Marks and Spencer has unveiled its Christmas café menu, introducing the retailer's first-ever sweet toastie alongside a range of new festive drinks and cakes. The menu launched on November 4.
Sweet toastie and new drinks lead the range
The headline item is a sweet caramel apple toastie served with vanilla custard and a pot of caramel dipping sauce. It follows the success of the chain's viral strawberry sandwich, prompting a winter version.
New drinks include an iced caramel apple matcha latte with cold foam, a malt ball hot chocolate and a malt ball milkshake, described by the retailer as "the ultimate festive sweet treat", alongside a hot or iced butterscotch gingerbread latte.
Returning favourites and new savoury options
On the savoury side, a new French brie and cranberry toastie has joined the menu, and the slow-cooked beef Yorkshire pudding wrap is returning. According to the Mirror, these wraps first launched in 2024 and consist of a traditional giant Yorkshire pudding folded around rich Sunday roast-style fillings.
The turkey feast toastie has also returned, this year with an additional gravy dipping pot that can be added to any sandwich. A gluten-free turkey feast toastie and a turkey and beechwood smoked ham soup are also available.
New cakes and festive station
The café has introduced two brand new cakes: a clementine, cranberry and almond Bundt cake and a chocolate and orange muffin. The retailer also highlighted its Christmas cake station, which features the Rodney Reindeer Chocolate Cake.
Announcing the range on Instagram, M&S wrote: "For any Malt Ball fanatics, we've got both a Malt Ball Hot Chocolate and Malt Ball Milkshake- the ultimate festive sweet treat! And no trip to the café is complete without a stop at the Christmas cake station! Look out for our Rodney Reindeer Chocolate Cake!"
Customers have already responded enthusiastically to the announcement, with one person commenting: "I will genuinely eat all of this," and another writing: "Oh M&S, stop flirting with me."
