Christmas day is fast approaching, so it's safe to say we're throwing ourselves into anything festive and fun (in other words, we're going to eat and drink our way into an early Christmas coma).

It's safe to say people have gone all-out this year, and between wine advent calendars, gin-filled decorations, gravy candy canes and boozy jam, these concoctions aren't going anywhere.

And the latest to hit our sights is Prosecco mince pies. Mmm hmm, very fancy.

Ode to Host is the creator of these glorious pies and got the idea from soaking the dried fruit in Prosecco.

The soaked fruit is then mixed in with oranges, lemons, limes, almonds, apples, spices, a dash of brandy and a sip of sherry, and violá! Absolute perfection.

Oh, and did we mention they are gluten- and wheat-free?! So, if you think you're getting dirty looks from your aunt for chugging back the Rosé, these mince pies will be your little secret weapon to get through the day.

You're welcome.
