If you’re looking for Sainsbury’s gluten free Christmas food range then you have come to the right place! Now updated for 2024, I’ve got a look at the new gluten free Christmas food in Sainsbury’s – including lots of dairy free treats. So what’s new in Sainsbury’s Christmas food for the free from world? Let’s take a look…
Sainsbury’s always seems to be the first supermarket to launch its gluten and dairy free Christmas foods and this year has been no exception.
Sainsbury’s always has a great free from range with a mixture of free from and Taste the Difference products in its Christmas line-up.
While we’re still waiting for the full free from Christmas line to launch, Sainsbury’s free from range already has some delicious festive treats.
The entire range has had a bit of a rebrand this year and as well as festive favourites like gluten free mince pies and Christmas puddings, there are some new bits too.
Sainsbury’s 2024 Gluten Free Christmas Foods:
Here are all of the 2024 Sainsbury’s free from Christmas goodies I have found so far. Keep checking back as I’ll update this with the newest products I find at top!
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!
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.
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!
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
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
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 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
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
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
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
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
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 Gluten Free Christmas Puddings
There’s some choice when it comes to the gluten free Christmas puddings in Sainsbury’s this year.
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 looks like it won silver in the Free From Food Awards too.
Sainsbury’s free from 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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 gluten free chocolate orange cookies and cream
The gluten free world went nuts when Tesco introduced chocolate orange cookies and cream to their Christmas line-up a few years ago.
And after making them a permanent fixture, it seems Sainsbury’s has followed suit.
The new Oreo-style chocolate orange cookies arrived in 2020 and are back for the fourth year in a row. And they’re so delicious!
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 chocolate gingerbread people
Well these gluten free gingerbread people 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 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
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!
Sainsbury’s Free From Frozen Party Food
These actually launched in 2023 as part of the year-round frozen free from range but I’m sharing them here as they’d be perfect gluten free Christmas party food.
The Mac and Cheese Balls sound INCREDIBLE, and of course I’m very happy to have gluten free Mozzarella Sticks back on the table.
And finally these new Tomato and Mozzarella Arancini Balls sound lovely too. It’s just a shame Sainsbury’s made its ‘accidentally gluten free’ party food now contain wheat.
Schär Spekulatius biscuits
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
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.
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!
They are perfect for the Boxing Day fridge raid and honestly it’s just nice seeing some savoury gluten free Christmas treats.
Moo Free snowballs
It’s nice to see some new gluten free and vegan chocolate options and these Moo Free Snowballs sound great.
White chocolate crunchy snow balls – these are gluten free, vegan and soy free.
NOMO gluten free vegan Christmas chocolates
Vegan chocolate brand NOMO has a whole range of gluten and dairy free Christmas goodies out in Sainsbury’s that all 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.

Those Salted Toffee Shortbread are amazing! So tasty and moreish!
