Coles carves up value with Christmas hams

Coles’ 2025 Christmas ham range, set to land in store next week, is promised to cater to every taste and budget.

The ham range features 100% Australian, sow stall-free pork available in three levels of smoky perfection. And with a use-by date of past Christmas Day, Coles is helping customers stagger their costs throughout the season to stretch their festive dollars further.

“We know many families are working with tighter budgets this year, and we’re helping our customers celebrate by delivering value on our most popular hams,” says Coles General Manager of Meat, Deli and Seafood Karen O’Connor.

“Christmas looks different for every household and whether you’re catering for a crowd or enjoying a quiet gathering, Coles has a delicious ham to suit every festive table and budget.”

The range

Coles’ Single Smoked Beechwood Half-Leg ham – $1.50 per serve ($8 per kg, same price as last year)

Infused with a delicate beechwood smoke and a subtly sweet pork flavour, Coles’ Single Smoked Beechwood Half-Leg Ham was awarded bronze medals at this year’s Melbourne Royal Australian Food Awards and Royal Tasmanian Fine Food Awards, making it a festive favourite.

Coles Beechwood Double Smoked Half-Leg Ham  – $2.50 per serve ($13 per kg, 50 cents cheaper than last year)

Offering “mouthwatering flavour with every bite”, this ham won a gold medal at the 2025 Melbourne Royal Australian Food Awards, highlighting its quality and taste for this holiday season.

Coles Finest Free-Range Triple Smoked Half-Leg Ham – $3.20 per serve ($16 per kg)

Delivering rich, smoky-savoury flavour and an award-winning gold at the 2025 Royal Tasmanian Fine Food Awards.

Coles Pulled Ham with Smokey Maple Glaze – $2.50 per serve

New to the line-up this year, this is a delicious twist on the classic glazed ham –slow-cooked for tenderness and coated in a glossy caramel glaze. This ham has been cooked for three hours so all you need to do is heat it up.

In addition to its hero hams, returning favourites like the Coles Brown Sugar Glazed Easy Carve Ham ($2.20 per serve) and Coles Crackling Leg Ham Boneless ($3.64 per serve) both offer golden finishes, juicy texture, and bold, salty-sweet flavour perfect for Christmas tables.

Customers can find the range in store and online from Wednesday 5 November.

Coles research reveals its customers are embracing the festive season with thoughtful planning and a strong focus on value, with more than one in three people (34%) reducing their spend, and budget conscious shoppers turning to specials and loyalty programs to stretch their festive dollar further.
