Christmas is a time for indulgence of letting go of any fad diets and enjoying any food and drink that people can get their hands on.

While many supermarkets shelves have their festive food available to buy we thought we would try some of the best ones out there.

So, we decided to buy a showstopper from the top supermarkets across the UK, including: Tesco, Ocado, Waitrose, M&S, Asda, Amazon Fresh, Sainsbury's and Morrisons to determine the results.

We have listed the price, the supermarket and our overall score out of 10.

There was a clear winner which scored a respectable and near perfect nine of out 10. Let's take a look at the results in more detail.
