Gathering family and friends around a table during the festive season can really make it feel like the most wonderful time of the year. But, you know what isn’t such a vibe? Splurging on fancy ingredients, spending hours slaving away in the kitchen, and then having loads of washing up to do at the end. No thanks.
Christmas time is packed with enough to-dos already, so take the stress out of some of the prep and stock up the fridge with some tasty party favourites. Think that’s going to be too pricey? Well, don’t stress, as we’ve found some great deals on party foods that will save you money, without compromising on taste.
Whether you need a stand-out starter for Christmas Day, a few picky bits for a festive gathering, or some top tier dishes for your NYE spread, Asda is offering 3 for 2 on their Extra Special party food, helping to make the party season cheaper, easier and even more, well, Extra Special.
Sit back and dig into elevated versions of your OG party favourites, like Tempura Tiger Prawns and Mushroom and Truffle Arancini. Watch on smugly as your guests enjoy a selection of King Prawn and Lobster Vol au Vents, Camembert and Cranberry Profiteroles, or what about a Miso and Yuzu Pulled Pork Bao Bun. Why not, right? It’s Christmas.
But it doesn’t stop there. The Extra Special range is serving up absolute fire, we’re talking Extra Special Duck Croquettes, Chicken Tikka Samosas, Venison Lollipops, and even a Hog Roast Yule Log. So many options to choose from, offering Extra Special luxury without burning a hole in your wallet.
And, you know what else is great about buffets? Mini foods! These bite-sized versions of your favourite party snacks are not only totally adorable, they also allow you to sample lots of different things at once. At Asda, they’ve got a mini pie selection filled with British Beef and Ale or Chicken and Smoked Bacon, Mini Salmon and Wyke Farm cheddar melt-in-the-middle fishcakes, and even Mini Cottage Pies. I don’t know about you, but I’m hungry already.
