Even though it's only September, Marks and Spencer is already encouraging shoppers to embrace the festive spirit. The retailer has unveiled its food and drink range for Christmas 2024. As a self-confessed food snob during the festive season, I always look forward to the delicious offerings from M&S, especially their tasty treats, charcuterie boards, nibbles, and main course items.
Every year, numerous major supermarkets launch their own Christmas ranges, each vying for customers with their unique takes on festive fare. Other supermarkets offer food to order including Sainsbury's who already have a number of items available to pre-order, including turkeys and turkey crowns and a Two Bone Tomahawk Beef Steak . Asda will also have 540 products to choose from this Christmas.
This year, Marks and Spencer has added over 450 items to its Christmas range. There's something to cater to everyone's tastes, whether you're a meat lover, vegan, gluten-free, or just fussy. There's also plenty to keep the children amused and well-fed, reports the Manchester Evening News .
Earlier this week, MEN writer Rachel Pugh had the privilege of sampling everything that will be available for Christmas 2024 in Marks and Spencer food halls. And when she says everything, she means EVERYTHING. She said she indulged so much at the M&S Christmas food and drink showcase that she thought she'd'd have to be rolled out of the food hall.
However, she managed to narrow down all the options to my top ten picks. Rach.
