Aldi have received superb reviews for their Christmas products this year.
I think their mince pies came second to Waitrose among other supermarkets and most of their food was highly praised.
If only they delivered, but I suppose they would lose their competitive edge price wise if they did.

I always buy one of the more expensive Puddings from Aldi. Usually around £8 or £9 and always very nice.

There are usually reviews in the newspapers which can be useful.
I'm not making any either as no-one else eats it besides DH and me. Probably Waitrose or M&S but a plainer pudding as I don't like nuts or cherries in a Christmas Pudding.

I want to get suggestions too for Christmas cake and pudding, though I don't eat it, ever.

This year I’m not making a Christmas cake or pudding so I thought it might be an idea to ask for your thoughts on the best ones available in shops. Maybe also what to avoid!
