Heinz has launched a new ‘Christmas Dinner in a can’ ahead of the festive period.

The tinned soup will feature ‘big chunks’ of turkey pigs in blankets, brussels sprouts, stuffing balls and potatoes, with a gravy and cranberry sauce.

In a post about the new soup on the company’s website, Heinz said: “Get ready for a BIG SOUP-er Christmas with our limited edition Christmas Dinner Soup.

“Full-on ingredients. Big-time flavour. This festive limited edition is packed full of big chunks of all your festive feasting favourites: Turkey, stuffing, chunky potatoes, brussels sprouts and even pigs in blankets – for no-nonsense seasonal satisfaction.”

Heinz will produce 500 cans of its Christmas Dinner Big Soup this year, but hinted it could roll out greater numbers next year if it proves a hit with shoppers.

Anke von Hanstein, the brand manager for Heinz Soups, said: “It is made for those with a big love for hearty festive flavours and tastes just perfect with a slice of warm crusty bread. Any soup that includes pigs in blankets and roasties is a winner in our eyes.”
