There are some foods that just scream Christmas: pavlova, prawns and of course, ham. 

Glazed ham is always a hit at the Christmas dinner table, but it can often be one of the most time-intensive foods to serve up during the festive season.

Luckily Woolies is lending a hand, releasing not one but two ready-to-pour ham glazes to make entertaining that little bit easier. 

Woolies ready-to-pour glazes: all the details 

The supermarket has released an Orange Honey & Mustard Glaze that joins their Fig Honey & Thyme Glaze. 

Both flavours are designed to pair with your Christmas ham and take the stress out of Christmas cooking.

To use, simply pour a third of the glaze on your ham before baking it for 25 minutes. Then add another third of the glaze (making sure to incorporate some of the delicious pan juices!) and bake for another 25 minutes, repeating the process with the remaining glaze.

The Woolworths ham range for 2025

Woolworths’ award-winning ham range includes its ever-popular Half Leg Ham, which is available for just $8 per kilo.  

Other classic favourites include the Woolworths Double Smoked Half Leg Ham and its Gold Triple Smoked Free Range Half Leg Ham.

Joining the already impressive line-up this year is the Woolworths Double Smoked Quarter Leg Ham, meaning there is something for every type of ham connoisseur. 

“The arrival of our Christmas hams is the unofficial signal that festive planning is underway. We know the ham is a non-negotiable centrepiece for millions of Aussie families, and we’ve focused on delivering choice and convenience this year,” says Woolworths Supermarkets Director of Deli, Poultry & Seafood, Jason McQuaid.

“Our 2025 range includes more than 14 ham varieties, offering something for every celebration, cooking skill, and budget. From our premium Gold Triple Smoked options to easy-to-carve options, we’ve curated a selection to make festive entertaining simple and delicious.”

In addition to its ham and glazes, Woolies has released a range of party food that takes the prep pain out of entertaining: simply cook and serve. 

This year’s range includes prawn toast with ponzu sauce, prawns wrapped in pastry with cocktail sauce as well as bacon-wrapped prawn skewers, prawn and chorizo skewers.

A spokesperson for Woolworths said: “While we all still love classic party pies and sausage rolls (who doesn’t?!), we know that busy hosts are looking for super easy ways to make their entertaining look great without all the stress. 

“This year, the Woolies team worked on a cool new lineup of ‘fancier’ options designed just for that, perfect for the non-stop holiday social scene.”

Looking for dessert? This year’s Chrissy line-up includes a Gingerbread Cheesecake topped with a cute gingerbread man and dulce de leche icing – yum! 

Sides and salads to serve with your glazed ham

Of course no Christmas ham is complete without a side of potatoes and veg! Here’s some sides we love to get you inspired. 

Best-ever creamy potato bake: You can’t go wrong with potato bake! This indulgent side uses sour cream, thickened cream and bacon for a potato bake worthy of Father Christmas himself. 

Mango Chilli Salad: This salad has the perfect combination of flavours, is great for hot weather and goes well with seafood and chicken too. 

Oriental 2-minute noodle salad: Always a favourite, this easy salad is perfect for festive entertaining and is friendly on the wallet.
