Aside from giving (and receiving) gifts, singing along to “All I Want For Christmas” on the radio, and binge-watching Hallmark Christmas movies, indulging in a massive feast is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the holiday season. Imagine a hearty meal that rivals that of Thanksgiving: juicy honey-glazed ham, mashed potatoes smothered in gravy, stuffing, roasted Brussels sprouts, dinner rolls dripping in butter, and dont even get us started on all the desserts.
If youre looking for a more unique way to enjoy the holiday meal without all of the prep work and hours spent in the kitchen, youre in luck. Heinz recently announced on Twitter that its Heinz Big Soup Christmas Dinner, which sold out last year within three hours, will be coming back (via Today). The canned soup — which comes in both original and vegan flavors — contains all the essentials of a British Christmas dinner, including turkey, stuffing balls, and cranberry. According to Heinzs website, it will only be available in select ASDA supermarkets in Great Britain, so Americans who want to try it may need to check eBay for cans.
British Christmas table favorites have quite a bit of overlap with American winter holidays, so the main characters in original Heinz Christmas dinner soup will be familiar: turkey, pigs in blankets, Brussels sprouts, stuffing balls, potatoes, parsnips, carrots, cranberry sauce and gravy.

A reviewer at Today tried out the Heinz Big Soup Christmas Dinner and wasnt completely sold on it. To start, they said it smells like Spaghetti-Os yet tastes like Campbells Chunky Vegetable (which is only helpful feedback if youve ever had either of those). “Turkey bits make a respectable if chewy showing. The carrots are obvious orange chunks of varying size,” they describe. “All of it is soft as newly-fallen snow, and it all tastes exactly like the groth. Theres a sweet-ish tomato flavor, and indeed the ingredients list tomato powder in the gravy mix. I cant taste any cranberry sauce at all.” Overall, they said its not horrible but not terrific — more of a fun gift to give someone than anything else. (“Groth,” aka a combo of gravy and broth, is what the reviewer called the liquid in the can.)

YouTuber Poison Pixie also posted a video review of the Christmas Dinner soup. Her take? “It really tasted good. The more I was eating it, the nicer it got,” she said, adding that some of her friends said they saw someone selling a can for 1,000 pounds on eBay. Seems its a hot commodity (pun intended)!
“After last year’s reaction to Heinz Christmas Dinner Big Soup, bringing it back again this year was a no brainer,” Heinz Soup’s marketing manager Bahar Kiransa said in a statement.
Last year’s meat-filled version is said to have garnered huge public support, selling out in hours. It also secured celebrity fans including Drew Barrymore.
“We’ve been hard at work all year perfecting our recipes for both the meat and vegan versions. We are particularly proud to be introducing the vegan version this year, as everyone deserves to be able to try the delicious flavours of our much-loved Heinz Christmas Dinner Soup.”
It comes as Heinz says it wants to “make sure even more people than ever can enjoy what is fast becoming a festive favorite.”
The newly developed vegan recipe is filled with plant-based sausage, stuffing balls, and root vegetables, all in a thick gravy. It comes after Heinz released plant-based burgers and mince in October, indicating the brand is embracing the ever-growing vegan market.
