Heinz and Terry's have teamed up to create what might be the weirdest festive special yet - a Terry's Chocolate Orange-flavoured mayonnaise.
Yes, you read that right. According to Heinz UK and Terry’s, the Heinz Seriously Good Terry’s Chocolate Orange Mayo is a blend of mayonnaise and chocolate orange segments.
It’s also made with creme patissiere and an extra dose of orange oil to give it that proper Terry's touch.
The unlikely – and somewhat bizarre – concoction is said to be a “smooth and delicious spread that works perfectly dolloped onto your festive desserts or spread onto brioche, crumpets, pancakes, or croissants this festive season”.
“Here at Heinz, we are always innovating, and love creating fun new limited-edition products that we know our fans will love,” explained Maria Jantchi – Senior Brand Manager at Heinz.
“So, this year we set out to create the most Christmassy mayo that we could think of, and who better to partner with for that than the iconic Terry’s Chocolate Orange, everyone’s favourite Christmas treat?
“After months of development, we are absolutely delighted to be launching the world’s first-ever Chocolate Orange Mayo, just in time for Christmas.”
Laure Gentil – Marketing Controller at Terry’s Chocolate Orange – added: “Since Terry’s Chocolate Orange launched in 1932, we have never stopped innovating, growing, and launching new formats and flavours to delight our loyal fans.
“We are proud to be continuing this Christmas with our mayo mash up, which works perfectly as a delicious spread.”
If you’re thinking of trying the new Christmas condiment, unfortunately, it won’t be as simple as popping to your local supermarket or corner shop, as only 200 lucky winners will get to sample the limited-edition jars.
The new spread can be won in a competition that’s running until 13 December.

Bradford set for major new train station as plans promise faster journeys to Leeds, Manchester and Sheffield
Clementine Hall
The Government have revealed plans for a new train station at Bradford Interchange.
The new station will bring passengers across the North more reliable services, better connections and faster journeys across Leeds, Manchester and York.
The new site at Bradford Interchange will unlock the potential to regenerate Bradford's Southern Gateway, and in hand with the proposed West Yorkshire Mass Transit, will support thousands of new homes, jobs, and up to £1 billion in economic benefits.
The station will also become part of Great British Railways (GBR), the new publicly owned railway that will bring track and train together helping deliver a more reliable, efficient and passenger-focused railway.

The announcement marks a major milestone in the delivery of Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR).
The NPR aims to deliver a 'turn-up-and-go' railway for passengers, meaning multiple trains an hour will run frequently enough between major cities across the North that passengers won’t need to check a timetable before going to the station.
The new station is set to be delivered in the 2030s, replacing the current station built in the 2030s.
Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire said: “Today is an exciting and important milestone for Bradford, with an iron clad commitment to a new station in the city centre.
“Bradford has so much untapped potential, and faster, more frequent trains to Leeds and Manchester, and the transformation of the city centre through Bradford City Village, will help to finally unleash it.
“Together with investment for northern powerhouse rail, a mass transit system for West Yorkshire and our brand-new Weaver Network, we are working in lockstep with the government to deliver a better-connected region.”
Henri Murison MBE, Chief Executive of Northern Powerhouse Partnership said: "The decision to build Bradford’s new station at the interchange in the city centre is a long-term commitment to the city and the wider North.”
“By unlocking the regeneration of the Southern Gateway we will see homes and jobs for this city which otherwise would not be built or come here. Working with the council and Mayor Tracy Brabin and her team I will be doing everything I can to push on and move forward with ambitious plans that enable future phases of Northern Powerhouse Rail. This network will better connect the young people in the city with opportunities in Manchester and Liverpool as well as Sheffield.”
