Which pack is right for you?

Hosts who want to count ahead

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.

Smaller households and lunchbox planners

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.

Shoppers stocking up

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.

What should you look for when choosing?

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.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming the pack weight tells you how many biscuits there are

    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.

  • Taking an old shop listing as confirmation of availability

    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.

  • Assuming one pack has the same ingredients as another

    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.

  • Including a discontinued product in your shopping plan

    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.

Brands to consider

Jumbo

Jumbo lists 275 g packs of Butter Canoe Biscuits and 220 g packs of Butter Mini Canoe Biscuits.

  • Jumbo offers a choice of a standard pack or a lighter mini pack.
  • For the mini pack, check the number of pieces and whether they’re individually wrapped before planning your lunchboxes.

Aviateur

Jumbo lists Aviateur Filled Canoe Biscuits as 7 pieces in 325 g; PLUS lists an Aviateur pack with 5 pieces in 230 g.

  • Both listed packs have a stated number of pieces, making it easier to plan.
  • These are different packs sold by different shops, so check which variant you’re choosing.

Heerlijck Banket

ALDI lists Heerlijck Banket Canoe Biscuits in a 330 g pack.

  • The stated pack weight helps you choose how much you want to open.
  • ALDI warns that products can sell out quickly when demand is high, so check local availability.

Sondey

Lidl lists 325 g Sondey Canoe Biscuits, made with butter and filled with almond paste.

  • The listed weight makes clear which pack size appears on Lidl’s page.
  • The shop listing is dated 6 October 2026, so check availability again before doing your party shopping.

Albert Heijn

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose enough canoe biscuits for a small New Year’s Eve gathering?

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.

Are mini canoe biscuits individually wrapped for lunchboxes?

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.

Which allergens should I check when buying canoe biscuits for guests?

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.

How should I store canoe biscuits after buying them?

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.

Can I rely on a shop listing from October for New Year’s Eve?

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.
