Christmas has come early for M&S shoppers – quite literally.
The retailer has just revealed that hundreds of new and improved items being added to the Foodhall on September 10, with more than 400 new and upgraded products.
They’ve shared a look at some of the top pics from the selection, with numerous fan favourites returning as well as new twists on classics.
And while some of us might still be clinging on to the final days of summer, Marks & Spencer is already looking ahead to December 25, releasing a selection of sweets that’ll be perfect for the winter months.
To kick things off, there’s a new Peanut Butter & Jelly version of the popular Merry Munch tin (£10), which will feature a mixture of milk chocolate peanut butter cups, fruit flavoured jellies, salted pretzels, milk chocolate coated popcorn, salted caramel and white chocolate coated peanuts and white chocolate malt balls.
And with one of the OG tins selling every 10 seconds, we bet this will prove popular too.
Peppermint Bark (£10) is also back for Christmas 2025, as well as Chocolate Gnomes filled with Pistachio (£5), Peanut Butter Reindeer (£1), Shortbread Christmas Trees (£1.65), Chocolate and Cinnamon Tortilla Rolls (£3) and Maple Bacon Combo Mix crisps (£2.30).
Those who love all things peppermint will be excited to learn that M&S is also introducing Peppermint and Double Chocolate Cookie Dunkers (£3.65) to the festive line-up, and fans of all things sweet and spicy can try new Hot Maple Popcorn.
Speaking of, M&S is saying goodbye to the Hot Honey trend and ushering in Hot Maple Syrup (£5) as the next big thing. They say it takes pancakes to the ‘next dimension’ and is going to be a big theme throughout the FoodHall over the next few months.
And there’s also another sweet and savoury sauce hitting the shops, with a brand new Marmite Caramel Sauce (£3). Yes, you read that right. MARMITE.
‘Whether you love it or hate it, you have to try it. Trust us, it works. Drizzle over toast, waffles or croissants – your brunch game is about to be taken next level,’ a spokesperson for M&S says.
Marmite is also making its way into the bakery section, with the release of Pecan and Salted Caramel Blondies with a hint of Marmite (£5).
These feature a nutty pecan tiffin, that’s infused with a little Marmite and layered with a fudgy white chocolate blondie and a swirl of salted caramel sauce.
But perhaps the most exciting of all is the news that the viral Gingerbread & White Chocolate cookies are also making a comeback.
Hailed on social media as ‘phenomenal’, ‘dreamy’ and ‘amazing’, the cookies went viral when they launched in the M&S bakery last year, selling out daily and proving difficult to get hold of for many customers.
If you missed out, you’ve got another chance to get hold of them for £3.25 for a pack of four, with the retailer urging people to ‘run, don’t walk’.
Other new items dropping in the Foodhall include new Peanut Butter & Jelly Spread, Jolly Jellies, Tiramisu Irish Cream Liqueur, plus a Seville Orange Marmalade Gin Martini Cocktail.
If this weren’t enough, M&S has also been teasing the launch of some brand new biscuits on social media, which we’ll have to keep our eyes peeled for this week as well.
Keen to try them? Thankfully, you don’t have to wait very long to be put out of your misery as all of these new and returning items will be available to shop in-store from September 10.
And these aren’t the only new food launches to get excited about.
Sainsbury’s recently introduced a twist on the classic chocolate bourbon biscuit, with a new chocolate orange flavour.
Similarly, Aussie favourite, Tim Tam, has unveiled a new white chocolate flavour in the UK.
Aldi is now offering gender reveal Cuthbert cakes and McDonald’s has a brand new sandwich on its breakfast menu.
