The best supermarket Christmas hams ranked heading into the holiday season

Consumer advocacy group Choice has ranked the top Christmas hams across 12 supermarkets heading into the festive season.

Jan Cook has been buying her Christmas table centrepiece from Woolworths for decades.

"We've always had ham. So, I'm the one that always comes and chooses it and buys it and shouts," the 86-year-old said

However, this year Woolworths has been smoked by another big supermarket.

During a blind test of 12 hams from the big supermarkets, the Coles Christmas Beechwood Smoked Half Leg came out on top.

"It's the Taylor Swift of hams," Mark Serrels from CHOICE said.

This Christmas, Coles expects to sell a staggering 3 million kilograms of ham.

The winning Coles ham scored 80 per cent on Choice's marking.

At $8 a kilogram, it shows that price doesn't always dictate quality.

Woolworths' Mountain Ash Wood Double Smoked Half Leg scored 75 per cent in second place, followed by the same supermarket's Bone In Half Leg, scoring 70 per cent.

At 61 per cent, Aldi's Half Leg On-The-Bone was the lowest-ranked ham.

Fresh turkeys are also set to hit the shelves a week before Christmas.

From December 18, Woolworths will sell 65,000 fresh turkeys in just seven days.

Woolworths will also sell more than 5.6 million mangoes, half a million kilograms of lamb legs, and 2.8 million kilograms of cherries.
