Making dinner special for any get-together, especially the holidays, can be expensive.
So, we’re here to share a way to keep costs down for your festivities while also sticking to quality.
Coles and Liquorland have just released their Christmas specials that boast a range of new products catering to every budget, including a bottle of amazing Hidden Gem semillon sauvignon blanc for only $4!
The supermarket giant has curated their Christmas range with 349 products—including new and existing items—that will stretch each shopper’s dollars further during the festive season.
A recent Coles survey showed that more than 60 per cent of their shoppers named spending quality time with family and friends their favourite part of Christmas. Twenty per cent said they would be making more food at home.
Coles CEO Leah Weckert said that their goal is that Coles’ Christmas specials—which include favourites including store brand single smoked Beechwood ham, prosciutto-wrapped chicken breast, French tartlets and Black Forest Christmas tree cake—could be afforded by everyone, no matter their financial situation.
'We know it’s been a difficult year for Aussies who are continuing to feel the pinch of cost-of-living pressures,' Ms Weckert said.
'Which is why this year’s range caters to a number of different price points to help our customers celebrate Christmas, no matter their budget or festive plans.'
Famous chef and Coles ambassador Curtis Stone also joined the conversation and shared that his household will feast on Christmas roast pork, glazed ham, and turkey.
‘Mum always cooks roast pork with crackling and it’s not super traditional. But we’ve got a pretty big family, so we end up having the ham as well as the roast pork. And we have turkey sometimes too … but I make a beautiful orange glazed ham recipe that I really love,' Stone said.
'We have elements of tradition in our Christmas, but we’re still probably a bit more on the modern Aussie side, you know, that ends up in a game of backyard cricket on Christmas Day.'
The chef also expressed his love for fresh tiger prawns, naming it his go-to festive food item.
'My favourite thing at Christmas is fresh tiger prawns, which can be prepared so many different ways—grilled on the barbie, on a seafood platter with a little dipping sauce or even tossed through a salad perfect for a hot summer day,' he said.
When it comes to the perfect drink pairings this season, Coles Liquor General Manager Customer Mia Lloyd said that choosing the right bottle was easier than ever.
'With 150 new products in our range, we truly have a treasure trove of high-quality drops that are great value for customers, including some of my favourites — our award-winning Hidden Gem Semillon sauvignon blanc, which is an unbelievable $4 a bottle, James Busby Vineyard Series McLaren Vale Grenache which recently won a Double Gold at the Melbourne International Wine, Beer and Spirits competition at $40 and Canard-Duchêne NV Brut Champagne from $70,' Lloyd said.
