Walkers has brought back three festive crisp flavours for Christmas 2026, including Roast Potatoes, which have not been on shelves since 2021. The range is completed by Pigs in Blankets and Sensations Honey Glazed Roast Ham, already available in stores in limited-edition Christmas packaging. PepsiCo marketing director Rob Pothier noted that 84 per cent of shoppers load up on Christmas snacks ahead of the festive season.

Pigs in Blankets and Roast Potatoes are sold in 25g multipacks of five priced at £2.30, with Honey Glazed Roast Ham available in 150g bags at £2.50.

Fans took to social media to celebrate, with one writing: 'Pigs in blankets were the best — so happy they're back!'

A Cadbury Dairy Milk Winter Mint Crisp bar has also returned to supermarkets, priced at £5 in Tesco and Ocado.
