If you’re looking for lots of new Christmas treats to try, Asda certainly has a fabulous haul of free from Christmas products. There are loads of new sweet treats on the shelves, and a few really great options for kids too. As well as festive favourites like Roddy the Reindeer, there’s also some great new additions to the range this year as well. Here are some of the treats I found in Asda…
Asda rhubarb gin and ginger shortbread
That’s right – GIN SHORTBREAD. Asda’s free rom rhubarb gin and ginger shortbread are gluten, wheat and dairy free and an absolute game-changer. So tasty!
Mini gluten free Christmas cupcakes
How cute are these mini Christmas cupcakes in Asda? They’re gluten and what free and I love the cheeky little designs. Tempted to make my own versions but these would be fab for gluten free children.
Asda amaretto, apricot and almond shortbread
Another boozy gluten free treat from Asda. These gluten, wheat and dairy free amaretto, apricot and almond shortbread sound lovely and so festive. Cannot wait to give them a try – found in the Asda seasonal aisle.
Asda’s Roddy the Reindeer Cake
Ok, so Roddy the Reindeer isn’t the newest kid on the block, but just LOOK at how cute he is! This cute reindeer cake in Asda is like Colin the Caterpillar’s festive brother. It’s gluten and dairy free and a great centrepiece for a Christmas party, or to share with children!
Schar gluten free lebkuchen
Oh my word I was SO excited when I found these gluten free lebkuchen by Schar in Asda! I used to absolutely LOVE these pre-coeliac and I am so happy that there is finally a gluten free version!
Schar gluten free spekulatius
Another brand new find in Asda from Schar are these gluten free spekulatius biscuits – I’ve never heard of them before but am intrigued to know what they are like!
Free from champagne truffles
How lovely do these gluten, wheat and dairy free Marc de Champagne truffles look from Asda? There are some lovely dairy free truffle boxes out there this year but these do look extra special!
Gluten and dairy free chocolate candy cane
Wouldn’t this be the coolest gift for kids!? Gluten, dairy and egg free – this is a really cool idea and something a little bit different. Perfect for children at Christmas.
Asda salted caramel shortbread biscuits
How good do these gluten free salted caramel shortbread biscuits look!? I found these in the Asda free from aisle and they just sound divine. I had to resist buying them for now because I’m pretty sure I actually won’t be able to stop eating them once I start.
Asda decorate your own gingerbread man
How cute is this for a gift idea for kids? A gluten, egg and dairy free gingerbread man that you can decorate yourself! Such a lovely kit and a great activity for the Christmas holidays from Asda.
Asda gluten free mince pies
The Asda gluten free mince pies are another classic you can just sling into your trolley during the weekly shop. They’re deep filled with a buttery pastry and a dusting of crunchy sugar. They remind me a little bit of the Mr Kipling-type pies. They also do a gluten free mince pie which is iced as well.
Asda gluten free Christmas cake
This Asda Extra Special gluten and dairy free Christmas cake does look very beautiful – I think this would be great with a cuppa and some friends around on a cosy, winter’s day!
Asda free from cranberry and orange tiffin
This gluten free and vegan tiffin sounds absolutely lovely! Cranberry chunks and orange flavour the dark chocolate, and it’s also dairy free and egg free.
Schar gluten free Jaffa Cakes
I have absolutely no idea what is so festive about the gluten free Jaffa Cakes from Schar, other than the packaging! However, if you love Christmas and you love Jaffa Cakes, then go crazy! I picked these up in the Asda free from aisle.
Asda
Wow, there is loads of choice when it comes to Asda’s pigs in blankets. You can grab them in the chilled aisle, as well as a chipolata version, plus the frozen aisle too. And all gluten free!

This Asda Christmas trimmings selection is gluten free and includes pigs in blankets and stuffing balls. Found in the frozen aisle with the other seasonal food.

These little cocktail sausages come in both a normal version and a caramelised red onion variety. Found in the chilled aisle, and they’re both gluten free.
Asda turkey gravy
The ready-made turkey gravy in the chilled aisle in Asda is gluten free, hurrah!
Asda pig in blanket
What’s better than pigs in blankets? Why, one GIANT pig in blanket of course! Found in the frozen aisle.
Asda Festive Christmas cracker
This Christmas cracker in the frozen aisle would make an amazing centrepiece – it’s a great stuffing alternative too. In the frozen aisle.
Asda British turkey and duck joint
This turkey and duck joint comes with a pork, port and cranberry stuffing and would be an amazing option for an easy and tasty roast. Found in the frozen aisle.

Asda’s Amaretto Almond and Apricot biscuits are not good, gritty texture, overly crunchy and little hard bits Ughh! The Speculatius biscuits are also not very nice. Alright I suppose if you are desperate, but there are far far better ones on sale in Germany. As a Christmas biscuit baker , I know Asda could have done better. Havent tried any other products from their Christmas range.
This is really helpful, but prices and presence of things like oats would be even more useful. thanks.
