If your Christmas season is all about food (same here), then you’re in for a treat.
From spicy festive ferments to kid-friendly granola and gift-worthy jars of boozy fruit, here’s your 2025 holiday foodie round-up - new launches, great gift ideas, and delicious ways to upgrade your leftovers game.
🎄 Vadasz Sprout Kimchi: The Brussels Sprout Glow-Up
Think you don’t like Brussels sprouts? Think again!
This year, the humble sprout is getting a fiery makeover thanks to Vadasz, Britain’s favourite kimchi brand - and it might just become the star of your Boxing Day leftovers buffet.
Launching 20th November in Waitrose (350g, £4.95 RRP), the new limited-edition Sprout Kimchi blends crunchy seasonal sprouts with spring onion, garlic, ginger, chilli and citrus zest.
The result? A spicy, garlicky, bright and crunchy ferment with all the classic kimchi tang… but festive.
Why it works:
Sprouts are nutritional powerhouses - rich in fibre, vitamins C and K, folate, potassium and antioxidants.
Fermenting them adds gut-friendly live cultures and boosts flavour, turning their natural earthiness into something sweeter, zingier and more complex.
How to use it:
- Pile into a Christmas leftovers sandwich
- Toss into stir-fries or salads
- Mix into kimchi fried rice
- Serve with turkey or roasted veg
- Or just grab a fork… no judgement
Founder Nick Vadasz sums it up best:
“Love them or hate them, you’ve never tasted sprouts like this.”
The Sprout Kimchi joins the brand’s extensive range of kimchi, sauerkrauts, pickles, ferments, dips and sauces.
Find it in Waitrose from 20th November or visit vadaszdeli.co.uk for more.
⭐ Little Rollas by Rollagranola: Kid-Approved, Nutrient-Rich Breakfasts

All blends are gluten-free, dairy-free and fortified with vitamin D, helping support growing bones - especially important during the darker winter months.
