Marks & Spencer has kicked off its Christmas range with a stream of luxury product launches.
The retailer has jumped on the hot honey hype, with new launches allowing shoppers able to pick from Halloumi in Blankets and a Brie Brûlée covered in the sweet and spicy sauce. It has also unveiled a new turkey-based sandwich, terrine, crisp combo mix, pasta pot and lasagne, following the success of its Turkey Feast Sandwich, which the retailer says sold one every two seconds on its launch in 2023.
“Forget Santa’s workshop – we all know the true magic of Christmas happens in the kitchen,” says M&S Food director of product development Kathryn Turner. “There really is no beating the magic of an M&S Christmas, and this year’s collection is even more spellbinding than ever.”
Standouts include a ‘first-to-market’ white mulled wine and a ‘Build Your Own Charcuter-Tree’ to wow guests at festive parties. With 450 products on offer, including upgraded party food in the Our Best Ever range, M&S promises a show-stopping Christmas for food lovers looking to spend a little extra for an extra tasty day
