Fairfields Farm has confirmed its Honey Roasted Chestnut & Sage crisp is coming back for Christmas 2026, and it is as good an excuse as any to round up the rest of the festive crisp flavours actually worth seeking out this year. Between chestnut and sage, pigs in blankets, Christmas pudding and turkey and stuffing, UK supermarkets go all in on Christmas dinner flavoured crisps every single year, and this year is no exception.
Below is what is confirmed and currently available, not a guess at what might turn up between now and December. We will keep this updated as more retailers confirm their own festive lineups closer to the day.

Fairfields Farm Honey Roasted Chestnut & Sage
This is the one making the news this year. Fairfields Farm, the Essex based hand cooked crisp brand, has confirmed the return of its Honey Roasted Chestnut & Sage flavour for Christmas 2026, in 150g sharing bags. It first appeared in 2025 and, according to Fairfields Farm co-founder Robert Strathern, “quickly became a customer favourite, offering the perfect balance of sweet and savoury flavours.”
It is worth calling out specifically for anyone catering to vegan or gluten free guests over Christmas, since it is both. That is not always easy to find in a festive flavour, where a lot of supermarket own label options lean on dairy heavy seasonings like stuffing or cheese blends.
You can currently find it via Fairfields Farm’s own site as a 10x150g limited edition case, and the brand’s wider range, including other Fairfields Farm crisps, is stocked on Amazon, though this specific festive flavour’s own Amazon listing may take a little while to appear given how recently the return was announced.
Pigs in blankets crisps
If there is one flavour every UK supermarket seems to do its own version of every December, it is pigs in blankets. This year it is confirmed across a genuinely wide spread of retailers and brands:
- Aldi Specially Selected Pigs in Blankets hand cooked crisps
- Co-op Irresistible hand cooked pigs in blankets crisps
- Walkers Pigs in Blankets crisps, in the usual 5 pack format
- Pringles Pigs in Blankets sharing tubes
- Tesco Finest Crinkle Cut Pigs in Blankets
- Burts Maple Pigs in Blankets, a gluten free, hydrogenated fat free multipack option
- Mackie’s Pigs in Blankets, from the Scottish crisp maker
With that many brands doing their own take, it is genuinely one of the few Christmas flavours where you can do a proper side by side comparison across supermarket own brand, a big name like Walkers or Pringles, and a smaller hand cooked maker like Burts or Mackie’s, all built around the same core idea.
Walkers Christmas Pudding crisps
A longer running seasonal fixture rather than a new launch, Walkers Christmas Pudding crisps come in the standard 5 pack format and remain one of the more divisive flavours on this list. It leans sweet rather than savoury, closer to a dessert flavoured crisp than a Christmas dinner one, so it tends to be a love it or hate it pick rather than a crowd pleaser.
Mackie’s (Taylors) of Scotland Turkey & Stuffing
Mackie’s, sold under the Taylors name in some listings, does a Turkey & Stuffing flavour crisp in 150g bags that leans much closer to an actual Christmas dinner plate than the sweeter options on this list. It is currently listed at Iceland and through independent stockists on Amazon, and tends to be a good pick if you want the Christmas dinner flavour experience without the sweetness of pigs in blankets or Christmas pudding.
How to build a proper Christmas crisp spread
If you are putting together a snack table rather than picking just one bag, the flavours above naturally split into two camps: sweeter, dessert leaning options like Christmas Pudding, and savoury, dinner plate flavours like Turkey & Stuffing, Pigs in Blankets and Fairfields Farm’s chestnut and sage. A good spread covers both camps rather than doubling up on one, and buying multipacks rather than single bags works out both cheaper and easier to serve if you have got more than a couple of people coming round.

The bottom line
Fairfields Farm’s Honey Roasted Chestnut & Sage is the genuine news story this Christmas, and it is a rare festive flavour that is both vegan and gluten free.
