Tesco has revealed its Christmas range and it includes giant pigs in blankets

There may be four months until Christmas but that hasn't stopped Tesco from revealing its festive offering for 2020.

The supermarket's seasonal range will include plenty of luxurious treats to enjoy on December 25th, including giant pigs in blankets.

Priced at £2 for a 274g pack, each giant porker has been seasoned with pepper before being wrapped in bacon. We reckon they'd be perfect as a side dish or as a canape.

This year's Tesco festive range also features some impressive plant-based dishes, so you'll be able to pick up everything you need to create a delicious vegan Christmas feast.

These include the Plant Chef Meat-Free Festive Vegan Roast, the Wicked Kitchen No-Turkey Roast Crown and the Wicked Kitchen Ginger Chai Cake. Yum!

The items on Tesco's Christmas menu will be launching on different days in August, October and November.

Here's what you need to know.

Tesco sausage roll log, £5

Your Christmas guests are sure to be impressed by this giant sausage roll "log" from Tesco.

This sees seasoned pork meat wrapped in puff pastry and topped with festive pastry leaves.

Available from November 16, it serves up to 10 people, making it perfect for Christmas gatherings.

Tesco Finest chocolate orange and maple bauble cake, £13

No festive spread is complete without a statement dessert and you can't go too far wrong with this stunning cake.

Two layers of moist orange sponge and a layer of chocolate orange brownie are sandwiched together with Belgian chocolate and orange buttercream.

We think the toppings are the best part: a white chocolate bauble decoration and maple-flavoured buttercream.

Once cut open, the cake reveals a surprise centre containing chocolate cereal malt balls. It serves up to 14 people so is ideal for any Christmas dinner parties.

Available from November 23.

Tesco giant pigs in blankets (pack of 10), £2

If you're a huge fan of pigs in blankets, you won't want to miss out on these giant options by Tesco.

They launch on November 23, just in time for when the festivities begin.

Tesco Plant Chef Meat-Free Festive Vegan Roast, £6

Tesco has announced it will be releasing a 'first of its kind' whole vegan turkey crown as part of its  Christmas 2020 range.

The log-shaped centrepiece is created with pea protein and caramelised red onions and is served with a sweet Merlot red wine glaze.

Tesco Finest gingerbread latte flavoured Irish cream liqueur 75cl, £20

It's never too early to start stocking up on festive tipples, which is probably why Tesco's gingerbread latte Irish cream liqueur is set to hit stores from August 31.

Perfect for washing down your Christmas dinner, it has sweet malty biscuit notes and warming ginger, which is enhanced by a subtle coffee bitterness.

Tesco Finest BBQ beef mac and cheese cups, £5

These mac and cheese bites are infused with mustard to give them a fiery kick.

What's more, they are also topped with pulled Applewood-smoked beef in a sweet BBQ sauce.

Shoppers will be able to buy the meaty treats in packs of 12 from October 12.

Meanwhile, Aldi has revealed its 2020 Christmas range that includes truffle pigs in blankets.

The supermarket's festive offerings will be launching on different dates from September to November.
