We'd be lying if we said that mince pies weren't one of the best bits of Christmas – and there are just a few short weeks until we're legitimately allowed to tuck in with gusto.

But prepare to get even more excited about that first festive bite because Aldi has gone above and beyond this year to make mince pies even better...

By adding gin into the mix!

What to read next

Deliciously warming sloe gin, to be precise.

Yep, the budget supermarket just made all our Christmases come at once by revealing that it's launching Specially Selected Sloe Gin Mince Tarts.

Described as 'a very sophisticated alternative to the traditional mince pies', these wondrous creations contain a mincemeat and sloe gin filling, topped with flaked almonds.

A pack of six will cost just £2.29, and they're launching in stores on 14 November!

CAN'T. WAIT.
