The Festive Full Works Bloomer is back with some major improvements. Slices of butter basted turkey sit along smoked ham and a new hand-crumbed pork with a prune & pancetta stuffing. Also with spinach, cranberry sauce and mayonnaise.

An interesting change here, with a much better mix of fillings.

Goats Cheese, Pear & Date Bloomer (£3.95, vegetarian)

(Image: EAT)

Slices of creamy goats cheese and juicy mulled wine pears with a pear & date chutney, spinach and peppered mayonnaise.

(Image: EAT)

Chunky slices of butter basted Turkey, hand-crumbed pork, prune & pancetta stuffing and crispy onions with cranberry sauce and rocket in a fresh baguette.

There's a lot of bread again - I'm all about filling - but the crispy onions are a good addition.

(Image: EAT)

Tesco

There's a lot on offer from Tesco, with a mix of turkey choices. We got our hands on the sandwiches early, before they hit shelves.

Turkey and Trimmings Sandwich £2.35

A festive feast: succulent turkey breast, sausage, bacon and sage & onion stuffing, with cranberry sauce.

4/5

A very moist sandwich - this all depends on your feelings on mayo, but this is a great turkey choice. A good balance with the cranberry, though it lacks the full 5/5 rating because of the texture.

Tesco Finest Turkey Feast Sandwich £3

Succulent slices of British turkey and smoked crispy bacon served with a traditional crumbled pork and chestnut stuffing with a creamy chicken stock mayonnaise served on malted bread.

4/5

All of Tescos turkey offerings are pretty much the same (bar the trimmings).

Tesco Finest Hog Roast Roll £3.50

Outdoor bred pulled pork with a winter spiced apple & calvados sauce layered with Lincolnshire sausage, scorched Pink Lady apples and a stuffing & gravy mayonnaise in a sage & onion roll.

4/5

This was a good addition, and lived up to the Finest name tag. Worth a go though not very ho, ho, ho.

Tesco Finest Bubble & Squeak Roll £3.50

This delicious roll is made up of bubble & squeak fritters and braised red cabbage with notes of apple, cinnamon cloves and star anise. Combined with sage and onion flavours from the stuffing and creamy vegan mayonnaise, all contained inside a savoury carrot roll. For the finishing touch it comes with a sachet of coconut bacon flavour flakes.

3/5

Nice veggie option, jazzing it up a little bit. A little dry but it's nice to have something different.

Tesco Finest Beef & Red Leicester Sandwich £3

Succulent British pulled smoked applewood beef with a aged red leicester cheese ,tangy red onion marmalade served on malted bread

2/5

Lacked sauce and was a little sparse on the cheese.

TESCO BRIE BACON & CRANBERRY WRAP £2.35

A barmarked tortilla, packed with creamy Brie, Smoked bacon rashers and a sharp Cranberry sauce to cut through the other ingredients finished with the fresh spinach leaves.

2/5

I have strong feelings on wraps. Enough said.

Tesco Healthy Living Turkey Trimmings Sandwich £3

Slices of British turkey served with a tangy chunky cranberry sauce with baby leaf spinach served on malted bread .

2/5

This one does what is says on the tin, if you're looking to slim down for Xmas then go for it!

Tesco Ham Hock & Spiced Orange Marmalade Sandwich £3

Pulled ham hock served with a spiced orange marmalade ,baby leaf spinach served on a malted bread .

2/5

There needed to be less of the spiced marmalade here, I know, I know, we said it's all about the moistness, but this time it overpowers the sandwich.

Tesco Brie & Cranberry Sandwich £3

Slices of creamy brie served with a chunky cranberry sauce, baby leaf spinach all served on oatmeal bread .

3/5

I do love a brie offering and this is a good one. Nice balance and the cheese isn't too strong.

Turkey & Trimmings Panini £2.50

Succulent slices of British turkey with crispy smoked sweetcured bacon and a wild cranbery sauce all served in a stone baked ciabatta barmarked panini .

3/5

The fillings were a little sparse again here.

(Image: Credit Daniel Jackson / Mirror)

Turkey & Trimmings Wrap £2.45

Mayonnaise, diced turkey breast and thigh, pork and sage stuffing, cranberry sauce, lettuce and diced bacon in a bar marked wheat flour wrap.

2/5

Wraps = strong feelings. Sorry.

Turkey & trimmings Triple Sandwich £2.80

Malted brown bread, turkey breast, chicken stock mayonnaise, pork sausage, cranberry sauce, sage and onion stuffing and cooked diced bacon.

4/5

The same as the other turkey sandwich but MORE.

Pigs Under Blankets Sub Roll £2.30

Pork sausage, chicken stock mayonnaise, cranberry sauce, sage and onion stuffing and sweetcure streaky bacon in a sage and onion white roll.

3/5

Pigs in blankets are a win, but no one ever just wacks them in. It's sort of like they're de-constructed hence the 'under'. That makes me sad, but it doesn't take away the nice taste.

Pret

Christmas Lunch £3.75

Thick slices of Norfolk free-range turkey breast on malted bread with a dollop of slightly tart port & orange cranberry sauce. Served with Pret's herby stuffing – made with beautifully seasoned minced pork, streaky bacon and apricots. Topped with crispy onions and fresh baby spinach.

Calories: Per 229g 482

Pret is donating to charity - 50p per sandwich, which is great.

3/5

Taste wise, this is a stonker. It's packed full of filling, but it's a little on the sweet side, an issue most of the Pret sandwiches suffer this Christmas.

Veggie Sandwich

Roasted chunks of butternut squash, nutty Christmas pesto and spicy rocket. Served with a spoonful of yoghurt & mayo dressing and a sprinkling of crispy onions on malted bread.

Calories; 531 per 235 g serving

2/5

Very nutty, and not sure about the mayo in this one.

Greggs

Festive bake

(Image: Greggs)

Chicken breast, sage and onion stuffing, and sweetcure bacon in a creamy cranberry and sage sauce, all wrapped in a golden puff pastry with a crunchy crumb topping. £1.50

3/5

Ok so it's not a sandwich hence the three rating, but the filling is nice and creamy, and it's a crowd pleaser.

Turkey, bacon and cranberry roll

(Image: Greggs)

Does what it says on the tin. £1.50

2/5

Not a sandwich, it's a sausage roll with a little extra.

Christmas lunch sandwich, and Christmas lunch toastie

(Image: Greggs)

As above, either hot or cold. £3

2/5

Not a bad sandwich at all, and a vast improvement on the last year's offering. The stuffing crumbles, and the sauce is plentiful. Only gripe is the turkey can be a little rubbery in places.

Crussh

Confit Turkey & Cheddar Spelt Sourdough Toastie (£4.95)

Confit turkey thigh with caramelised onions & herbs, cheddar cheese, cranberry sauce & spinach in a fresh spelt sourdough toastie.

2/5

Not so keen on the caramelised onions with the cranberry sauce. Too much if a good thing.

Brie & Walnut Spelt Sourdough Toastie (V, £4.50)

Brie, caramelised balsamic onion confit, walnuts in a fresh spelt sourdough toastie.

Another nice veggie choice, there seem to be more this year!

3/5

Festive Turkey Feast (DF, HP, £3.95)

Turkey breast, pork sage & onion stuffing, bacon, cranberry sauce, spinach & mayo on malted bread.

3/5

A good turkey offering, bacon is always a welcome addition, could do with more cranberry and less tartness.

(Image: Credit Daniel Jackson / Mirror)

Roasted Carrot & Mushroom Nut Roast (V, Ve, DF, £3.45)

Caraway roasted carrots, mushroom & lentil nut roast, spinach & vegan mayo on malted bread.

3/5

Not bad for a veggie sandwich, nut roast is standard, and not too exciting though.

Starbucks

Three cheese cranberry panini

3/5

High bread ratio - needs more filling.

Turkey Feast Panini

(Image: Starbucks)

3/5

Suffers the same issue, too much bread to turkey.

Poached egg and cheese croissant roll

(Image: Starbucks)

4/5

Despite not being very Christmassy (is a croissant a Christmas option?) it is very tasty.

Costa

British Turkey Feast

A hearty sandwich packed with turkey and bacon, a little heavy on the mayo.

3/5

Creamy Brie,Smoked Bacon & Cranberry Panini

Brie and bacon are a match made in heaven. A nice smooth texture, quite salty.

3/5

Festive Pigs in Blankets Panini

It'd be better if they were actual pigs in blankets, and it's a little dry but the idea is a good un.

2/5

(Image: Credit Daniel Jackson / Mirror)

British Turkey, Cranberry & Bacon Toastie

It feels as if it's missing the trimmings but a nice toastie offering.

3/5

British Turkey & Bacon Club

This one was a little confusing, three toasted circle layers and different fillings on each. That's a lot of bread, but I get the idea - it's like a club, not sure about how Christmassy it is though.

2.5/5

Sainsbury's

Video Loading Video Unavailable Click to play Tap to play The video will start in 8 Cancel Play now

Turkey Feast Sandwich £2.35

543 calories

Butter basted British turkey breast, British pork and chestnut stuffing, maple cured smoked British bacon, cranberry and port sauce and mayonnaise with spinach on malted bread.

A little light on flavour despite the substantial filling.

2/5

Brie & Cranberry Sandwich £2.20

519 calories

Brie, cranberry and port sauce mayonnaise and rocket on multigrain bread. The brie is a little bland though, though you can taste the sauce.

2.5/5

Turkey & Pigs Under Blankets Sandwich £2.35

510 calories

British pork with Cumberland sausages, butter basted British turkey, maple cured smoked British bacon with cranberry and port sauce and mayonnaise on malted bread.

2.5/5

Turkey Feast Wrap £2.35

502 calories

British turkey with sage, onion and apricot stuffingby , British pork cocktail sausage, cranberry and port sauce, maple cured smoked British bacon and spinach in a tortilla wrap.

3/5

Snow Globe Sandwich £3.50

444 calories

Butter basted British turkey breast, beechwood smoked streaky British bacon with Brussel sprout slaw, British pork stuffing mayonnaise, cranberry and port sauce and spinach in a brioche roll with stars.

This is the best Christmas sandwich Sainsbury's has on offer by far, great to look at, great taste and the novelty makes you want to try it. It even has stars on it.

The only downfall is the sprout slaw, it feels too summery for a festive filling.

4/5

Aldi

Turkey meat with pigs under blankets £1.69

This lovely feast is packed chock full of filling. A really good budget option. Just needed a little more seasoning.

3.5/5

Brie & Spiced Cranberry Chutney £1.69

Combines creamy brie, cranberry chutney and the added spinach gives a delicate crunch and freshness. Another good brie option. I'm a big fan of the budget range.

3.5/5

Ham Hock, Farmhouse Cheddar and Plum & Apple Chutney sandwich £1.69

Chocked full of ham hock, the chutney isn't bad - plum is a nice addition too. Think boxing day.

2.5/5

Waitrose

Video Loading Video Unavailable Click to play Tap to play The video will start in 8 Cancel Play now

25% off due to introduction offer that ends on the 21 November!

Brie, Cranberry and Grape Sandwich £2.21

448 calories

The grape really makes this sandwich. There are a lot of brie and cranberry options this year, so the grape makes this one stand out. The cheese is nice and smooth too.

3.5/5

Pigs Under Blankets £2.21

501 calories

The weakest of the Waitrose options, it doesn't do any more or less than the other pigs under blanket sandwiches on offer on the high street BUT it does have a nice flavour to the cocktail sausage - no bland sausages here.

3/5

Spiced King Prawn Cocktail Sandwich £2.81

421 calories

This Caribbean inspired wrap is tasty, a little spicy and a lovely wrap but it suffers the same issue as the other Waitrose sandwiches - how Christmassy is it?

3.5/5

Duck and Blackberry wrap £2.81

396 calories

Tasty, and packed with sauce and flavour. Lovely option, though it tastes more like your Chinese takeaway from New Year's Day than the Christmas dinner duck.

3.5/5

Morrison's

Video Loading Video Unavailable Click to play Tap to play The video will start in 8 Cancel Play now

The Best Turkey Lunch Stack £2.70

The onion bread is a great addition, great if you're bored of the normal fare. A little too dry.

3.5/5

Turkey Lunch wedge

£2.40

Quite a lot of the sauce, and a strong flavour and seasoning.

2.5/5

Cheese board wedge

£2.20

A whole lot of cheese packed into poppy seed bread. Great idea, but not enough of each cheese. The cheeses fight each other for the top dog position.

2/5

Christmas Triple

£2.60

Starter, main course and cheese board. Could do with a bit more mayo. Good value if you want a bit of everything.

2.5/5

Asda’s Extra Special British Turkey and Trimmings sandwich £3

605 calories

A great turkey option, packed full of trimmings and turkey. If I'm being picky the bread could be a little lighter.

4/5

Asda Festive Triple

The trio is based off the idea of the starter, main and dessert. You have the prawn cocktail first (with a tangy sauce), the turkey sandwich and the cheese board (which needs more cheese).

3/5

Marks and Spencer

Help Shelter Turkey Feast £3.50

502 calories

A great turkey sandwich, a homemade taste and packed with stuffing. The only downside is the stuffing can overpower the other textures.

4/5

Help Shelter Turkey & Pigs in Blankets £3

502 calories

A good effort, but a little forgettable in comparison to the other M&S sandwiches.

3/5

Help Shelter Brie & Grape £2.80

481 calories

This was a winner last year, and still delivers. The grape really adds something to this veggie option.

4/5

Help Shelter Lobster & Prawn Thermidor £4

388 calories

As someone reminded me in the office Lobster Thermidor was that dish you fed your SIMs. This is much more than SIM fodder, with a light taste and texture it's a nice indulgent option.

4.5/5

Help Shelter Mustard Crusted Rare Roast Beef £4

507 calories

This is pure perfection. The shaving off of the half point is merely down to there not being enough and it being a little hard to tackle. The beef tastes fresh, like it's just been roasted. The sauce is thick and creamy and the onion bun tops it all off. Must try.

4.5/5

Help Shelter Ham Hock & Golden Beetroot Piccalilli £3.30

510 calories

Plenty of ham hock in this sandwich, the piccalilli has a tartness to it. It's more Boxing day than Christmas day but the soft bread and luxury feel means you'll probably tuck into it well before the big day.

4/5

Let us know if we're missing any before our we decide on the best turkey sandwich.
