As the holiday season approaches, the air is filled with the scent of pine, carols, and the anticipation of festive treats that bring comfort and joy to our taste buds.

One of Australia's leading supermarkets has once again captured the essence of Christmas with a delightful new offering that's sure to become a seasonal favourite.

Introducing the Coles Finest Milk Chocolate Fruit Mince Pie Block, a confectionery masterpiece that marries the traditional flavours of a classic Christmas dessert with the decadent indulgence of Belgian milk chocolate.

This innovative treat is a testament to Coles' commitment to bringing a touch of luxury to our holiday celebrations without breaking the bank.

The Finest Milk Chocolate Fruit Mince Pie Block is a symphony of flavours featuring creamy Belgian milk chocolate infused with the nostalgic taste of candied orange pieces, cinnamon, and clove.

It's like biting into a mince pie but with the added decadence of smooth chocolate melting in your mouth.

It's a fusion that even Willy Wonka would envy, blending the comfort of home-baked goods with the sophistication of fine chocolate.

To ensure authenticity and the perfect balance of flavours, Coles went the extra mile by sending their Finest Fruit Mince Pies to Belgium.

There, expert chocolatiers could taste and encapsulate the exact Christmas flavours that Aussies cherish.

The result is a seasonal snack that's both familiar and novel, a true celebration of the holiday spirit in every bite.

Released nationwide just yesterday, the Coles Finest Milk Chocolate Fruit Mince Pie Block has already started disappearing from shelves as eager customers seek to satisfy their holiday cravings.

But the festive offerings don't stop there. Coles is also bringing back their beloved Single Smoked Beechwood Half-Leg Ham, a silver medalist at this year's Melbourne Royal Australian Food Awards.

Praised for its beechwood smoke flavour and sweet pork taste, this ham remains affordable at $8.00 per kg, just as it was last year.

Coles Own Brand Development Chef Michael Weldon assures us that this 100 per cent Australian and sow stall-free ham is a classic Christmas Day staple and a treat to be enjoyed in the lead-up to the holiday.

Coles' Brand range this year is a testament to their dedication to offering delicious and easy-to-prepare products that make Christmas special for every family, regardless of budget or celebration style.

From the luxurious Chocolate Fruit Mince Pie Block to the award-winning beechwood smoked ham, Coles ensures that the season's joy can be found in every meal and morsel.

I used to have some wonderful treats/staples at Christmas when I lived in Perth with my ex husband and children. I had a huge bowl that I would fill with mixed nuts still in their shells, we loved that, everytime we walked past them we would crack a few to eat. And I loved getting the Advent calenders, one for each child and one for mum so I could do it with them, plus enjoy the chocolate lol.
Not a food treat but the kids and my friends loved it, on the 1st of December I would start wearing my Christmas earrings and have a different pair for each day until the 25th.
But now it's just my partner and myself the only treat I really get is the Christmas bikkies in a tin, they are delicious, it's the only time of year I buy them so they are a real treat.

I like the Christmas earring idea. I wear a different Christmas tee shirt every day from 1st December. They start of very subtle but in the last week become much more fun lol

All confectionery has gone up to ridiculous prices, even on special they're back to their original prices pre Covid.
It's a real treat for us to buy a choccie bar each at shopping.

Coles has released a brand new treat that’s sure to be your next obsession!

I am obsessed as a Jew is with the culture of the Fourth Reich.

Sounds like something you would feed to your neighbour's barking dog!

The only treat that I must have on Christmas day is my traditional Plumb pudding and cream...can't go past it after having a loaded up Christmas Roast dinner of Pork, Chicken, Spuds, Carrot, Pumpkin and Peas, smothered in pan gravy with all of the roast meat juices. C'mon Christmas Day.
