Woolworths has dropped its seasonal ham range, ready to help Australians get their festive planning underway. The company stated over the Christmas season, families were expected to purchase more than 1.1 million Woolworths-branded Christmas hams.

Woolworths Supermarkets director of deli, poultry and seafood, Jason McQuaid, said the Christmas ham arrival is the unofficial signal that festive planning is underway.

“Our 2025 range includes more than 14 ham varieties, offering something for every celebration, cooking skill, and budget. From our premium Gold Triple Smoked options to easy-to-carve options, we’ve curated a selection to make festive entertaining simple and delicious.”

The 2025 range showcases classic favourites and new innovations focused on flavour, including;

  • Woolworths Double Smoked Half Leg Ham, $13.00 per kilo
  • Gold Triple Smoked Free Range Half Leg Ham, $15.50 per kilo
  • Woolworths Double Smoked Quarter Leg Ham, $14.50 per kilo

The Woolworths seasonal ham range is now available in stores across the country.
