Christmas wouldn’t be complete without chocolate, and the UK’s supermarkets are making sure shoppers have plenty of indulgent options this year. Aldi, Tesco and Lidl have all unveiled their 2026 Christmas ranges, packed with new chocolate desserts, festive bakes and boozy treats. From giant chocolate coins to molten puddings and profiterole bowls, here are the chocolate highlights worth adding to your festive shopping list.

Aldi’s Christmas Chocolate Treats

Aldi, which was recently named Christmas Retailer of the Year at the Quality Food Awards, has brought back one of last year’s most talked-about desserts and added a new bite-sized version.

Specially Selected Ultimate Belgian Chocolate Gold Coin

Rare Cadbury chocolate back in UK supermarket after months

The Ultimate Belgian Chocolate Gold Coin (£7.99, 470g) returns for a second year. This giant chocolate showstopper is perfect for anyone looking for a dessert that will impress guests on Christmas Day.

NEW Specially Selected Mini Gold Coin Bites

Joining the original is the new Mini Gold Coin Bites (£3.99, 162g). These smaller treats feature a gold Belgian milk chocolate shell filled with layers of caramel sauce and chocolate ganache, finished with crunchy honeycomb pieces. They’re ideal for sharing, gifting or adding to a festive dessert platter.

NEW Ballycastle Chocolate Country Creams

For chocolate lovers who enjoy a festive tipple, Aldi has launched two new cream liqueurs: Ballycastle Chocolate Malted Biscuit Country Cream and Ballycastle Toffee Chocolate Country Cream (£6.79 each, 70cl). They join Aldi’s popular Ballycastle range, which is often compared to Baileys.

Aldi’s festive range is available in stores throughout October to December, so it’s worth shopping early before popular items sell out.

Tesco’s Christmas Chocolate Treats

Tesco has unveiled more than 600 Christmas products for 2026, including over 200 brand-new items, and chocolate plays a starring role in its dessert and bakery ranges.

Tesco Finest Belgian Chocolate & Caramel Molten Pudding

This rich Belgian chocolate pudding has a melt-in-the-middle chocolate centre and is finished at home with smooth caramel and bronze-dusted milk chocolate honeycomb pieces, making it a dramatic dessert for the big day.

Christmas Pudding Chocolate Cake

Priced at £12, this double-layered chocolate cake is covered in smooth chocolate frosting and hand-finished with Christmas pudding decorations. It’s a fun alternative for anyone who prefers chocolate over traditional Christmas pudding.

Tesco Finest Festive Food to Order Desserts

• Finest Belgian Chocolate & Berry Délice (serves 8): Belgian chocolate mousse layered over raspberry and cranberry sauce on a dark chocolate biscuit base

Among the new sweet treats is a Nocciolato Panettone in a Tin, a festive twist on the classic Italian Christmas bread that’s perfect for gifting.
