Of course Nigella Lawson decorates her Christmas tree with bacon rashers

We saw Nigella Lawson put bacon on her Christmas tree, so we put bacon on our Christmas tree.

Where Nigella Lawson leads, we will follow, and that even extends to her unconventional choice of Christmas tree ornaments.

The famous chef and undisputed queen of Christmas shared a picture of her festive creation with her Twitter followers, captioning it, “Behold my beautiful bacon-ornamented tree!”

While the rashers aren’t actually of the porcine variety and are, in fact, only decorations, her followers joked that they wouldn’t put it past Lawson to adorn her tree with real streaky bacon.

The decorations in question are not from a butcher; they’re from UK kitchenware company Sous Chef, which also stocks other adorable and bougie ornaments like tins of caviar, shelled prawns, pearlescent oysters, tiny soy sauce bottles and plenty more. Check the range here.

Nigella’s not the only one embracing fun, food-inspired ornaments this holiday season. Over at Bed Bath n’ Table, you’ll find cute margarita and martini cocktail decorations, plum cake ornaments and elegant little glass strawberries to jazz up your Christmas tree. Meanwhile, Kmart is offering fast-food-themed ornaments, in case you’re after a bit of cheesy Christmas cheer. Glittering pizza slices, hot dogs, steamer baskets filled with bao, packs of fries and guac-topped burritos are available in a 6-pack for only $10.

And, of course, let’s not forget the traditional pickle ornaments that are still making the rounds. An American tradition thought to have originated in Germany, hiding a pickled cucumber in the Christmas tree means good fortune (and an extra present) for the first person to spot the pickle.

Looks like food-inspired tree decorations are becoming the new holiday trend, and it’s making us hungry just thinking about it.
