Heinz has launched a Christmas Dinner soup complete with turkey, Brussels sprouts and pigs in blankets in a move sure to bring joy to consumers fretting over empty shelves this festive season. The brand’s first cans of Christmas Dinner Big Soup contain “big chunks” of turkey, pigs in blankets, Brussels sprouts, stuffing balls and potatoes, with a gravy and cranberry sauce. Just 500 cans will be produced this year, but Heinz has hinted it could roll the line out in greater numbers next year if it proves a success with shoppers. A survey for Heinz suggests 36% of those who celebrate Christmas prefer the traditional dinner to any other meal. The limited edition tin which was priced at £1.50 sold out within hours of launching on Monday which prompted Heinz to consider bringing it back next year.
