’t assume that all of the mini chocolate selection products are gluten-free. Yes, Quality Street and Roses are, but Celebrations are not gluten-free! Also, almost all of the Cadbury Heroes chocolates are gluten-free, apart from the ‘dinky decker’ inside – but I haven’t included Cadbury Heroes in this post as there’s no easy and clear way to post the product whilst clearly stating this caveat.
• Double check back with this list to confirm you’ve got the right product from the right supermarket. With so many of these products spread across so many supermarkets, it can be easy to forget which specific supermarket does what and end up buying the wrong thing. So be sure to check the ingredients first, or check back with this list first!

Gluten-free Christmas Chocolates 2023: Tesco

As with all these festive chocolate products, you’ll find them down the seasonal aisle and Tesco is no different.

You’ll find LOTS of stuff that’s ‘accidentally’ gluten-free, including small gifts and small sweet treats that’d make great stocking fillers.

Scroll to the bottom for one of the product I never expected to be gluten-free: Milkybar Speculoos, which is basically white chocolate flavoured to taste like Lotus Biscoff biscuits! What’s even more shocking is that regular Milkybar is never gluten-free, so make that most of that one especially for me.

See the bottom of this section for a nice selection of dairy-free AND gluten-free Christmas chocolates – note that you’ll likely have to head to the free from aisle for these products.

Gluten-free Christmas Chocolates 2023: Asda

Asda have a fantastic range of festive chocolates including own-brand honeycomb, fudge, slabs and truffles; I’ll include a few confectionary products like candy canes here too just because!

They also have all the classics, from Quality Street and Roses, to Quality Street bars and Cadbury chocolate coins.

In case you hadn’t noticed already, Christmas is often the time where we get products from brands that produce products we ordinarily can’t eat the rest of the year: Milkybar/KitKat festive friends, Cadbury Mini Snow Balls and Terry’s chocolate orange balls to name a few.

So make sure you make the most of these products this Christmas as they’ll soon disappear for an entire year once again!

Gluten-free Christmas Chocolates 2023: Sainsbury’s

And Sainsbury’s is no different when it comes to gluten-free Christmas chocolate; they have a brilliant selection of stocking fillers, small edible gifts and sweets too.

Take note of the grand Ferrero Rocher, which whilst not as exciting as you might first expect (it’s essentially a chocolate hazelnut Easter egg that’s empty inside) is still one of the few Ferrero Rocher products we can actually eat!

Otherwise, it’s a very similar situation to Asda here with a great choice of Sainsbury’s own-brand products as well as brands that you wouldn’t expect to be creating gluten-free products.

That’s the magic of Christmas, I guess! Sainsbury’s also has a fantastic selection of dairy-free Christmas products too.

Gluten-free Christmas Chocolates 2023: Marks and Spencer

Like most supermarkets, lots of the festive chocolate in M&S is gluten-free, but remember to be wary and ensure you check ingredients labels to ensure you have the correct product.

Mark’s and Spencer has the best selection of own-brand ‘accidentally’ gluten-free products so far – as you’ll see from scrolling down further.

But of course, as M&S largely only stock their own brand products, you won’t find Christmas classics like Quality Street and Roses here, so bear that mind if they’re of high importance!

Regardless, M&S’ seasonal aisle a great place to pick up a unique gluten-free gift that maybe your recipient hasn’t seen before… unless they’ve also read this post!

Gluten-free Christmas Chocolates 2023: Aldi

Like most supermarkets, you’ll find some decent options in Aldi when it comes to small festive sweet treats or boxes of chocolates for sharing or gifting. These would all make good stocking fillers!

Aldi’s range of truffles are the standout here, not just being for being ‘gluten-free’ and having a nice selection, but also for their affordable price. Also, the ‘milk chocolate mountain bar’ is like a cheaper Toblerone!

Of course, there’s no classics like Quality Street or Roses here, so you’ll have to head to either Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s, Lidl, Waitrose or Morrison’s for those.

Sadly, if you’re dairy-free, you likely won’t find anything in Aldi that’s suitable at all here.

Gluten-free Christmas Chocolates 2023: Lidl

Fortunately, there’s some variety and choice when it comes to seasonal chocolates and treats in Lidl and even… *world’s biggest drumroll*

An actual dairy-free product! Yep, make sure you note the MooFree selection box as in Aldi for example, you won’t find any dairy-free options at all. It may not be much, but it’s something!

Note that Lidl actually does have Quality Street and Roses too, whereas Aldi didn’t when I last popped in.

Gluten-free Christmas Chocolates 2023: Morrison’s

Morrison’s is a great place for all the big brand ‘accidentally’ gluten-free products, but apart from a handful of own-brand products, there isn’t quite as many own-brand products as you’ll find in Tesco, Asda or Sainsbury’s.

But even still, between the grand Ferrero Rocher making an appearance once and again the amount of KitKat and Milkybar festive friends you’ll find in Morrison’s, I’m pretty sure you won’t struggle to find something you’ll like!

Of course, I’ll include a few sweets in here too since I found them in the same aisle.

Gluten-free Christmas Chocolates 2023: Waitrose

And if you head over to the seasonal aisle in Waitrose, you’ll find LOTS of stuff that’s ‘accidentally’ gluten-free.

Waitrose has four of Mark’s favourite dairy-free options thanks to the NOMO and Booja products.

A lot of these products would make great gifts and the own-brand Waitrose products not only sound/look delicious, but obviously, you also won’t be able to pick these up anywhere else.
