M&S Christmas food 2024: products, food to order and more

Marks & Spencer’s Christmas food range is a hotly anticipated release each year, with M&S fans keen to get their hands on the limited-edition goodies before they sell out.

The much-loved supermarket is well-known for creating innovative products when it comes to seasonal specials, and this year's Christmas range is no different. The luxury supermarket has released a wealth of Christmas products for 2024, from new creations to old favourites, including a range of party food, sweets and desserts, as well as its 'Best Ever' slow-cooked turkey that promises foolproof, succulent results every time. 

The supermarket has even opened its pre-order slots one day earlier than last year, with people able to book a slot for collection from 24 September 2024 - the first of all its competitors. That means that any early birds out there looking to get organised can order their full festive feast up to three months in advance if they like. 

The supermarket has promised, yet again, another year of exciting products from the M&S Christmas food range for 2024, and you can find a few of our favourites from this year's selection below. From a turkey and stuffing pie to a mouth-watering salted caramel tiramisu cheesecake. Have a browse, and make sure to check out the FAQs below for all our answers to your burning questions this year.

M&S Christmas food to buy

M&S has revealed a few exciting items in its Christmas food to buy range this year, from a beautiful musical cookie tin to retro American-inspired sweet treats. Find out which products have already hit the shelves.

Santa’s Workshop Light Up Tin

Imagine being gifted this beautiful light up tin for Christmas! Decorated in a magical Santa’s workshop scene – featuring signs to the north pole and elves busy making presents – this richly illustrated tin is filled with star-shaped chocolate chip shortbread stars made with proper butter. It also plays a Christmassy tune via an enchanting wind-up mechanism. What can’t this tin do?

Caramel & Almond Muddles

What’s a muddle, you ask? These American-inspired treats feature mounds of chewy salted caramel and roasted whole almonds, all covered in a thick layer of dark chocolate. You won't be able to stop at just one. 

Peppermint Bark

M&S has elevated this retro sweet by fusing two layers of Swiss dark and white chocolate infused with peppermint oil, then sprinkling with crunchy candy cane rubble. The result is a refreshing, crunchy treat that’s perfect for rounding off your Christmas dinner with.

Collection Mince Pies

Mince pie season is officially upon us! Naturally, M&S has pulled out the stops with its signature Collection Mince Pies in 2024. They’re filled with all the good stuff – brandy, cognac and dried fruits – plus a crack of black pepper for an addictive savoury finish. Even the pastry has had an upgrade this year, using Wildfarmed flour for a more crumbly texture.

Hot Honey Popcorn

Munch your way through this hot honey popcorn while watching your favourite Christmas films. Honey coated kernels are infused with flecks of chilli for a dash of heat and paired with crunchy chocolate-covered honeycomb pieces. It’s impossible not to eat the whole bag!
