It's safe to say that Christmas is creeping up around the corner and we're all excited.
And during the festivities, we're sure many Brits will be tucking into mountains of pigs in blankets. Now Aldi is treating customers in the best way possible.
The German supermarket is expected to sell a staggering 43million bacon-wrapped sausages this year. Since they're popular, the chain is going to open a restaurant just for it.

Aldi is expected to open the restaurant this month to offer "bottomless" pigs in blankets for its diners. Yes, you heard that right…
It comes as YouGov shows the Christmas pork treat is the 10th most famous British dish. Not to mention, Brits are expected to consume 423m pigs in blankets on Christmas Day alone.
The eatery is inspired by the swanky Soho establishment Bob Bob Ricard known for its "press for champagne" button. Aldi's restaurant though will have a "press for PIB" button instead.
While it's not as luxurious as champagne, who's going to say no to a button for pigs in blankets, eh? The temporary restaurant is located in Camden Passage, Islington.
But there's just one catch, it's only open for lunch and dinner sittings on November 24 and 25. Tickets are only £5 per person which is pretty reasonable.

On the menu is brie and cranberry "candy cane" pigs in blankets, as well as others made with chipolatas and caramelised onions, and a "butcher's select" variety.
There's even pigs in blankets-flavoured crisps and a vegan alternative with plenty of prosecco to go alongside it. We guess Christmas came early this year…
