We're more than halfway through January and Christmas seems like a distant memory.

The next big event on the horizon for many of us will be Easter Sunday, which falls on March 31 this year.

Budget retailer Aldi is already well-prepared as they've started to stock hot cross buns.

They start at just 16p per bun and are a perfect way to warm up during the chilly weather.

Aldi’s 'Specially Selected Luxury Fruited Hot Cross Buns' cost £1.35 for a pack of four and are full of sultanas, currants and mixed peel.

Aldi’s 'Village Bakery Fruited Hot Cross Buns', which are 99p for a pack of six, are soft and lightly spiced.

Aldi’s traditional 'Everyday Essentials Hot Cross Buns' cost just 16p a bun (65p for a four-pack) - they are infused with pungent seasonal spices.

The supermarket's full range of hot cross buns will land in stores for Easter.
