Fancy a mince pie in September? Head to Sainsbury's where Christmas has started early

MINCE pies and Christmas puddings have already landed on the shelves at Sainsbury’s  – almost four months early.

Festive foods are out on display despite it being the first week of September with Halloween and Guy Fawkes’ still to come.

Shoppers are being tempted to stock up on mince pies, Christmas puddings and seasonal cakes with summer just a week behind us.
