Sainsbury’s Gluten Free and Dairy Free Christmas Food (2026)

If you’re looking for Sainsbury’s gluten free Christmas food range then you have come to the right place! And I can’t believe I’m typing this in August, but I’ve got a first look at some of the new gluten free Christmas food in Sainsbury’s for Christmas 2026!

Being August Bank Holiday Weekend it’s still early days – but here’s what I found on the free from shelves so far for CHRISTMAS!!

Including lots of dairy free treats. I’ve kept the 2025 products listed below too, so take a look you want a reminder of last year’s gluten free Sainsbury’s Christmas food.

So what’s new in Sainsbury’s Christmas food for 2026? Let’s take a look…

Sainsbury’s 2026 Gluten Free Christmas Foods:

Here are all the 2025 Sainsbury’s free from Christmas goodies I’ve found so far. Obviously it’s still only early days, so I’ll add all my new finds as I come across them at the top.

Sainsbury’s Free From Frangipane Mince Pies

I love a gluten free mince pies variation and these frangipane mince pies sound delightful! They are gluten and dairy free, and would be perfect warm with custard!

The normal gluten free mince pies, iced mince pies and mini mince pies are also on the shelves, though I forgot to take a photo in my excitement at finding these!

Sainsbury’s Free From Amaretto Tiramisu Cake Slices

I love the idea of adding amaretto to a gluten free tiramisu, so these cake slices sound delicious. Perfect for party food or serving at a gluten free festive buffet. And speaking of tiramisu….

Schär Gluten Free Savoiardi

I was SO pleased to see we can finally buy gluten free Savoiardi on the shelves in the UK! Of course I love making my own gluten free ladyfingers, but if you don’t fancy it, now you can easily use these for a gluten free trifle or tiramisu!

Sainsbury’s Free From Cinnamon Bun Inspired Cookie Creams

Oh I love a variation on a gluten free Oreo-style biscuit and these sound very fun! I’ll definitely be grabbing a pack – imagine a gluten free Biscoff cheesecake made from them!!

Sainsbury’s Free From White Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies

After the viral M&S white chocolate and gingerbread cookies last year, I was pretty confident we’d see at least one gluten free variation of them. And these sound yummy!!

Sainsbury’s free from Mini Festive Lottie Caterpillar Cakes

How cute are these gluten free festive caterpillar cakes!? The best news is they are free from gluten, egg and dairy, so EVERYONE can enjoy them!!

Sainsbury’s Free From Dark Chocolate Mints

It’s always nice seeing some ‘posh’ chocolates in the free from aisle and I love the sound of these mint ones. They’d be great as a gift or for passing round after Christmas dinner.

Sainsbury’s Free From Festive Shortbread

You can’t beat a good gluten free shortbread, and these are flavoured with orange and warming spices. They’d make a lovely present.

Nairn’s Dark Chocolate and Cherry Biscuits

I love the sound of these chunky biscuit breaks from Nairn’s – a limited edition flavour of dark chocolate and cherry. I do love anything cherry-flavoured so excited to try them.

Nairn’s Gluten Free Sweet Biscuit Selection

I absolutely love the Nairn’s savoury biscuit selection so it’s nice to see a sweet version on the shelves this year. This would be a fabulous Christmas present!

Sainsbury’s Gluten Free Christmas Puddings

There’s some choice when it comes to the gluten free Christmas puddings in Sainsbury’s this year and it’s still only early days for 2026.

They have two sizes of their standard free from Christmas pudding, and one size in the Taste the Difference gluten free Christmas pudding too.

All the options are gluten and dairy free Christmas puddings and the Finest one won silver in the Free From Food Awards in 2024 too.

Sainsbury’s gluten free mini mince pies

Erm HOW CUTE are these mini gluten free mince pies from Sainsbury’s!?

These originally launched as part of the Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference gluten free range in 2022 are are back for another year. I just love them!

These gluten and milk free mini mince pies would be perfect for a party or to stock up on for Father Christmas himself…

Sainsbury’s 2025 Gluten Free Christmas Foods:

Here are all of the 2025 Sainsbury’s free from Christmas goodies I found last year, in case you want a reminder of what might be to come!

Sainsbury’s Gluten Free Hot Chocolate Cups

How cool do these look!? A gluten free pastry case with ganache filling and marshmallows – plus they’re gluten and dairy free.

They recommend serving them warm and I think they’d be an excellent dessert alternative to mince pies!

Sainsbury’s Free From Festive Eric the Caterpillar Cake

I do love a Caterpillar Cake and it looks like Eric has had a festive makeover to be gluten, dairy and nut-free. Perfect for a party table, and kids would absolutely love it!

Sainsbury’s Free From Apple Crumble Tarts

These apple crumble tarts loo like another great alternative to mince pies and are also gluten and dairy free. With a cinnamon sponge and oat crumble, they sound great!

Sainsbury’s Free From Yule Log

This show-stopping yule log looks great and it’s gluten, dairy and nut-free. It would be a fab alternative to making my gluten free yule log recipe, and perfect for feeding a crowd,.

Sainsbury’s Frozen Spring Roll Selection

These new frozen spring rolls in the party food aisle are accidentally gluten free, hurrah! Not to be confused with the 16-pack of Vegetable Spring Rolls (v similar packaging) which contain wheat – make sure you pick up the right box!

Sainsbury’s Spanish Chorizo Croquetas

Pretty much none of the ‘normal’ chilled party food is gluten free, but find these Chorizo Croquetas which are accidentally gluten free! They’re made with a rice flour crumb – I can’t wait to give them a try, they’re currently in my fridge!

Gluten Free Spring Rolls & Tempura Prawns

I really hope these new gluten free tempura prawns and gluten free spring rolls are here to stay! They are new in the free from frozen aisle and would make the best party food. Gluten free spring rolls are always hard to find so I’ll be stocking up – can’t wait to try them.

Sainsbury’s Free From Festive Sausage Roll

Well this is something new and exciting! A brand new gluten free festive sausage roll in the chilled free from aisle, with smoked bacon and cranberries. They have a new gluten free sausage roll as part of their ‘normal’ free from range but this Christmas one sounds delish!

Sainsbury’s Free From Festive Desserts

These two gluten and dairy free tarts both look like epic gluten free Christmas desserts! The lemon one sounds right up my street and how decadent does the chocolate salted caramel one look!? I found these in the chilled section of the free from aisle.

Sainsbury’s Free From Chicken, Leek and Ham Pie

I’m not sure this new gluten free chicken and ham pie is a festive addition but it looks absolutely delicious to me. A great cosy meal idea in the chilled free from section.

Sainsbury’s Free From Chocolate Orange Brownies

These gluten free chocolate orange brownies look so sparkly and delicious! A lovely festive treat for the a party food table or Christmas dessert!

Sainsbury’s Gluten Free Christmas Sandwich

I was really excited to see that Sainsbury’s free from Christmas sandwich this year is a brie and cranberry one!

Don’t get me wrong, I love a turkey feast with all the trimmings but I REALLY love brie – and it’s great to have a gluten free, vegetarian Christmas sandwich option.

Sainsbury’s Free From Spiced Apple Crumble Oaty Cookies

I’m loving the cosy autumnal vibes of these new Spiced Apple Crumble Oaty biscuits from Sainsbury’s. They are gluten free with dried apple pieces and sound delicious. I’ve not seen these before, so I think they’re completely new for 2025.

Sainsbury’s Free From Cranberry and Orange Shortbread

These all butter, cranberry and orange shortbreads are another new product for 2025 from Sainsbury’s Christmas range. Gluten free, all butter shortbreads which are half dipped in chocolate? Sign me up!

Sainsbury’s Free From Shortbread Rounds

One thing I think really missing from the gluten free world at Christmas is ‘fancy’ gluten free Biscuits. So I’m loving the look of these gluten and dairy free shortbread rounds. Sometimes its nice to have something gift-able which looks a bit special, and these look fantastic!

Sainsbury’s Free From Salted Caramel Bauble Tiffin

I saw a lot of these giant bauble desserts in other free from Christmas ranges last year and I don’t think Sainsbury’s did one. This giant tiffin looks like a great option for a party or dessert – plus its gluten, dairy and egg free so suitable for lots of people to enjoy.

Sainsbury’s Free From Snowman Hollow

It’s always nice to see some dairy free (and gluten free) options for kids and this hollow snowman is super cute. Gluten and milk free, this would make a great gift this Christmas.

Sainsbury’s Milk Chocolate Gingerbread People

Well these gluten free gingerbread people also look like they’d be great for the kids at Christmas. Even better because they’re half coated in chocolate.

These are gluten free – not dairy free – and I love the cute packaging!

Sainsbury’s gluten free chocolate orange cookies and cream

That’s right, they’re back! Everyone always goes nuts for these chocolate orange cookies each year and they’re back on the free from shelves.

The new Oreo-style chocolate orange cookies arrived in 2020 and are back for the fifth year in a row. And they’re so delicious.

Sainsbury’s Free From Frozen Party Food

Most of these actually launched in 2023 as part of the year-round frozen free from range but the cheese and potato croquettes seem to be new for 2025.

The Mac and Cheese Balls sound INCREDIBLE, and of course I’m very happy to have gluten free Mozzarella Sticks back on the table.

Nairn’s gluten free mini cheese bakes

I’m a big fan of the Nairn’s cheese bakes – they’re just like gluten free Mini Cheddars! So to find this new festive pack is very exciting.

Mainly because you get a whole box, which means more cheesy goodness! And of course, us gluten free folk don’t share food, right!?

Nairn’s gluten free savoury biscuit selection

I’m just putting this out there – I think crackers and cheese is the best thing about Christmas. So I always like to stock up on these Nairn’s savoury biscuits!

Sainsbury’s Turkey Gravy Granules

I love an accidentally gluten free find and these turkey gravy granules in Sainsbury’s are free from gluten – but found with the ‘normal’ gravies.

I tried some earlier this week and its delicious. Nice to have the price point of a ‘normal’ food item without the free from premium!

What’s still to come?

That’s all my finds so far from Sainsbury’s Crhistmas food – though I am hopeful there will be lots more to come!

Of course, as and when new gluten free Christmas foods appear in Sainsbury’s I’ll add them to this list with the newest ones first.
