Tesco has unveiled its Christmas food range, and there are untold amounts of magical goodies on offer.

The supermarket is going all out this year, with nine varieties of pigs in blankets – some sweet, some savory – a gorgeous prosciutto platter, coated in Italian black truffle, and a selection of beautiful centrepieces.

Meat-free options include Italian mozzarella and pesto arancini balls for starters, and a butternut squash, mushroom and chestnut wreath for mains.

As always, like turkeys, mince puds and mince pies will be on shelves too.

Here’s a preview of what you will be able to buy in Tesco this Christmas:
