"Watch Santa’s helpers prepare for Christmas with the help of some magical mirrors, then tuck into the melt-in-the-mouth chocolate chip cookie stars as you listen to its festive tune.
"Guaranteed to delight big and little kids alike, this tin is a must-have on any Christmas wish list."
The tin is designed to make a great keepsake or Christmas decoration that can be proudly displayed year after year, and customers quickly commented on the product.
One shopper said: "I absolutely love the Christmas tins you bring out every year, I have loads all over the house when I decorate for the festive season - another won't hurt."
Another posted, "oh I love it. More, more, more", while a third said, "managed to get this already! Love it so much".
Although Christmas is still three months away, many customers were happy to get into the spirit already.
One said: "Love this, it's never too early to get something like this."
However, other Britons were not so sure. One wrote: "Can we finish summer please?" to which another replied, "agreed".
A third said, "far too early, M&S" and another exclaimed, "I've not even been on my summer holiday yet".
