Iceland has launched a Christmas Dinner in a box designed to feed four people, priced at £30, which works out at £7.50 per portion. The product aims to offer a budget-friendly alternative for families during the festive season.
What's Inside the Box
The box contains a Turkey Breast Joint, Ridiculously Crispy Roast Potatoes, Honey Glazed Parsnips, Sprouts & Bacon with Butter, 16 Pork, Onion & Sage Stuffing Balls, Honey Glazed Chunky Carrots, 12 Pigs in Blankets, and Luxury Turkey Gravy. Each box can be cooked from frozen, providing convenience without compromising on flavour.
An Iceland spokesperson said: "Designed with busy families in mind, it makes serving up an impressive festive feast both simple and affordable. We're thrilled to help take the stress out of Christmas dinner, giving people more time to enjoy the moments that matter most with family and friends."
Affordable Alternative to Expensive Turkeys
With some supermarkets charging more than £90 for turkey crowns this year, the box offers a cost-effective option. Iceland also offers a roast beef box, a chicken dinner box, and a gammon dinner for those who prefer alternatives.
Taste Test Results
A taste test found the turkey moist, the roast potatoes decent, and the carrots and parsnips delicious. The only disappointment was the gravy, which was described as extremely bland. The reviewer suggested making gravy from scratch for Christmas Day but noted the box is ideal for gatherings like 'friendmas' or for those struggling to make ends meet at Christmas.
