With Christmas just around the corner, finding festive treats and essentials that are safe for those of us on a gluten-free diet can be a challenge. Luckily, Tesco has stepped up its game this year with an impressive range of gluten-free Christmas products. I’ve had a chance to explore their selection, and here are my top picks to make your holiday season merry, bright, and gluten-free.
Almond and Orange Mincemeat Slices
These delightful slices are bursting with festive flavour. The combination of almond and orange gives a fresh twist to the traditional mincemeat filling, and the crumbly gluten-free pastry is just perfect. Serve these warm with a dollop of cream or enjoy them as a treat with your afternoon tea.
Gluten-Free Stuffing Mixes
Tesco offers two options for stuffing mix this year: the Paxo stuffing mix and their own Tesco-branded version. Both are excellent bases for creating a savory stuffing to accompany your Christmas roast. Add your favourite herbs, nuts, or dried fruits to personalize it to your taste.
Vegetable and Beef Gravies
Finding gluten-free gravy that doesn’t compromise on flavour can be tricky, but Tesco’s vegetable and beef gravies are a game-changer. Both are rich, flavourful, and ready to pair with your turkey, ham, or roast vegetables. Say goodbye to the stress of making gravy from scratch!
Gluten-Free Gingerbread Men
These adorable gingerbread men are a hit with kids and adults alike. They’re spiced just right, with a soft yet sturdy texture that’s perfect for decorating. Whether you’re building a gingerbread house or looking for a snack to dunk in your coffee, these are a must-have.

5. Cheese and Caramelised Onion Christmas Tree Tortilla Chips
These festive tortilla chips are shaped like Christmas trees and pack a savory punch with their cheese and caramelized onion flavour. They’re perfect for setting out as a snack during Christmas parties or enjoying with a gluten-free dip.
Caramelised Apple Crumble Pies
If you’re a fan of fruity desserts, these pies are a dream come true. The filling is sweet and tangy, with the perfect hint of caramel, and the crumble topping adds a delightful crunch. Pair them with custard or ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
Christmas Puddings
No Christmas dinner is complete without a traditional pudding afterwards, and Tesco’s gluten-free versions delivers on all counts. It’s rich, fruity, and has just the right amount of spice. Warm it up and serve with brandy butter or cream for a classic end to your meal.
Gluten-Free Batter Mix for Yorkshire Puddings
Yorkshire puddings are no longer off the menu for gluten-free folks! Tesco’s batter mix makes it easy to whip up light and fluffy Yorkshire puddings that everyone at the table will enjoy.
Christmas Tree Biscuits
While I wasn’t able to find these festive biscuits in my local Tesco during my visit, they are available at some other locations. If you come across them, snap them up! These gluten-free biscuits are said to be beautiful and make a wonderful addition to any holiday spread.
A Festive Shopping Tip If you’re planning to stock up on these gluten-free goodies, don’t wait too long! These seasonal products tend to fly off the shelves quickly.
Check your local Tesco or their online store to grab your favourites before they’re gone.
