A basket of Christmas food has increased 14% on last year with the cost of many items from non-discount supermarkets rising above inflation.

Analysis shows a typical list of 12 items would come to £64.25 to cater for six people.

That works out at a cost of £10.71 per person compared with £9.41 in 2015.

Separate research by Good Housekeeping found shoppers could get a bargain on Christmas food if they were prepared to shop around.

Prices were affected by uncertainty caused by the UK’s Brexit vote to leave the European Union, as well as normal economic forces as markets readjust following several years of deflation, analysts said.

Analysis by the BBC’s England data unit, using figures provided by mySupermarket, found average prices for turkeys, red wine, potatoes and sprouts have all risen above inflation.

And figures show the cost of a box of crackers has gone up 41% since 2015 with an average box costing about £10.90, compared with £7.73 a year earlier.

Isn’t Christmas meant to be getting cheaper?

The cost of a Christmas dinner is really all about how much shoppers are prepared to pay.

Figures from Good Housekeeping suggest it is possible to feed 8 people for under £20, or £2.48 a head if people shop around and get, for example, their turkey from Asda, sprouts from Aldi, mince pies from Lidl and Christmas cake from Iceland. The magazine says the prices of different Christmas dinner essentials are now 10.8% down since 2009.

However, consumer director Caroline Bloor says the overall cost reduction is down to the big discounters such as Aldi and Lidl. Its figures also look at the cheapest possible options.

The figures from mySupermarket do not take into account discount supermarkets such as Aldi or Iceland but concentrate on the bigger stores, the likes of Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons, who are still seen as controlling the UK shopping scene. Their trolley of goods is also based on averages across different stores and categories of products, rather than shopping around.
