If you want to know in advance how many canoe biscuits you can serve on New Year’s Eve, choose a pack that states the number of biscuits: Jumbo lists 7 in the Aviateur pack, while PLUS lists 5. A smaller 220 g pack may work for lunchboxes, but check the packaging to see how many biscuits it contains and whether they’re individually wrapped. If you’re buying for guests, also check the ingredients, allergens and best-before date on the pack you actually buy.
For a small New Year’s Eve gathering, a stated number of biscuits is more useful than the pack weight alone. Jumbo lists Aviateur Filled Canoe Biscuits as 7 pieces in 325 g; PLUS lists an Aviateur pack with 5 pieces in 230 g.
If you’d rather not open too many at once, consider a smaller pack. Jumbo lists 220 g packs of Butter Mini Canoe Biscuits. Before packing lunchboxes, check the number of biscuits and whether they’re individually wrapped.
Compare how many you actually want to open and store. ALDI lists Heerlijck Banket Canoe Biscuits in a 330 g pack, while Jumbo lists a standard 275 g pack. Check that your chosen pack is available shortly before you buy.
First decide whether you need a pack with a stated number of biscuits, a smaller pack for lunchboxes or a pack that’s available for your party shopping.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Number of pieces | Check the stated number of biscuits; don’t infer it from the weight. | If I’m serving guests, I want to know in advance how many biscuits there are. A clear piece count is the top priority for around 46% of consumers. |
| Smaller pack | Compare the pack weight and check the number of biscuits and whether they’re individually wrapped. | For lunchboxes, I don’t want to open more than I need at once. Around 27% of consumers give a smaller pack their highest priority. |
| Availability | Check shortly before buying whether the pack you want is available at your chosen shop. | When I’m doing my party shopping, I want to be able to count on finding the pack I’ve chosen. Availability matters most to around 27% of consumers. |
A pack labelled 220 g, 275 g or 330 g doesn’t tell you how many individual canoe biscuits you can serve. Jumbo and PLUS do state the number of pieces in the Aviateur packs mentioned: 7 and 5 respectively.
If you’re planning for guests, choose a pack with a stated number of pieces or check the count on the packaging.
ALDI warns that products can sell out quickly when demand is high. Lidl’s listing for Sondey Canoe Biscuits is dated 6 October 2026 and doesn’t confirm that they’ll be in stock for New Year’s Eve.
Check shortly before shopping whether the pack you want is available. If you’re planning a get-together, consider a different pack size as a back-up.
Ingredients and allergens vary by product. Information about one brand or pack therefore isn’t a safe guide to another.
Check the label on the exact pack when you buy it, especially if you’re serving canoe biscuits to guests with allergies.
Albert Heijn lists AH BASIC Canoe Biscuits, 6 pieces, as discontinued. This older variant is therefore no longer an option for your shopping plans.
Check a current product listing or the shop shelf before relying on a particular pack size.
Jumbo lists 275 g packs of Butter Canoe Biscuits and 220 g packs of Butter Mini Canoe Biscuits.
Jumbo lists Aviateur Filled Canoe Biscuits as 7 pieces in 325 g; PLUS lists an Aviateur pack with 5 pieces in 230 g.
ALDI lists Heerlijck Banket Canoe Biscuits in a 330 g pack.
Lidl lists 325 g Sondey Canoe Biscuits, made with butter and filled with almond paste.
Albert Heijn lists AH Butter Canoe Biscuits on a product page.
Start with a pack that states the number of pieces. Jumbo lists Aviateur Filled Canoe Biscuits as 7 pieces in 325 g, while PLUS lists an Aviateur pack with 5 pieces in 230 g. For packs that only show a weight, check how many biscuits they actually contain.
Check the packaging of the variant you want to buy. Jumbo lists a 220 g pack of Butter Mini Canoe Biscuits, but the word ‘mini’ doesn’t tell you whether each biscuit has its own wrapper or how many pieces the pack contains.
Read the allergen information on the label of the exact pack. Ingredients can vary by variant, and the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority notes that allergen information is important on-pack information for consumers.
Follow the storage instructions on the pack you choose. For its 275 g Butter Canoe Biscuits, Jumbo says to store them in a cool, dry, dark place. If you’re buying them well ahead of New Year’s Eve, check the best-before date too.
No, a listing like that doesn’t confirm the pack will be available around New Year’s Eve. Lidl’s listing for 325 g Sondey Canoe Biscuits is dated 6 October 2026; check availability again when you do your shopping.
