Marks & Spencer launches brand new products including a drink described as 'Christmas in a cup'
M&S has added more products ahead of Christmas
PA/M&S
Marks & Spencer has launched its Christmas party food range earlier than usual this year, with over 40 bite-sized options now available in stores. A new Christmas tea has also attracted attention.
The range includes brand-new and returning items and is currently on a 4 for 3 offer, allowing shoppers to stock up early.
While it may seem early for some, M&S reports that more than two-thirds of customers have already started planning for the festive season.
Director of product development at M&S Food Kathryn Turner said: "Whether it's party food, mince pies, panettone, desserts, condiments or tea and coffee – our Foodhalls are now stocked ready for your early festive food hauls."
Among the new offerings, M&S has introduced Patatas Bravas Stacks, a party food version of the Spanish favourite. The collection also includes the return of Our Best Ever Prawn Toast and new Mini Steak Sandwiches. All party food items can be cooked at 180C for easy preparation.
