While we do feel that sprouts are rather hard done by and there's a strong case for roast potatoes to be the star of the Christmas dinner show, there is one thing many of us all look forward to the most...pigs in blankets!
The sausage wrapped in bacon taste sensation has become just as much a staple of dinner plates on December 25 (and well in advance!) and if you're a big of them, get ready to drool at the mouth with news of a colossal version hitting the shelves this year.
Aldi announced in September that this year, they'd be selling a giant, six foot long pig in blanket in time for Santa coming and now the £4.99 treat has hit shelves.
As you'd expect when it comes to Christmas food, a number of supermarkets are once again trying to out do each other with their festive offerings.
Lidl are selling a 1.2kg 'Feast in blanket', which is essentially an entire Christmas dinner (including sprouts), wrapped up in bacon.
Locally, a Whitley Bay chippy is selling and a Newcastle restaurant has teased served with a giant Yorkshire Pudding.
We can feel the festive pounds creeping on already!
