Halloumi wrapped in bacon is coming to Aldi at Christmas

Christmas is months away but supermarkets have already unveiled their festive menus - and there's one very exciting item being sold in Aldi.

Introducing the new halloumi in blankets, a high-calorie ball of deliciousness.

After the sell-out success of their halloumi fries, the bargain supermarket giant is back with another novel cheesy Christmas treat.

And what better way to make halloumi even tastier than to give it a winter coat of bacon?

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

As an alternative, or let's be honest more likely an addition, to pigs in blankets, the traditional sausage is replaced with cheese and wrapped in a streak of bacon, according to the MirrorOnline.

But eager shoppers will have to wait until December 5 until they can get their hands on the dish.

For those unwilling to break with long-standing traditions, pig in blanket will also be on offer.

Packs of the mini pork favourites are old news with a  two metre long version  also going on sale on December 5 - setting you back just £4.99.

To wash it all down you can grab a bottle of shimmery candy cane gin while you're there.

Flavoured with peppermint and hint of vanilla, it's bright red in colour and shimmers when you shake it, to give it a glittery appearance.

It's already out now, priced at £9.99, but there's very little chance it will last on our shelves until December.
