Heinz releases limited edition 'Christmas dinner in a can' creation as answer to food shortage

Heinz have launched a controversial Christmas dinner in a can with all your favourite turkey and trimmings included ahead of the big day.

The legendary soup and condiment brand have not held back this year, with the can including Brussel sprouts and pigs in blankets, amongst others.

It contains "big chunks" of turkey, pigs in blankets, Brussels sprouts, stuffing balls and potatoes, with a gravy and cranberry sauce.

Not everyone will be able to get their hands on this weird and wonderful creation, however, as only 500 tins are being produced, making it a limited edition and extremely rare novelty, as WalesOnline report.

Relief for those who love the sound of this new creation, though, as Heinz have announced that they will produce more next year if it goes down as a success.

A survey from Heinz suggests 36% of those who celebrate Christmas prefer the traditional dinner to any other meal.

Some 42% admitted that if it did not take as long to cook, they would have it more often. 36% would also have it more often if it did not amount to such a high cost.

Anke von Hanstein, brand manager for Heinz Soups, said: "We are so excited for the lucky 500 people to try this sensational seasonal addition to Heinz’s Big Soup family.

"It is made for those with a big love for hearty festive flavours and tastes just perfect with a slice of warm crusty bread. Any soup that includes pigs in blankets and roasties is a winner in our eyes.

"And if these lucky few who managed to get their hands on it love it as much as we do, Heinz Christmas Dinner Big Soup might be back next year, bigger and better. Watch this space."

The 500 cans are available as of today (November 1) at Heinztohome.co.uk/Christmas for £1.50, plus postage and packaging.
