Cracking Christmas Line Up!
13 November 2019
Country Choice is all set for some festive fun with a selection of new lines for Christmas 2019, backed up by some old favourites.
Joining the party are Christmas Jammy Shortbreads, individually wrapped jam-filled biscuits decorated with either a Christmas bell or a Christmas tree. Available in mixed cases of 2 x 8, the biscuits have an rrp of £1.49. New individual Chocolate Yule Cakes, rrp £1.49, and bite sized Chocolate Orange Funtime Donuts, four for £1.29, are also on the festive menu, alongside a Crumble Topped Mince Pie, packed in 24s with an rrp of £1.49.
The new lines join the existing Country Choice Christmas range which includes three varieties of mince pie - shallow shortcrust, luxury deep fill with brandy, and puff pie with brandy, along with four types of thaw and serve mince pie ranging from a luxury product stuffed with sultanas, raisins, currants, and orange and lemon peel, to mini mince pies, bite-sized shortcrust pies with a star-shaped lid. An 80g thaw and serve gluten-free mince pie completes the line-up.
A thaw and serve wheat, gluten, and dairy-free iced fruit cake combines a rich filling of fruits and mixed peel with a layer of marzipan and a topping of white icing. Packed in 18s, each generous slice has an rrp of £1.59.
Festive Friends marshmallow-topped biscuits are back, decorated to look like a snowman or reindeer, alongside Chocolate Mallow Puddings, and Snowman Cupcakes. The thaw and serve trio are always popular with the young and are a profitable addition, with rrps of £1 each for the Festive Friends and £1.49 for the puddings and cupcakes. Mini Gingerbread Biscuits, shaped like santas and snowmen, and a decorated Gingerbread Muffin bring a touch of Christmas spice.
New for 2019
For the grown-ups, the Cranberry Twist returns, along with a butter croissant pastry twist filled with crème patissiere and sweet cranberry pieces. The 90g twist is ready to bake, and has an rrp of £1.09.
Savoury offerings include a turkey, stuffing and cranberry sandwich filling, two ready to bake bars - pork and cranberry, and steak and cheese – and two festive bakes, a turkey, stuffing, cranberry and ham bake, and a chicken and stuffing bake, perfect for lunch on the go.
Finally, a range of 24g bite-sized ambient savouries are perfect for impromptu parties. Three varieties – spicy beef sausage meat in a lattice puff pastry, seasoned pork sausage meat wrapped in puff pastry, and cheese and onion filling wrapped in puff pastry – have an rrp of 16 for £2 and a wrapped, ambient shelf life of 12 hours.
