Christmas lunch is coming to a Meal Deal near you, as Tesco unveils its 2026 festive line-up, brimming with seasonal favourites, indulgent twists and plenty of choice, all at great value for shoppers.
The range brings together sandwiches, wraps, salads, snacks and drinks, giving customers plenty of ways to mix-and-match their Meal Deal, and enjoy the comforting flavours of Christmas without waiting for the big day.
Leading the line-up is the NEW Tesco Fully Loaded Chicken, Stuffing, Braised Red Cabbage & Cranberry Sauce Sandwich, delivering the best bits of Christmas dinner together in one hearty, flavour-packed bite. It’s loaded with tender chicken, smoky bacon, rich rosemary gravy, sage and onion stuffing and a vibrant layer of red cabbage for a warming festive feast in sandwich form.
For something a little different, the NEW Tesco Finest Turkey Pastrami Panettone Style Roll combines slices of turkey pastrami with Emmental cheese and tangy pickled red slaw, all tucked inside a soft, glazed panettone style roll for a sweet and savoury deli inspired bite.
Inspired by three of the season’s most loved food moments, the NEW Tesco Christmas Triple Sandwich combines the classic Christmas lunch with chicken, stuffing and cranberry sauce; a cheeseboard inspired slice of Red Leicester cheese and chutney; and a Boxing Day buffet pork pie style filling, offering a different taste of Christmas in every bite.
For an alternative main option, the NEW Tesco Chicken, Brie, Bacon & Cranberry Caesar Salad, features succulent chicken, creamy Brie, smoky bacon and sweet cranberry for a fresh yet seasonal take on a classic.
New lunchtime sides this year, include the NEW Tesco Pretzels with Salted Caramel Dip, and the NEW Tesco Cinnamon Bun Overnight Oats, which combines overnight oats made with warming cinnamon, creamy Greek-style yogurt and a smooth soft cheese frosting for a pudding inspired breakfast or snack.
