The festive Cuthbert cake features a soft Swiss roll sponge filled with velvety smooth chocolate buttercream.

The family favourite, which has been crowned as one of Aldi's most highly rated products, now sports a Santa hat and festive green bow tie, adorned with tasty star decorations.

To celebrate the launch, Aldi organised a special 'Merry Cuthmas' choir performing festive classics including 'Hark the Herald' and 'Joy to the World', whilst collecting donations for Teenage Cancer Trust. The Christmas Cuthbert is available in stores now.
