Aldi UK’s October 7, 2026 Christmas preview schedules new food and drink for December 4 and 19, with a returning party-food favourite due December 10. The list below separates new launches from returning products and gives the announced UK prices and pack sizes. It is a preview, not a complete December catalogue: Aldi says more Christmas products will be announced, and its stated dates and prices are not a guarantee of local stock or shelf price. Aldi UK’s announcement says the festive range will be in stores throughout October to December.
This is the UK lineup, not a statement about Aldi in the United States. The US page reviewed showed an October 14–20 Finds listing rather than a December range. Aldi US upcoming Finds

How to read the launch dates and prices
Aldi’s October 7 announcement is a first look, and it says further Christmas products will be announced. It says the festive range will be in stores throughout October to December, but individual dates in the announcement are planned arrival dates, not a promise that every local shop will have each item on that date. Prices, weights and sizes above are the retailer’s announced UK details, not independently checked shelf prices. The release does not list a December 12 launch for the items covered here.
