Christmas is just around the corner, and at Kerry’s, we’re already getting into the festive season.
We’re firm believers that it’s never too soon to start celebrating, and since it’s the season of giving, we thought we’d share with you our five favourites from the Kerry’s Christmas shop, to help you have a very Kerry’s Christmas.
Christmas Trees From Kerry’s
Nothing says Christmas quite like a beautifully decorated Christmas tree. Whether you opt for twinkly fairy lights or generous amounts on tinsel in festive reds and golds to drape around the branches, and top your tree with either a star or an angel; you’ll want to ensure your tree is a showstopper that’s admired by the whole family.
The great debate however, is this: real or fake. Personally, we prefer our Christmas trees real; and we’ve got a great selection of 6ft Scottish Nordmann fir trees in stock.
Still not gotten your Christmas tree sorted? We can deliver straight to your door – much easier than trying to take one home yourself!
You can shop our Christmas trees here – and don’t forget to send us some pictures once you’ve decorated yours.
Mince Pies
Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas without overdoing it on the mince pies! Our personal favourites are delivered fresh from the brilliant Hambleton Bakery, located just down the road from us in Leicestershire.
Made from the lightest puff pastry, and filled with delicious festive fruit and spices, it’s the perfect pick-me-up on a cold winter’s day.
Make sure you order yourself a batch of mince pies in time for Christmas. Now, the only question is: will you have yours with cream, brandy butter, or by itself to enjoy the flavours fully?
Christmas Cheeses
Who doesn’t love a classic cheeseboard? Having a selection of cheese and crackers is ideal over the festive period, as it’s easy to prepare and you know everyone will like it.
The best cheeseboards are the ones with a range of flavours. We can’t get enough of this caramelised onion and Rioja cheddar, from our friends at the Cheshire Cheese company. The sweet taste of the onion is perfectly balanced against the tartness of the Rioja, and it goes really well with crackers and grapes.
Alternatively, rather than buying individual blocks of cheese, you could try the Nantwich Cheese Company’s cheese selection wheel. 8 different slices are in a pack, with everyone sure to find a favourite.

Tasty Jams & Preserves
Jams and preserves are another incredibly useful thing to have in the cupboard over Christmas. Didn’t have chance to make your own this year? Don’t worry – we’ve already found the best ones in the country, at Julia’s, in Ashby-de-la-Zouch.
Opt for classic strawberry or raspberry jam; or try something a little different, like beetroot and apple chutney, which goes great with a cheeseboard.
Jams and preservatives are a great Christmas-gift idea, because they’re long lasting and can be used for much more than just on toast!
Shop the range we have in stock, and see what takes your fancy.
Kerry’s Christmas Boxes
For ultimate preparation, why not try one of our Christmas boxes? For our standard Christmas box, we’ve personally chosen a selection of seasonal vegetables that will perfectly compliment your Christmas centrepiece: whether that’s turkey, goose, beef – or even a nut roast.
Alternatively, our large Christmas box contains the same selection of vegetables, in addition to a festive Christmas hamper, featuring bread, cheese, meat and wine – perfect for feasting on during Christmas and New Year!
Having our Christmas box delivered straight to your door is much more convenient than doing a food shop at your local supermarket.
Christmas is a time to relax and indulge, and what better way to do so, than by spending time with the ones you love, enjoying delicious dishes made from only the best ingredients? From everyone at Kerry’s, we wish you a merry Christmas, and a great 2018.
