Tesco is launching NINE different types of pigs in blankets for Christmas

With Christmas now just 63 days away, it's almost time to start thinking about Christmas Dinner, and more specifically, pigs in blankets.

They're undoubtedly the best dish of the festive season, and anyone who disagrees can quite frankly get in the bin.

Luckily, Tesco agrees, and has released no less than nine different varieties of pigs in blankets for Christmas 2019, and there really is something for everyone.

From spicy and chicken versions, to a vegan variation and even a chocolate one, the supermarket's made sure the whole family can enjoy a pig in a blanket this year.
