Christmas Is Coming With The Co-op, Week 1 - Mince Pies!

- collaborative post -

The time has arrived... we are just over 6 weeks away from Christmas! And that means it's time to start preparing for the festive season. It also means there's a lot of yummy food on the shelves!

Like last year, I've joined up with the Co-op to tell you about the festive treats you can find in store in the run up to Christmas, so each week I'll tell you about one of my favourite products and hopefully give you a little bit of inspiration in the process.

This is week 1 and where else could I start but with mince pies. I don't know about you but for me the first mince pie I eat is the start of the holidays, more so than Christmas music or decorations.

There's a few options available instore but I couldn't resist these Co-op Irresistble All Butter Pastry Luxury Mince Pies, and I can confirm that they taste as good as they look! There were a couple of raised eyebrows last night when I sat down on the sofa with one in my hand, but it was far too yummy for me to care and I wasn't the only one munching away for long!

If mince pies aren't your thing, or if you're just not ready to start eating the festive food this early, why not take a look at the local gifting range in your nearest store and get a head start on your Christmas present shopping? I know I'll be picking up a couple of them for family in the next couple of weeks.

Let me know what you think: Is it too early to be eating mince pies? Do you even like them? When do you decorate? Whatever it is just drop me a comment down below!

Stay warm,x
