As the countdown to Christmas begins, with fewer than 100 days to go, Aldi is set to release its first mince pies of the season this Sunday, September 22. The budget supermarket chain will offer its Holly Lane Deep Filled Mince Pies at just 23p per pie, priced at £1.39 for a pack of six. These festive favourites feature golden shortcrust pastry filled with rich mincemeat and dusted with a light sprinkling of sugar.

For those looking for a sweeter touch, Aldi will also stock Holly Lane Iced Mince Pies, priced at £1.59 for a six-pack. These iced variations feature the same shortcrust pastry and mincemeat but come with a sweet icing topping.

In addition to the budget-friendly options, customers can treat themselves to a more luxurious offering with the Specially Selected All Butter Mince Pies, priced at £2.29 for six. These premium pies include rich mincemeat infused with port and cognac, perfect for those seeking an extra festive flavour.

While some may feel it’s too early to be indulging in Christmas treats, Aldi’s September release of mince pies is aimed at satisfying the cravings of early holiday enthusiasts. The supermarket plans to expand its range in November, offering more variety to cater to every taste.

As holiday products are being launched earlier each year, the question arises: is it ever too early to start celebrating? Either way, bargain hunters are sure to welcome the chance to stock up on these seasonal favourites at such competitive prices.
