Food is the focal point of Christmas for many Britons and it\u2019s even seeped into lunchtime habits here in the UK.<\/p>\n

Those who favour supermarket sandwiches for a quick midday meal are spoilt for choice as the usual offerings are joined by festive fillings like turkey, cranberry and stuffing.<\/p>\n

Many can be purchased as part of a grab-and-go meal deal or as a standalone stack.<\/p>\n

Express.co.uk was lucky enough to sample a range of festive sandwiches from Aldi, M&S, Tesco, and Sainsbury\u2019s this year, with one of the retailers crowned the front-runner for Christmas-themed sarnies.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what we thought of the new and returning flavours on offer right now.<\/p>\n

Best supermarket overall – Sainsbury’s<\/h3>\n

The retailer has launched a range of festive sarnies this year as part of their Taste the Difference range. Out of all of the supermarket products sampled in the taste test, they offered the most impressive flavours and quality ingredients. Despite their \u00a34 average price tag, they can be purchased as part of the \u00a33 or \u00a35 meal deals and sales contribute to charitable donations.<\/p>\n

Taste the Difference Christmas Cracker Club – 8\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ingredients: Smoked shredded chicken breast, gravy mayonnaise, pork, sage and onion stuffing, beechwood smoked bacon, spinach and an ale and onion chutney on white bread. This sandwich gives the classic chicken club a fruity festive twist and was voted as one of the best ones sold by Sainsbury’s this year in the Express.co.uk taste test.<\/p>\n

Taste the Difference The Ho Ho Hot One – 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ingredients: Firecracker shredded chicken on kalonji seed bread with crunchy cranberry slaw. This is one for spice-lovers though taste testers agreed there was too much sauce in the ratio of chicken filling, though the soft naan-like bread with seeds and spices is a unique touch. Sold for \u00a34.25 on its own, shoppers can bag it for a discounted rate as part of the \u00a35 meal deal.<\/p>\n

Taste the Difference Hot Smoked Salmon & Lemon – 9\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ingredients: Hot smoked salmon, mayonnaise, spinach, cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche, onion, lemon vinaigrette, lemon juice, capers and dill on rye bread. This one was a crowd-pleaser as a nice alternative to meaty sandwiches. The fresh salmon filling was generous between the soft brown bread and had a light, refreshing flavour thanks to the dill and lemon. It’s even included in the \u00a35 meal deal.<\/p>\n

By Sainsbury\u2019s Chicken & Christmas Slaw – 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ingredients: Chicken breast with cooked red cabbage in red wine, gravy mayonnaise, black pepper mayonnaise and shredded carrot on malted bread. Taste testers agreed this one was a little underwhelming in terms of flavour and not too festive-tasting. It is part of the \u00a33.50 meal deal or can be bought alone for \u00a33.<\/p>\n

Plant Pioneers No Pigs Under Blankets – 5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ingredients: Mushroom and wheat protein sausage, soya protein slices, bacon-style vegan mayonnaise, cranberry chutney and onion on malted bread. This one was not bad for a vegan sandwich but it lacked any real different flavours from the faux-meat ingredients. Sold for \u00a33 each or as part of the \u00a33.50 meal deal.<\/p>\n
