Just when you thought Christmas 2021 couldn’t get any better, Aldi has announced the return of its iconic boozy advent calendars.
Now, despite it only being October, Aldi has already been knocking it out of the park with its fantastic festive offerings; just this month, shoppers have been delighted by the return of the iconic halloumi pigs in blankets – chunks of halloumi wrapped in bacon incase you missed the memo.
Shortly after that, the budget supermarket started stocking its very festive ‘glitter globe’ gin liqeuer which features tiny shards of twenty-three carat gold flakes.

But now, Aldi means business with the return of its iconic advent calendars that are filled with wine and prosecco instead of chocolate.
Yep, the signature Wine and Sparkling Wine Advent Calendars are back to keep you happy throughout December for another year; instead of finding a miniature chocolate behind each window, you will be greeted with a small bottle of wine – either red, white or rose – or a small bottle of prosseco.
Imagine waking up to that every day in the run up to Christmas?

And that isn’t all; the supermarket is also selling gin and craft beer advent calendars if wine doesn’t take your fancy.
Aldi said on their new collection: “Our amazing Advent calendars will get you in the festive mood from the very first day of December. Whether you like fizz, beer, wine or gin, they’re a great way to treat yourself every day and they make fun gifts too.”

B&M Bargains is selling a slushie cocktail machine ready for the summer.
Do you love slurping on a Tango Ice Blast in the cinema or guzzling on a mixed-flavour Slush Puppie like you’re 12 years old again?
Well, you’re going to love this new slushie-maker stocked at discount retailer B&M. This new contraption will be perfect to bring out at barbecues while you whip-up some slushie cocktails for you and your friends — they’re gonna love you for it.
The B&M Cocktail Slushie Machine also comes with measurements on it so that you can add just the right amount of syrup or alcohol to ensure your homemade cocktails taste divine.

The size of the slushie-maker means you’ll have enough to make up to a litre of icy cocktail goodness at a time. All you need is syrup, ice, water, booze or cocktail mix and of course, your best cocktail glasses.
There’s a variety of different slushie syrups online or you can pick up a cocktail mix online or at your local supermarket, and just add the alcohol to it.
If you’re a mixologist or cocktail extraordinaire, you can also create your own mix from scratch and use the indicator guides on the jug — really helpful!
Frozen Margaritas, Strawberry Daiquiris, Blue Lagoon slushies anyone?
B&M
This awesome contraption also lets you choose whether you’d like your ice mix to be fine or coarse, so you can achieve the perfect blend for your masterpiece.
This wonderful device is reasonably priced at £35 and can be purchased at B&M stores.
Other online retail sites are also stocking it, but are priced much higher between £44-£50, so B&M is coming in with the absolute bargains again.
B&M wrote in a Facebook post:“This cocktail Slushie machine is a must-have this summer! It’s dead easy to use — we sell syrups too!”
B&M
Fans of slushies who shop at the discount retailer started tagging all their drinking buddies in the comments, with many already saying it was selling out fast.
One person wrote: “Hold the phone just going to fall in to B&M for an adult slushie machine.”
A second said: “Hello cheeky bbq slush cocktails!!!” And, a third posted: “I feel strawberry daiquiris coming on !!! Xx”
Aldi is launching new Jaffa Cake-flavoured tea bags as part of its biscuit tea range.
Shoppers will soon be able to head to the aisles of the budget supermarket to swipe boxes of its new biscuit tea bag range.
Everyone loves a good brew with a biscuit, and why wouldn’t they? — it’s the perfect combination.
But now Aldi have combined the two in a brand new range of Diplomat Biscuit Teas, which come in three flavours.

In a supermarket first, the retail giant has launched its very own Jaffa flavoured tea.
Now, we know there’s the argument that our beloved Jaffas aren’t quite a biscuit but more of a cake shaped like a biscuit. But let’s face it, tea and cake is also a delightful combination, so it’s a win all round.
A description of the concoction reads: “The rich chocolate flavours are followed by a zesty aromatic orange, reminiscent of biting into a Jaffa orange cake.”
The Diplomat Biscuit Tea range also features Salted Caramel and Biscuit flavours.

The Salted Caramel Tea gives you a sweet and salty twist on your cuppa while the Biscuit Tea gives a classic malty biscuit taste.
The Salted Caramel is described as tasting like: “A rich and warming toastie caramel brew, the irresistibly indulgent flavour is perfect for those with a sweet tooth.”
And the Biscuit option is described as combining the ‘malty taste of biscuit and tea into one without the mess’.

This new way to enjoy a cuppa will ensure you’re not left with soggy biscuit pieces at the bottom of your mug — just the great taste of the two components. It could be a total game changer.
The new range of teas will land in stores on May 15th and are priced at £1.49 for 40 bags.
They can be enjoyed on their own, or with the addition of milk or a non-dairy milk alternative.
