<p>There are plenty of things we love about Christmas: presents, decorating the tree, and spending lots of quality time with the family.</p><p>But if there's one thing to really get you into the festive spirit, it's a humble mince pie.</p><p>Crumbly, buttery pastry with a juicy, fruity filling - mince pies really are a taste of Christmas.

To reduce our 2018 Christmas waste, we're removing the plastic window from the 1.6 million boxes of the Extra Special Mince Pies we sell each year, saving 4 tonnes of plastic.</p><p>Scroll on to discover our whole, mouthwatering range of mince pies below.</p><h2>Extra Special All-Butter Luxury Mince Pies</h2><p>Our <a href="https://groceries.asda.com/product/tarts-pies-bakewells/asda-extra-special-allbutter-luxury-mince-pies/910000327219" target="_blank">Extra Special All-Butter Mince Pies</a> came out on top in <a href="https://www.which.co.uk/news/2018/11/asda-premium-mince-pies-best-christmas-2018/" target="_blank">Which's annual supermarket mince pie taste test</a> - and it's no wonder!
