One of the best things about Christmas is the range of food that we can indulge in - a time when supermarkets and restaurants go all out to bring us some festive treats.

Well-loved pizza chain Pizza Express has revealed they have also joined in on the festive fun - and have given their iconic dough balls a Christmassy twist and have launched their Dough Balls in Blankets. For the first time ever, the popular menu item will be wrapped in a crisp pancetta, with sage, and a sprinkle of Gran Milano cheese - all finished off with a honey mustard dip.

If you have more of a sweet tooth, the dough balls are also available as a sweet treat too. Available as a dessert - "For a sweet take on the classic starter, customers can choose to indulge in a dessert of Loaded Snowball Dough Balls, which are returning better than ever, now being topped with white chocolate sauce, dusted with cinnamon and icing sugar, with a vegan version also available," PizzaExpress confirmed.

They can also be shared, as there will be the Snowball Dough Balls Christmas Tree dessert too, served with extra white chocolate sauce and a salted caramel dip. However, not to worry for dough ball fans who prefer the classic version - they will still be available too.

Jane Treasure, Food and Beverage Director at PizzaExpress said: "While many already think our Dough Balls are perfect as they are, you can't argue with wrapping them in crispy pancetta! We're beyond delighted to unveil our Dough Balls in Blankets as part of this year's Christmas Menu at PizzaExpress, fusing the festive flavours we all know and love with the iconic PizzaExpress favourites that our customers come back for time and time again. Using only the freshest of ingredients to create a symphony of flavour, we can't wait to welcome customers to enjoy a taste of Christmas and experience showtime at PizzaExpress during this joyful season."
