Coles is expanding its Christmas in July range this year to include limited-edition ham for the first time, alongside festive favourites for a mid-year feast.

Available throughout July while stocks last, the new Coles Pull Apart Ham with Smokey Maple Glaze ($25/kg) features slow-cooked pork in a sweet and sticky maple glaze. Also available is Coles Finest Free-Range Triple Smoked Leg Ham Portion ($17/kg), ready for glazing at home.

Festive favourites including Coles Christmas Traditional Fruit Mince Pies (360g, $4.30) and Coles Christmas Apple & Rhubarb Pies (360g, $6.25) are back on shelves – with the mince pies launching at a lower price than this time last year and remaining available until Christmas, or while stocks last.

Coles development and innovation chef, Michael Weldon, said Christmas in July was the perfect excuse to gather around the table and enjoy the comforting flavours of the festive season.

“There's something special about sitting down to a glazed ham, crispy roast potatoes and festive desserts on a cold winter's day. Christmas in July is a great excuse to bring family and friends together and enjoy those classic flavours we usually only indulge in once a year,” said Weldon.

“This year we've expanded our Christmas in July range by introducing ham for the first time, making it even easier to create a delicious festive feast at home with minimal preparation. Whether you're hosting a traditional roast, sharing easy entertaining platters or finishing the meal with fruit mince pies, our range has everything you need to create a memorable winter gathering without spending hours in the kitchen.”
