Festive crisps, looking for recommendations

I've been picking up Xmas food here and there when at the shops and was looking at Aldi's crisp offerings which were a bit uninspiring - turkey and thyme, pigs in blankets. Anyone seen any good ones out there they can recommend? Thanks!

Ooh, this looks tempting, but possibly too good to be true, given their prices elsewhere?

Or they have them in Majestic apparently, as well as farm shops.

Reassuringly @Agoddessonamountaintop it says the packaging is compostible.

Walkers 'Gold' Crisps are in The Food Warehouse/Iceland ....

Tescos pancake duck ones are really nice

Aldi’s crisps are MOSTLY uninspiring.

The honey, chili and Camembert crisps are devine. Sell out really quickly though.

Pringles have got a 'mystery' Christmas flavour!

Maybe I am immature and smutty but no way do I want a taste of 'Santa's Secret Flavour' thank you very much.

You can also buy 12 sharing packs for £30 which is £2.50 each, so in line with other nice crisps.

I wonder if you can buy them in shops so you can just get one bag?

You can! I get them in my garden centre too 🤣 they do single small bags, big bags and tins. My fave ready salted crisps, perfect amount of salt and they are the crunchiest!

Glad to see fans of the tin option; if you’re feeding (snacking) a crowd it’d be handy to have crisps in bulk without having to open (and dispose of) umpteen plastic packets.

Never tried them myself; might bring them to my son’s when we go this Christmas.

I have only eaten them in packets before, but am planning to get a couple of tins for Christmas. Every flavour I have tried has been delicious and they have the perfect level of crunch.

What's the betting on either sprouts or christmas pudding?

We had some mystery ones last year that we think were truffle but it was hard to tell. They were absolutely vile, tasted like the smell of old socks to me and the only Pringles I’ve ever got rid of as nobody wanted them!

I've not opened them yet or looked at the ingredients. Pringles made chocolate crisps about 6 years ago but I will report back at a later date!

Waitrose do Xmas tree shaped roast turkey flavour tortilla chips.

I heard someone reading the ingredients to their mum,sure I heard garlic and paprika get a mention.
I lug in frequently on my rounds in Asda.

Oh man, I've been suckered in by all the praise of these crisps and have bought some from this deal. At that price they are similar to the supermarket own brands. Thanks so much for sharing :)

Not especially Christmas themed but M&S has ham and mustard and beef and mustard flavours at the moment. The beef and mustard are the closest ones to Brannigans beef and mustard (RIP).

MaeshoweDragon · 17/10/2026 14:17

Not themed, but Piper's Wild thyme and rosemary always taste a bit xmas season to us.

MJOverInvestor · 17/10/2026 14:20

I really miss the M&S prosecco and winter berries crisps that were phased out a couple of years ago. I may have been the only person who bought them…

Bjorkdidit · 17/10/2026 14:27

I ate the Walkers Gold sea salt and olive oil crisps yesterday, they were very nice, I'd definitely buy them again.

There's a picture of rosemary on the pack, which definitely comes through as an extra savoury flavour.

Saw loaded crisp platters on saturday kitchen this morning - looked great for parties/christmas using posh crisps. Photo attached

Tesco have limited edition crispy chilli beef out at the minute and they are delicious. In their festive aisle

Not specifically Christmassy, but the Waitrose black truffle crisps are incredibly tasty.

AhBiscuits · 18/10/2026 09:16

Lidl have truffle crisps, also camenbert and hot honey.

Tesco finest has a huge range, like kettle chips but better!

I think the best thing is to do lots of research now as they are released and keep some kind of record of your views on them and then do some double testing to ensure you’re completely sure. No one wants a ruined Christmas Day when pre research could avoid it. I’ll shortly be launching my project for 2026. 😂
