ASDA has left people baffled after shoppers spotted a Christmas favourite back on shelves – despite it being only June.

The major supermarket recently left customers gobsmacked after they started selling a Christmas staple six months before the big holiday.
The mega retailer has since come under fire, with confused shoppers branding the move ”ridiculous”.
The four-pack of the festive treat was going for a mere 15p, down from 31p, costing foodies less than 4p per mince pie.
However, despite the sweet deal, Asda customers were anything but impressed.
According to a 2024 study, the overwhelming majority of Britons believe that even September is too early for Christmas-related items to be sold, Ipsos reported.
The report revealed that 83% believe that September is too early for Christmas turkeys, 80% reckon it is too early for Christmas puddings, and 79% think it is too early for Christmas jumpers and festive decorations.
Three quarters of those who took part in the survey said it is too early for mulled wine (76%) and mince pies (75%).
Meanwhile, a staggering 64% believe it is too early for presents, but three in ten (30%) think September it’s the right time to begin buying them.
As we’re still months away from September – and the festive season – furious social media users slammed the mega supermarket.
She said: “Asda often has an alcohol offer on: buy six bottles and save 25%.
“The offer includes selected bottles with red, white and rose options, as well as prosecco. There are usually lots of popular bottles included, for example, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot and Freixenet Prosecco D.O.C.
“Obviously, the more expensive the bottles you choose, the more you save.”
Join Facebook groups
The savvy saver also recommends that fans of Asda join Facebook groups to keep in the know about the latest bargains in-store.
Eilish said: “I recommend joining the Latest Deals Facebook Group to find out about the latest deals and new launches in store.
“Every day, more than 250,000 deal hunters share their latest bargain finds and new releases.
“For example, recently a member shared a picture of Asda’s new Barbie range spotted in store.
“Another member shared the bargain outdoor plants she picked up, including roses for 47p, blackcurrant bushes for 14p and topiary trees for 14p.”
A former employee said: ”Having worked in Asda bakery I can guarantee they were clearing out the freezer in backup & came across a box left over from Xmas.
”Manager told them to bake them & sell cos it’s better than wasting them off.”
”I’m confused,” another social media user was baffled.
And it turns out, Asda isn’t the only retailer getting ready for the holiday, as one person claimed: ”Yesterday I saw Christmas lights at B&M. I had to check the calendar to make sure I wasn’t crazy!”

MANCHESTER UNITED have made contact with Eintracht Frankfurt to register an interest in Hugo Ekitike, according to reports.
Liverpool and Chelsea are also thought to be interested in the 22-year-old striker, who has four years left on his deal.
Manchester United have entered the race for Hugo Ekitike
According to SkyGermany, the Red Devils have “made contact” with the Bundesliga side.
It is understood United are exploring the conditions of a potential deal for Ekitike with Frankfurt demanding around £85m (€100m).
It won’t be an easy deal to get over the line with Chelsea also thought to be in the running to sign the French bagsman.
Ekitike, who scored 15 goals and registered eight assists in the league this season before helping Frankfurt secure Champions League football with a third place finish, won’t come cheap.
But as they continue their rebuild under Ruben Amorim,Unitedwill likely dip their toe in the market for another goalscorer this summer following a horror campaign that featured just 44 goals in 38 Premier League games.
The news around United and Ekitike comes after it emerged that Arsenal made their first concrete bidfor wantaway Sporting LisbonstrikerViktor Gyokeres.
A report from Portuguese publicationRecordclaims the Gunners made an offer for the 27-year-old Swede at a meeting in Spain on Wednesday.
United desperately need attacking reinforcements, with Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee having endured a poor campaign at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils have been linked with a number of names, includingGyokeres,Benjamin Seskoand Liam Delap,who has already joined Chelsea.
Meanwhile, Premier League champions Liverpool registered their interest in Ekitike in May, but the long-running saga over a move for Florian Wirtz means a move to Anfield is still on the table.
The Reds are making tweaks with rumours that Darwin Nunez could be swapping Merseyside for the Middle East this summer.
United must raise funds by selling players before sanctioning further incomings beyond Cunha.
But no European commitments offers United the opportunity to trim the squad without necessarily requiring replacements, which should spark a ruthless approach to exits.
