Coles is bringing back a festive favourite this Christmas, with its delicious range of hams landing in stores from Wednesday 4 November, including the award-winning and bestselling Coles Single Smoked Beechwood Half-Leg Ham at $8 per kg, unchanged for the fourth year in a row.
With options to suit every taste and budget, Coles' Christmas ham range is made with 100% Australian, higher welfare pork and comes in three levels of smokiness. With use-by dates extending beyond Christmas Day, customers can also shop earlier and spread the cost of their festive food over the season.
For a crowd-pleasing Christmas centrepiece, Coles' Single Smoked Beechwood Half-Leg Ham is made for sharing. At an average weight of five kilograms, one ham can serve up to 26 people for just $1.54 a serve.
Coles General Manager of Meat, Deli and Seafood Karen O'Connor said Coles is helping customers make the most of Christmas, with the price of its bestselling Single Smoked Beechwood Half-Leg Ham unchanged since 2023.
"Our Single Smoked Beechwood Half-Leg Ham has been a Christmas favourite for years, and we're pleased to keep it at the same great price for customers this festive season. With one ham serving up to 26 people for just $1.54 a serve, it's a simple way to feed a crowd at Christmas, said Karen.
"We've also got more than 200 Christmas products priced at $10 or less, giving customers plenty of choice when planning their festive spread.
"And the value doesn't stop at Christmas lunch. A great ham can go a long way across the festive season, from the main celebration to Boxing Day sandwiches, salads and easy meals with family and friends."
For those looking for a bigger hit of smoky flavour, Coles Beechwood Double Smoked Half-Leg Ham is available for $13 per kg, same price as last year, working out to $2.50 a serve. It also picked up a gold medal at the 2025 Melbourne Royal Australian Food Awards, recognising its quality and flavour.
For something extra special, the Coles Finest Free-Range Triple Smoked Half-Leg Ham is $16 per kg, or $3.20 a serve. With its rich, smoky flavour, it also earned gold at the 2025 Royal Tasmanian Fine Food Awards.
Coles is making Christmas entertaining easier this year with a bigger festive range, more choice across different budgets and new products designed to take some of the work out of the big day.
Across Coles and Liquorland, customers can shop a combined 371 exclusive Christmas food and drink products this year, including 158 new additions. More than 200 Christmas products are priced at $10 or less, while the Coles Finest Christmas range has grown 40% to 49 products this year.
Taking centre stage is the new Coles Finest Spiral Ham with Cherry & Orange Glaze ($25/kg), the first spiral ham of its kind to launch in Australia. Made from Australian pork and serving more than 12, the boneless ham is partially pre-sliced for easier carving, with customers simply adding the glaze for a caramelised finish.
The range also includes a Coles Finest Slow Cooked Free Range Turkey Crown 1.7kg ($55 each |$3.24/100g), made with Australian turkey and slow cooked for 3.5 hours before being finished at home for around 40 minutes, and a Coles Finest Slow Cooked Beef Rib Rack Roast ($58/kg), slow cooked for five hours and ready to reheat and serve.
For smaller celebrations, the Coles Finest Slow Cooked Pork Crackling Rib Roast ($28/kg ) serves four to six and can be finished in the air fryer in around 20 to 25 minutes for crisp crackling, keeping the oven free for the rest of Christmas lunch.
