Tesco is doubling down on deluxe for Christmas, unveiling a raft of new Finest foods that span small bites to centrepieces. The retailer’s range for winter 2025 features more than 200 NPD launches in total, but it’s the upgraded Finest offer that takes the limelight.
“Christmas is the ultimate moment of the year for so many of our customers, and at Tesco, we’re here to make every bite count! We know how much our customers cherish the festive season, so we’ve gone all out, adding a whopping 268 new products to our Christmas range,” said Breige Donaghy, Tesco director of product development & innovation.
“From indulgent showstoppers in our Finest collection to clever twists on classic favourites, there’s something for every taste and every budget. Whether you’re planning a lavish Christmas Day feast, stocking up on nostalgic nibbles, or throwing a party where you want to wow without the faff, we’ve got you covered. This year, it’s all about effortless magic and delicious memories.”
For snacking and starters, Tesco is leaning into global flavours with new Scallop & King Prawn Toast and red Char Siu Duck Bao Buns. Grazers can build a tablescape with a ready‑to‑assemble Charcuter‑tree or tear into a Camembert Crown of sourdough doughballs and fig chutney.
Meat eaters can trade up their main meals for Christmas dinner this year with a Finest Chef Collection Beef Wellington or a Rolled Lamb Shoulder with a Citrus & Herb Rub. While new sides include confit‑garlic Maris Piper roasties and maple‑bacon sprouts and pork & caramelised onion pigs in blankets.
The new desserts feature visual drama, from a Festive Berry Panna Cotta Snowflake to a cascading Salted Banoffee Star sponge. Even the mince pies have a twist with rum & raisin filling or chocolate‑gingerbread s’mores.
Products start hitting shelves from 1 September, but if you can’t wait that long, take a peek at some of the new Finest launches below
