Good Housekeeping has released its annual 'tried and tested' guide of where to get the best ingredients for your Christmas dinner.
This year, the authority on supermarket foods can reveal that Aldi is the best British supermarket to go for champagne. Meanwhile your roast turkey should come from Tesco.
Pipping the likes of Fortnum & Masons and Waitrose to the post, Morrisons took the crown for the best smoked salmon.
The Good Housekeeping taste test team ate and drank their way through 185 different festive foods from more than 30 stockists.
They managed to pick out the best of the best across 13 categories, including: champagne, prosecco, smoked salmon, turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, Christmas pudding, brandy butter, Christmas cake, mince pies, stollen, mulled wine and stilton.
The retailer with the highest number of winners this year is Morrisons with four winning products out of 13 categories.
Marks & Spencer, Tesco and Waitrose also figured frequently in the top five, along with high street challenger Aldi.
