Fun Festive Party Food Straight from the Freezer

The New Ice Age Team • December 09, 2011 11:32 AM

It’s that time of year once again, time to deck the halls, hark the herald and hit the shops but with high food prices and an economic squeeze; getting Christmas catering right can be tough for families on a budget.

To help you plan the perfect Christmas without breaking the bank the food team at thenewiceage.com has compiled a great list of frozen Christmas ideas letting you spend time with your guests and leaving you with more money to spend on presents for the kids (or yourself!)

For the perfect Christmas party stock up on frozen goodies that the whole family will love. Balance luxury lobster tails with old favourites like sausage rolls and cocktail sausages and always be prepared with extra in the freezer for impromptu fun with friends and family.

Aldi Filo Prawns make a great fuss free starter that will impress your guests and only set you back £2 for a pack of 16. Serve with Chilli dipping sauce to get the party started.

Farmfoods Potato Bakers Cheese and Onion Filled Potato Halves make a delicious edition to a buffet table and if you have any left overs they’re great for lunch too. A popular party favourite that the whole family can enjoy. Great value and on sale at £1.00 a pack.

Fun Festive Party Food - Lobster Tails

Make a splash with Aldi frozen lobster tails to create a sophisticated starter which will impress the snootiest of in-laws. £11.99 for a pack of two.

For more festive fun at your buffet table, why not try Freshpack’s new Cumberland lattice rolls. Flavoursome sausage rolls with light puff pastry are a hit with the whole family and a steal at £1.50 for a pack of 30 from Morrison’s.

New Haggis Tweets - Tasty Christmas Snack

If you’re eating out this Christmas, look out for Innovate’s brand new Haggis Tweeds - small balls of haggis in a delicious golden crumb. Perfect as a starter or side dish, they are available in Pitcher and Piano pubs across the country. Take a chance to try this famous Scottish dish and maybe like us, you’ll find you love it!
