Following on from my first Free From Christmas instalment with my gluten and dairy free finds in Tesco, I can now bring you part two – my gluten and dairy free Christmas finds in Sainsbury’s!
Tesco was always going to be a hard one to beat, as it has launched SO many new Free From products in its festive range. Sainsbury’s has a smaller range but I was once again particularly impressed with its range of stuffing and sausage-based foods. Needless to say, I have already bought and demolished some of the pigs in blankets and they were lush!
I’ve already tried a few of these goodies, but here’s my guide to what Christmas food can find that’s gluten free in Sainsbury’s at the moment…
The below product listings have been updated for 2019…
Sainsbury’s free from choc, cherry & amaretto cookies
These gluten free choc, cherry and amaretto cookies from Sainsbury’s sound divine! They look like a proper grown-up treat and I love the snazzy new-look packaging too. These would make a lovely festive treat, perfect for a party platter or giving as a gift.
Free from cookie & shortbread selection
I absolutely love a selection box and this cookies and shortbread selection box from Sainsbury’s sounds fantastic. The perfect mix of gluten free treats and great to stock up on for when you have family over or to give as a gift. The double chocolate ones look incredible.
Gluten free cranberry and orange mince pies
I am a HUGE mince pie fan but these gluten free cranberry and orange mince pies from Sainsbury’s look extra special! I love the pink dusting on top and the fact they’re a large, open-style mince pie. I found these in the free from aisle and am looking forward to trying them!
Sainsbury’s ginger tiffin bites
These cute and sparkly little ginger tiffin bites from Sainsbury’s are gluten, wheat and dairy free and they look super festive. They’d be a great addition to a party spread, or just scoff the lot while you’re enjoying a festive evening at home!
Violife festive dairy free cheese platter
How good is this festive cheese platter from Violife? It’s all dairy free and includes mature, smoked and garlic & chilli dairy free cheeses. Definitely stock up on this – I found it in Sainsbury’s chilled free from aisle.
Sainsbury’s dairy free chocolate Santas
How cute are these! They’re gluten and dairy free and only £1 each so would make the perfect stocking fillers. I found them in the Christmas aisle in Sainsbury’s with the ‘normal’ chocolates.
Sainsbury’s gluten free gingerbread snowman
Another super cute new product! These little gingerbread snowmen in the free from aisle in Sainsbury’s would make a lovely present for a kid and are gluten and dairy free.

Sainsbury’s gluten free mince pies
Sainsbury’s have both an iced and pastry-topped gluten free mince pie, so there’s definitely something for everyone to enjoy!
Sainsbury’s vegan mini choc gingerbread people
Ah how cute are these little gingerbread people? They’re gluten free and vegan – I found them in the free from aisle in Sainsbury’s with the other Christmas food.
Rhythm 108 Chocolate Orange bar
If you’re missing Terry’s Chocolate Orange, you’re going to love this gluten free and vegan Swiss dark chocolate and orange bar from Rhythm 108. Found in the free from aisle in Sainsbury’s.
Sainsbury’s gluten free Christmas wrap
The Sainsbury’s gluten free Christmas wrap is a new one this year and it looks tasty. The Gluten Free Turkey Feast Wrap has the classic turkey and stuffing combo, and is dairy free as well. It doesn’t come as part of any meal deal, but then the Sainsbury’s gluten free sandwiches never seem to!
Gluten free cheddar jalapeño sticks
It’s so good to see Sainsbury’s have some more gluten free options in their party food range! Not all of the breaded items are gluten free but these jalapeño cheddar sticks are.
Mini cheese and bacon shells
These mini cheese and bacon shells from Sainsbury’s sound delicious. I found them in the chilled party food season and I’ll definitely have to stock up!
Gluten free mozzarella sticks
I found these gluten free mozzarella sticks a little while ago and am so pleased they’re here to stay! These are in the chilled party food aisle.
Mini Thai salmon fishcakes
These are a really different idea for Christmas party food and sound amazing – these mini Thai salmon fishcakes are gluten free too!
Loaded BBQ jackfruit rostis
It’s brilliant to see some gluten free and vegan party food – most seems to be cheese or meat based! These BBQ jackfruit loaded rostis sound super interesting.
Firecracker chicken wings
Good news for spice fans, these firecracker chicken wings are gluten free, woohoo!
Dairy free Christmas cheeses
These gluten and dairy free cheeses would be fantastic for a cheeseboard. I love the festive packaging – there are blue cheese and cranberry options. Found in the chilled free from aisle.
Gluten free pork, cranberry and apple stuffing
I’ve really become a fan of fruit in savoury foods this year, when I always used to hate it! This gluten free pork, cranberry and apple stuffing sounded really interesting.
Gluten free pigs in blankets
Confession: I actually ate this pack about an hour before writing this post! They were so tasty – perfect on the dinner table, or my favourite is on cocktail sticks as part of a party platter! They also had chipolatas wrapped in bacon too, but these would be my sausage side of choice.
Gluten free pork, sage and onion stuffing balls
From what I can see, all of the stuffing and Taste the Difference sausage ranges are gluten free, which is great news. These look really cute and would be great on the dinner table on Christmas day. Pork, sage and onion is a classic combo, and they come in packs of 12 or 20.
British pork sausagemeat
The Taste the Difference sausagemeat is clearly labelled as gluten free, so if you want to make your own stuffing then do make sure you pick this up from the chilled aisle!
