Christmas may be weeks away, but Aldi knows that patience isn’t exactly a virtue when it comes to the holidays. This year, they’re scooping up the festivities early with a range of ice creams that bring Christmas cheer in every (frosty) bite.

Take the one-litre Christmas pudding and gingerbread ice cream tubs (for just $4.99 and $5.99, respectively). Because what says “yuletide indulgence” quite like the flavours of a hot, dense pudding… frozen? The Christmas pudding option is bringing all the notes of festive spices and dried fruit, while the gingerbread variety is like biting into the the crunchy biscuity goodness of a chilly gingerbread man, complete with caramel ripples and speculoos-flavoured biscuit crumb.

Reach peak holiday whimsy with Aldi’s new Christmas tree-shaped vanilla popsicles, dipped in chocolate. It’s a bit like trimming the tree, except these ornaments don’t hang around long.

Finally, there’s the Vienetta-style Entertainer – available in hazelnut and vanilla – perfect for adding a dash of 80s nostalgia to your holiday ($7.99). Layered and swirled, these are a great freezer stash for the never-ending parties and guests who thought they’d just pop in. 

If your Christmas spirit can’t wait until December, Aldi’s festive ice cream lineup might just be the early gift you didn’t know you needed. In typical Aldi fashion, prices are marked to sell, so don’t wait around for an invitation – check your local Aldi’s availability at the website here.
