The Best Christmas Ham You’ll Ever Taste

We’ve tried a lot of Christmas hams over the years, but nothing compares to Holly Bacon’s. The flavour is incredible — perfectly balanced between smoky and savoury. You can really taste the quality and care that goes into it.

The meat is tender and juicy, carving beautifully for a family feast, and it smells amazing while heating — that classic “Kiwi Christmas” aroma that fills the kitchen. Everyone went back for seconds (and thirds).

What makes it even better is knowing it’s made locally, by a fifth-generation Hawke’s Bay family business that still does things the traditional way. You can taste the difference.

If you’re looking for a show-stopping centrepiece this Christmas, this is it. Once you’ve had a Holly Bacon ham, there’s no going back.
