Greggs is wishing an early "Merry Christmas" with the launch of its 2024 festive menu. The bakery chain will welcome nine festive items in a matter of days.
The new seasonal offering will include the Festive Bake and Vegan Festive Bake, plus a variety of savouries and drinks.
Greggs told customers: "Tis the season for stomach-rumbling and mouth-watering new additions to our menu.
"From returning fan-favourites to a new lighter lunchtime bite, we’ve got a bit of naughty and a bit of nice for whichever mood you’re in."
'Hands down the most Christmassy thing about Christmas'

Greggs fans will be able to snap up the Festive Bake, described by the bakery chain as "hands down the most Christmassy thing about Christmas" - think crumb-topped pastry, chicken, sage and onion stuffing and sweetcure bacon, covered in a creamy sage and cranberry sauce.
Vegans can enjoy the meat-free alternative, the Vegan Festive Bake, as a "holly jolly Christmas comeback".
Customers can expect puff pastry filled with savoury flavour Quorn, mycoprotein pieces, sage and onion stuffing balls and vegan bacon, finished with a cranberry and red onion sauce.
The Christmas Lunch Baguette promises "everything you love about a festive roast dinner, but without the faff of cooking it".
Customers can get into the Christmas spirit by sinking their teeth into a sarnie filled with chicken, sage and onion stuffing, sweetcure bacon, cheddar cheese, cranberry and red onion relish and onion gravy.
As the days get increasingly colder, Greggs fans will be happy to get their hands on the chain's festive beverages.

The Gingerbread Latte, Gingerbread Flat White, Mint Mocha and Mint Hot Chocolate will all be available to warm the nation's tastebuds.
Greggs added: "Still in your Salted Caramel era? You’re in luck. Our Orange and Salted Caramel hot drinks are brewing all through the festive season so you can sip into Christmas with your faves."

In partnership with Greggs, Nigella Lawson took to Instagram to unveil this year's festive finds.
Her caption read: "Much as I love Christmas, I don’t usually start celebrating quite this early! This, however, is a special occasion. I was invited to be part of Greggs' festivities this year and, as a longtime fan of their aptly acclaimed Sausage Rolls, I jumped at the chance.
"So, from a fairylight-festooned kitchen - what I like to think of as the Greggs' Christmas Grotto – I bring glad tidings: the Greggs Festive Bakes, along with their Christmas Menu, is a go-go from this Thursday 7th. I thought you’d like to know now - I certainly couldn’t keep it from you any longer!"
Greggs will launch a second menu later this month, promising a "range of tasty sweet treats".
For those who are already in the festive spirit, Aldi has launched new savoury mince pies to kickstart the season, available in stores now.
Earlier this year, GB News tasted the meaty and vegan Greggs Sausage Rolls to determine the best one.
