Costa Coffee unveils festive treats for Christmas 2024 - but they're available for a limited time only

Alongside it, the traditional All Butter Mince Pie makes its comeback, perfect for pairing with Costa's range of coffees.

These early offerings will cater to the UK's appetite for seasonal treats, with consumers reportedly indulging in nearly 800 million mince pies each year.

Chocolate lovers can rejoice as the Terry's Chocolate Orange Muffin also makes its return to Costa Coffee stores.

This indulgent treat features a rich chocolate and orange muffin filled with chocolate orange sauce.

It's topped with icing and crowned with a segment of Terry's Chocolate Orange, making it a festive favourite for those with a sweet tooth.

The muffin's combination of flavours and textures offers a luxurious twist on traditional Christmas treats, perfect for customers looking to indulge in seasonal flavours alongside their favourite Costa coffee.

Director of global food strategy and UKI food at Costa Coffee, Nishant Bhatia, commented: "We're excited to bring some Christmas magic to our customers a little earlier this year.

"Christmas is all about coming together with friends and family, and what better way to catch up than with a delightful festive sweet treat, perfectly paired with a Costa coffee."

This statement underscores Costa Coffee's commitment to creating festive experiences for its customers, emphasising the role of seasonal treats in bringing people together during the holiday period.

These festive treats are available for a limited time only, adding a sense of urgency for those eager to embrace the Christmas spirit early. Costa Coffee encourages customers to visit their nearest store to enjoy the new menu items.

To find the closest Costa Coffee location, customers can use the store locator on the company's website.

It comes weeks after the coffee chain launched its autumn menu, bringing a mix of returning favourites and exciting new offerings to stores nationwide.
