Hot on the horizon and fast approaching, the next big holiday to look forward to after Mother's Day is of course Easter.

Hot cross bun fans are in for a treat this Easter, thanks to a special announcement from Tesco, especially for the hoppy holiday.

The supermarket has released a new hybrid variation – the Hot Cross Scones. Available in store and online now, each pack of two costs just £1.

So this Easter there will definitely be something to suit everyone's tastes. And as there's over 10 different options to choose from, you could even host your very own Hot Cross Bun tasting party – perfect to explore new flavours.

Nicola Orchard, Product Development Manager, said: “Our new Hot Cross Scones combine the crumble of a scone with the fruity flavour of a hot cross bun, and we expect them to be a huge hit with our customers this Easter. As with traditional scones, you can serve with Cornish cream and a touch of strawberry jam – but the big question is, do you put your jam or cream on first?".
