For some meal deal fans, it's the best time of the year! The usual offerings are being replaced with this year's selection of creative Christmas alternatives. Christmas dinner sandwiches, pulled pork wraps, brie and cranberry baguettes and sides of pigs in blankets in pastry. There's weird combinations and old favourites…
