If stollen is one of your festive favourites - and at the top of your shopping list - then the supermarket aisles are stacked high with plenty of choice.

But which of these supermarket stollens are the best?

Sainbury's Taste the Difference Cherry & Kirsch Stollen Bites, £3.25

Pleasant enough but they quickly become sickly.

A little bit too Christmassy tasting with a combination of too much sweet all at once. Some people will love this, but it veered too much of the sweet side for me.

2/5

Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Stollen Slices, £3.75

I slightly preferred this to the Stollen bites, it was a little less sickly.

I tried it with some oat milk and it made it even better as it was a little more soggy, which I tend to prefer.

3/5

Lidl Favorina Finest marzipan stollen, £3.29

This was lovely but wasn't quite as almondy as I normally like.

I'm an almond addict though, so it will probably be ideal for those who aren't hugely fond of it or don't like it too strong.

3/5

Waitrose No.1 Our Ultimate Stollen, £10

Really, really good.

The almond taste boomed out of it and it had the right blend of soft but crunchy.

Tasted very Christmassy and I definitely rated it the highest out of all the stollen I tried.
