If you're looking for gluten and dairy free Christmas food in Sainsbury's then you're in for an absolute festive treat.

And there are so many new products launching I've already started updating this guide for Christmas 2021.

A good handful of the Sainsbury's gluten free Christmas foods actually came out in August this year - the first supermarket to launch.

Sainsbury's has a great free from range with a mixture of free from and Taste the Difference products in its Christmas line-up.

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 gluten free Sainsbury's Christmas products have been updated for 2021...

Turkey breast joint with stuffing

sainsburys gluten free christmas turkey with stuffing

I love an accidentally gluten free find and this turkey breast joint with pork stuffing has no gluten and no 'may contain' warnings.

I found it in the frozen aisle and could be a good one to stock up on if you want to get organised.

Sainsbury's Nacho Cheese Triangles

gluten free party food sainsburys 1

Nothing is as exciting to me as gluten free party food so I was VERY happy to find these gluten free nacho cheese triangles in the frozen party food section.

I'm hoping this is a sign of good things to come as more party food starts to appear.

Taste the Difference Free From Chocolate and Cherry Tarts

sainsburys Taste the Difference Free From Chocolate and Cherry Tarts

I think these new gluten and dairy free chocolate and cherry tarts might become my favourite Christmas product ever.

I love finding free from treats which are brand new and these sound fantastic.

With dark chocolate and cherry liqueur, these are a proper grown-up treat and would be a great after dinner mini dessert!

Free From Caramel Apple Crumble Slices

sainsburys gluten free christmas food 2021 13

I'm loving the apple-themed products in the Sainsbury's free from range and to be honest these sound great for autumn.

I love apple crumble, and I love caramel, so bunging them in one cake slice is the dream.

These are gluten and dairy free and honestly I cannot wait to try them.

Free From Mini Christmas Millionaire Cupcakes

gluten free sainsburys christmas food 2021

I love a themed mini cupcake and these Free From Christmas Millionaire Cupcakes from Sainsbury's look right up my street!

They'd look fantastic on a part platter with a mixture of caramel and chocolate frosting.

They're gluten free and I'll definitely be stocking up on these bite-sized treats!

Free From Mince Pie Chocolate Brownie Slices

gluten free sainsburys christmas food 2021

I know I'm not the biggest brownie champion but I do love a themed brownie when it's done well!

I actually have a recipe for gluten free mince pie brownies in my Christmas ebook so I can't wait to see how these compare.

They're gluten free and milk free and look like they'd be great warm served with custard or brandy cream.

NOMO Reindeer

nomo vegan gluten free chocolate reindeer

Ok HOW cute are these new vegan reindeer from NOMO, filled with gluten, dairy and egg free cookie dough!?

I bought these to try and found them *very* sweet but a good addition for those who want some different chocolate treats.

Plus it's nice to see something with cookie dough in that is gluten free and vegan!

Taste the Difference Free From Apple Crumble Cookies

Sainsburys gluten free christmas food apple crumble cookies

Erm ok I already know without even opening these that I will eat about 3,000 boxes before Christmas.

I love anything apple but the idea of these lightly spiced cookies with apple pieces just sounds like heaven.

I'm gonna go as far as to say watch this space because I may even try and make my own!

Taste the Difference Free From Chocolate & Clementine Shortbread

Sainsburys gluten free christmas food chocolate and clementine shortbread

I feel like chocolate orange is going to be big news this Christmas and it all starts with these tasty sounding shortbreads!

Gluten free shortbread is a must at Christmas and these sound lovely.

Orange flavoured shortbread with Belgian chocolate chips - where could you go wrong!?

NOMO Caramel Filled Choc Drops

new gluten free finds october 2020

NOMO is definitely one of my favourite dairy free chocolate brands and these vegan and gluten free treats look divine.

Dairy free chocolate drops filled with caramel - sounds like the ultimate treat to me.

I think these might be part of the Christmas range but either way, you can find them in Sainsbury's free from aisle.

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.

Last year 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 third 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.

The below gluten free Sainsbury's Christmas products have been updated for 2020...

Sainsbury's gluten free chocolate orange cookies and cream

gluten free christmas food sainsburys 2020

The gluten free world went nuts when Tesco introduced chocolate orange cookies and cream to their Christmas line-up last year.

And after making them a permanent fixture, it seems Sainsbury's has followed suit.

The new Oreo-style chocolate orange cookies appear to be part of their Christmas range for 2020.

Sainsbury's gluten free mini mince pies

gluten free christmas food sainsburys 2020

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

This is another new product in their festive free from range and I absolutely 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 gammon and honey tortilla curls

gluten free christmas food sainsburys 20201

This was actually the first Christmas food I bought in 2020 and I'm so pleased about my choice!

These gluten and milk free tortilla curls are amazing and perfect for any Christmas party platter!

Lightly salted Christmas tree tortilla chips

gluten free christmas food sainsburys 2020

Another festive crisp choice here and one which I'll definitely have to stock up on.

It's all about the savoury treats for me and crisps and dip is my weakness - these sound perfect for Christmas gatherings!

Gluten free Christmas cake bites

gluten free christmas food sainsburys 2020

I do love Christmas cake but sometimes it's a bit too much for me.

Which is why these gluten free Christmas cake bites are perfect!

Just the right amount of festive cheeriness in each bite - and perfect for Christmas nibbles.

White Rabbit The Vegan Festive Feast pizza

gluten free christmas food sainsburys 2020

White Rabbit do hands down the BEST gluten free pizzas out there in UK supermarkets.

So I was very excited to spot this brand new festive vegan addition to their range in Sainsbury's!

With vegan turkey, vegan cheese, winter veg, pumpkin puree and cranberries this gluten free pizza sounds right up my street.

Moo Free Original Santa and White Snowman chocs

new gluten free finds october 2020 4
new gluten free finds october 2020 4

I love seeing individual Christmas treats like these which would be perfect for children with allergies or coeliac disease!

These vegan, dairy free and gluten free chocolates look like a lovely stocking filler or festive treat.

I found them in the free from aisle in Sainsbury's and I love the funky new Moo Free rebrand as well!

The below product listings have been updated for 2019…

Sainsbury's free from choc, cherry & amaretto cookies

new gluten free products september october 2019

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

gluten free new products september 2019 5

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

GLUTEN FREE CHRISTMAS FOOD

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

gluten free christmas food sainsburys 20201

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

gluten free new finds 2019

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

gluten free new finds 2019

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

gluten free christmas food sainsburys

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

sainsburys gluten free christmas food

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

sainsburys gluten free christmas food

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

sainsburys 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

gluten free sainsburys christmas 5

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

gluten free sainsburys christmas

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

gluten free sainsburys christmas

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

sainsburys gluten free christmas party food

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

sainsburys gluten free christmas party food 2

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

sainsburys gluten free christmas party food 2

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

gluten free christmas food sainsburys 2

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

gluten free christmas food sainsburys 5

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

gluten free christmas food sainsburys 4

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!

    I was in Aldi today and not only did they have a brand new gluten free section next to the freezers, but they also had gluten free mince pies and christmas pudding! I'd recommend you check it out - some great new brands and old favourites amongst the selection. Hope it's here long term

    […] There are probably loads more gluten free options in larger stores, but this outlines what I have found in little ol’ Barnstaple. If you want to follow my Free From Christmas series, you can also see some lists of what I’ve found in Tesco and Sainsburys. […]
