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 2025!

A montage of Sainsbury's free from Christmas products.

I’m sure there will be lots more to come, but here’s what I found on the free from shelves so far – including lots of dairy free treats. I’ve kept the 2024 products listed below too, so you can skip to that if you want a reminder of last year’s gluten free Sainsbury’s Christmas food.

So what’s new in Sainsbury’s Christmas food for 2025? Let’s take a look…

Sainsbury’s 2025 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 Gluten Free Hot Chocolate Cups

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

Sainsbury's Free From Eric the Caterpillar.

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

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

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

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

A pack of gluten free 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

A hand holding a gluten free 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

Sainsbury's free from salted caramel tart.
Sainsbury's free from lemon tart.

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

Gluten Free chicken and leek pie from Sainsbury's.

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

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

Sainsbury's free from christmas sandwich with brie and cranberry.

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

A box of Sainsbury's gluten free spiced apple crumble 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

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

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

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

Sainsbury's Free From Hollow Snowman.

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

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

Sainsbury's free from chocolate coated orange cookies and cream biscuits.

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 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 2025.

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 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

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

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!

They are perfect for the Boxing Day fridge raid and honestly it’s just nice seeing some savoury gluten free Christmas treats.

Sainsbury’s 2024 Gluten Free Christmas Foods:

Here are all of the 2024 Sainsbury’s free from Christmas goodies I found last year, in case you want a reminder of what might be to come!

Sainsbury’s Christmas crisps

These festive crisps were with the Christmas food – not specifically free from – but they are all gluten free with no may contain warnings!

Sainsbury's jumbo pigs in blankets flavour puffs.

I love the sound of these Sainsbury’s jumbo pigs in blankets flavour puffs and the bag is huge! Definitely need to get some of these for my next festive gathering.

Sainsbury's glazed gammon combo mix.

This Sainsbury’s glazed gammon combo mix looks like a great mix to have out in a bowl when you have friends and family over. I love all the different shapes!

Sainsbury's Christmas tree salted tortilla chips.

There are some Christmas tree-shaped tortilla chips in the free from aisle, but these Sainsbury’s Christmas tree salted tortilla chips are multi-coloured! And, I imagine, cheaper.

Sainsbury’s Free From Crackers

Sainsbury's free from onion and herb crackers.
Sainsbury's free from rosemary and sea salt crackers
Sainsbury's free from crackers.

Crackers and cheese is the highlight of my festive season, so finding three flavours of gluten free crackers was an absolute win!

I can’t wait to stock up on the rosemary and sea salt and the onion and herb crackers for my cheeseboard this Christmas!

Sainsbury’s Turkey Gravy Granules

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!

Sainsbury’s gluten free stuffing balls

Sainsbury's pork sage and onion stuffing balls.
Sainsbury's pork, roast chestnut and thyme stuffing balls.

Sainsbury’s are always great for finding gluten free stuffing and both these stuffing balls are gluten free.

The pork, sage and onion stuffing balls are clearly labelled gluten free and the Sainsbury’s pork, roast chestnut and thyme stuffing balls also don’t contain any gluten.

Sainsbury’s taste the difference truffle pigs in blankets

Sainsbury's taste the difference truffle pigs in blankets.

I love a twist on a classic pigs in blankets recipe and these truffle flavoured ones sound great. They’re not labelled as gluten free but they don’t contain any gluten.

Sainsbury’s taste the difference pork cocktail sausages

Sainsbury's taste the difference pork cocktail sausages.

Finding gluten free cocktail sausages is always hard but these Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference pork cocktail sausages are gluten free.

The normal range contain wheat – so make sure you don’t get the packs muddled up.

Sainsbury’s taste the difference pork sausagemeat

Sainsbury's taste the difference pork sausagemeat.

If you want to make your own gluten free stuffing, this pork sausagemeat would be perfect. Again, it’s not labelled as gluten free bur doesn’t contain any gluten.

Sainsbury’s taste the difference free from stuffing mix

Sainsbury's taste the difference free from stuffing mix.

I absolutely love this Sainsbury’s gluten free stuffing mix – it’s super tasty with red onion and apple. I think they do it year-round but it’d be perfect for Christmas.

Sainsbury’s gluten free mini Christmas cupcakes

Ahh, aren’t these mini Christmas cupcakes cute? These would be great a buffet or a gluten free Christmas party. And kids will love them!

Sainsbury’s gluten free mini mince pies

Sainsbury's free from 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 free from mince pies

Sainsbury's free from iced mince pies.

Of course it wouldn’t be Christmas without gluten free mince pies! Sainsbury’s has brought back both it’s gluten free mince pies and gluten free iced mince pies.

Both packs are gluten and dairy free and also egg free, making them a vegan option too.

Sainsbury’s free from orange and almond mincemeat slices

Sainsbury's free from orange and almond mincemeat slices.

If you can’t get enough of mince pies then these orange and almond mincemeat slices sound absolutely delicious!

They’re made with a shortcrust pastry base, frangipane filling and flaked almonds on top, and packed with orange and mincemeat flavours. They’re also dairy free.

Sainsbury’s iced fruit cake slices

Sainsbury's free from iced fruit cake slices.

Fans of a gluten free Christmas cake will be delighted these icing and marzipan-topped slices are back on the shelves again.

These gluten free Christmas cake slices are also dairy free and I’m sure I’ll be stocking up!

Sainsbury’s free from mini chocolate yule logs

Sainsbury's free from mini chocolate yule logs.

While gluten free yule log fans will have to keep waiting for the full thing, these gluten free mini yule log slices sound yummy.

They’re the perfect treat if you want something festive but aren’t a fan of fruit cake or mincemeat. And they’re dairy free too.

Sainsbury’s turkey and stuffing flavour tortilla curls

Sainsbury's turkey and stuffing flavour tortilla curls.

Tortilla curls are the absolute best when it comes to crisps and I really loved this new turkey and stuffing flavour ones. Plus they’re vegan – go figure!

I don’t know why tortilla chips taste better in curl form but these Sainsbury’s free from tortilla chip rolls are just delicious.

Sainsbury’s Free From Salted Tree Tortilla Chips

Sainsbury's free from light salted Christmas tree tortilla chips.

I’m all for the savoury snacks so these gluten free tortilla chip trees will be a must on my festive party platter!

Crisps and dips is my absolute weakness when it comes to an evening. And when they’re festive themed I just cannot resist!

Sainsbury’s free from millionaire’s cookies

Sainsbury's free from millionaire's cookies.

Erm HELLO brand new gluten free millionaire’s cookies! These gluten free cookies are new this year and they sound absurdly good.

All butter cookies with caramel pieces and Belgian chocolate chunks? Yes please! I can’t wait to try these – though note they’re one of the few products which are not dairy free.

Sainsbury’s free from chocolate hazelnut cookies

Sainsbury's free from chocolate hazelnut cookies.

Ok I am probably equally as excited to try these gluten free chocolate hazelnut cookies from Sainsbury’s as well!

These are gluten free (also not dairy free) with a hazelnut paste, hazelnut pieces and chocolate chunks. Perfect for fans of Nutella!

Free from ginger and chocolate tiffin

Sainsbury's ginger and chocolate tiffin.

I love a festive tiffin and this ginger and chocolate tiffin (which is gluten free and vegan) sounds absolutely delicious.

I’ll definitely be adding this to my shopping trolley next time I head to Sainsbury’s.

Sainsbury’s half coated Viennese fingers

Sainsbury's half coated Viennese fingers.

These half coated Viennese fingers aren’t technically branded in the Christmas range but they seem like they’d be the perfect Christmas treat.

This would be a great alternative for the gluten free person in the house when everyone else is cracking open the fancy tin of biscuits.

Sainsbury’s free from hazelnut flavour truffles

Sainsbury's free from hazelnut flavour truffles.

It’s nice to see some smaller packs of gluten and dairy free chocolates in the Sainsbury’s free from range. These look like they’d be an excellent gluten free stocking filler.

Free From Salted Caramel Chocs

Sainsbury's free from salted caramel chocs.

I like seeing some variation from just plain dairy free chocolates and these vegan salted caramel chocolates sound lovely.

They also come in really nice Taste the Difference packaging so they look less ‘free from’ and more ‘luxury’, which I love!

Schär Spekulatius biscuits

gluten free christmas food sainsburys 2020

These spekulatius biscuits from Schär were a huge hit last year and I’m pleased to see them back again, this time in Sainsbury’s.

Previously they were only in Asda so it’ll be good to see if they pop up anywhere else.

Apparently they’re just like Lotus Biscoff – I really enjoyed them so am looking forward to grabbing some again this year before Christmas ends.

Schär gluten free Lebkuchen

Sainsburys gluten free christmas food schar lebkuchen

THIS IS NOT A DRILL – THE GLUTEN FREE LEBKUCHEN ARE BACK!

My faves Schär have once again made Christmas come early by bringing back these festive classics for a fourth year running.

I think their launch in 2019 was my happiest Christmas yet so I will once again be stocking my ‘gluten free snack box’ with a year’s supply.

Moo Free snowballs

A packet of Moo free snowballs.

It’s nice to see some new gluten free and vegan chocolate options and these Moo Free Snowballs sound great.

The products I found included:

  • Two gluten free vegan Advent calendars
  • Hollowed out chocolate reindeer
  • Cookie dough mini chocolate reindeer
  • Mint chocolate mini reindeer

What’s still to come?

That’s all my finds so far from Sainsbury’s Christmas food – though I am hopeful there will be lots more to come! Some highlights from the 2023 range I hope will return include:

  • Sainsbury’s ‘accidentally gluten free’ Jalapeño Poppers party food
  • Sainsbury’s gluten free Christmas sandwich
  • Frozen turkey breast joints with gluten free stuffing
  • Allll the gluten free pigs in blankets

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.
