SUPERMARKET giant Coles has just unveiled its biggest Christmas product range ever and if you’re looking to add something to your table that’s innovative, fun or makes the classics look plain boring, they’ve got you covered.

We’ve narrowed down their massive menu of 150 items to our top five festive choices.

Ham with crispy crackling Roast pork with crackling and glazed ham are so last yuletide season. Coles’ range will include a traditional ham topped with crispy crackling and while we have absolutely no idea how you make ham crackling, they had us at crispy.

Lime and chilli-infused prawns These come courtesy of some inspiration by celebrity chef and Coles spokesman Curtis Stone, so you can tell your guests Curtis helped you plan your menu for the big day. All you or your guests will need to do is peel them when they become available two weeks before Christmas.

Sweet treats We like the sound of a Christmas pudding-flavoured ice-cream and a toffee apple wreath pudding, but if you love Coles’ gingerbread ice-cream and butterscotch and gingerbread pudding, they’ll be making a comeback. Be sure to grab a Gerry the Gingerbread cookie, with 20 cents from each sale going to Redkite. A new range of Redkite Christmas products, including a Belgian choc pop, will also be launched.

Not surprisingly, Coles’ Christmas products won’t be available until later this year.

In the meantime, enjoy a fruit mince pie.
