If you want the giant pig in a blanket without the Yorkshire pudding, then Iceland also offers a Pig in Blanket Pinwheel.

Alongside this, you can also get your hands on eight Ultimate XL Pigs in Blankets, the standard 12 Pigs in Blankets, and 12 Hunter's Pigs in Blankets.

But now we've covered the pigs in blankets aspect of your lunch, what if you wanted to do something a bit unconventional?

Well, Heinz has recently unveiled Pigs in Blankets flavoured Baked Beans.

The new Heinz Beanz Pigs in Blankets flavour quickly became a talking point after a Reddit user posted a photo in the r/CasualUK forum, captioned: “We’ve reached peak Britishness.” Reactions flooded in, ranging from curious to downright skeptical.

“Heinz were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, that they didn’t stop to think if they should,” one user joked.

Another added: “Irrefutable proof that God cares not for his children.”

One commenter, referencing the listed “Christmas Seasoning” ingredient, quipped: “Is ‘Christmas Seasoning’ pine needles and bits of tinsel?”

Despite the banter, not all feedback was negative. Some commenters expressed genuine excitement to try the new flavour.

“Honestly, I’m tempted,” one person admitted, while another asked: “Where can I get this?” A fan of Heinz’s creative flavors added: “Their curry versions of beans are actually pretty decent so I’d be tempted to taste this.”

The tins, which are listed at £2.50 for a 400g can on the Heinz website, are available in supermarkets now as a limited edition, though Heinz has not specified how long they will be in stock.

In a festive note, Heinz described the product as a gift from Santa himself: “Need proof that Santa got your wish list? Well here it is! Beanz, pigs in blankets, and Christmas seasoning all in one can. No need to wait for the big day. Crack them open for a taste of Christmas on your toast.”

There certainly won't be a shortage of Pigs in Blankets this Christmas.
