Forget pigs in blankets: halloumi wrapped in bacon is coming to Aldi for Christmas

Christmas dinner is about to get another upgrade as Aldi will be selling halloumi in blankets this festive season.

After releasing instant sell-out halloumi fries earlier in the year the supermarket giant is back with a Christmas version of the cheesy treat.

And what better way to make halloumi even tastier than to give it a winter coat of bacon? Move over pigs in blankets!

The bite-size snacks are part of Aldi's festive range which was unveiled in full this week, as reported by The Sun.

Aldi has confirmed they will hit the shops from December 5 and although the price has yet to be released, anyone hoping to get their hands on a few have been told to keep their eyes on the supermarket's  Christmas page.

For those unwilling to break with long-standing traditions and wanting to stay loyal to the tried and tested pig in blanket, Aldi have you covered too with a giant version of the treat.
