Aldi has unveiled two major Christmas launches set to delight festive shoppers this season.
The supermarket’s beloved Cuthbert cake has received a yuletide makeover, complete with a Santa hat and festive bow tie, priced at £6.49.
To mark the occasion, Aldi has assembled a special Christmas choir performing seasonal classics in Cuthbert’s honour.
Meanwhile, the retailer is helping customers create luxury Christmas hampers on a budget with its expanded Specially Selected range, featuring premium products starting from just £1.15.

The new offerings include everything from giant Florentines to seasonal chutneys, allowing shoppers to build their own high-end hampers at affordable prices.
The festive Cuthbert cake features a soft Swiss roll sponge filled with velvety smooth chocolate buttercream.
The family favourite, which has been crowned as one of Aldi’s most highly rated products, now sports a Santa hat and festive green bow tie, adorned with tasty star decorations.
To celebrate the launch, Aldi organised a special ‘Merry Cuthmas’ choir performing festive classics including ‘Hark the Herald’ and ‘Joy to the World’, whilst collecting donations for Teenage Cancer Trust. The Christmas Cuthbert is available in stores now.
