Coles
A traditional glazed ham has always had a place on Aussie tables at Christmas time, right alongside prawns, salads, and pavlova. But with the rising cost of living playing havoc with household budgets, sometimes expensive meats fall off our festive menus, by necessity.
Coles has some festive cheer in store for shoppers, announcing that the price of their award-winning Christmas hams is remaining the same in 2025, for the third year in a row!
Read on to find out more about the Coles Christmas ham range for 2025.
Which Christmas hams are available at Coles this year?
With a ham-tastic option to suit every budget, Coles’ Christmas ham range features 100% Australian, sow stall-free pork, available in three levels of smoky perfection.
Single Smoked Beechwood Half-Leg ham
Infused with a delicate beechwood smoke and a subtly sweet pork flavour, Coles’ Single Smoked Beechwood Half-Leg Ham was awarded bronze medals at this year’s Melbourne Royal Australian Food Awards and Royal Tasmanian Fine Food Awards. The price of $8 per kilo has remained the same since 2023, and with an average weight of five kilograms, which is enough to serve up to 26 people, this ham is great value at just over $1.50 per serve.
Beechwood Double Smoked Half-Leg Ham
This fuller-flavoured offering is $13 per kilo (50 cents cheaper than last year), about $2.50 per serve. Offering mouthwatering flavour with every bite, this ham won a gold medal at the 2025 Melbourne Royal Australian Food Awards.
Coles Finest Free-Range Triple Smoked Half-Leg Ham
Topping the range, the Coles Finest Free-Range Triple Smoked Half-Leg Ham is priced at $3.20 per serve ($16 per kilo), delivering rich, smoky-savoury flavour and earning gold at the 2025 Royal Tasmanian Fine Food Awards.
What else is in the range?
New to the line-up this year is the Coles Pulled Ham with Smokey Maple Glaze, priced at $2.50 per serve. It’s a delicious twist on the classic glazed ham – slow-cooked for tenderness and coated in a glossy caramel glaze. This ham has been cooked for three hours, so all you need to do is heat it up. How’s that for reducing your seasonal stress?
We love crackling, and the bonus to Coles Crackling Leg Ham is that you don’t have to do it yourself! It’s also boneless, which makes it super easy to carve.
Another returning favourite is the Coles Brown Sugar Glazed Easy Carve Ham, which takes the guesswork out of glazing a ham. You can pop it in the oven to heat through or serve it as is.
When is the Coles Christmas ham range available?
The full range of hams will be available in-store from Wednesday, 5 November.
Thinking that’s too early to be buying a Christmas ham? The range has a use-by date of past Christmas Day, which helps to stagger costs throughout the season (if you’ve got the space to store it for that long!).
How much ham will I need?
Whether you are just entertaining a few or feeding a ravenous, extended ham-ily, the rule of thumb to work with is a serving size of 150 grams per person.
