If you’re anything like us, the Pret Christmas sandwich marks a turn in the year and signifies the start of us officially allowing ourselves to feel festive. Yep, it's that time again. Pret has launched its full Christmas sandwich menu for 2024, boasting several returning favourites as well as a handful of new and exclusive festive options.
At this most festive time of year, Pret always has lots of Christmas goodies to see us through to Christmas Day. This year's lineup promises to still feature plenty of old favourites (hello pigs in blankets hot roll) as well as a handful of new and exclusive festive options. Get ready for a new spin on the hog roast mac and cheese, (yes, really) as well as tons of festive options for our plant-based pals too, including a brand new vegan sarnie for Christmas 2024.
Once again, Pret is going that little step further this Christmas, promising a 50p donation from every Christmas Lunch Sandwich and Very Merry Sandwich sold to the Pret Foundation. The foundation is a charity committed to breaking the cycle of homelessness, hunger and poverty. Working with shelters and communities, the foundation distributes food to those who need it most, provides training and even financial grants to grassroots charities tackling homelessness.
The news follows the release of Starbucks' Christmas menu and Costa’s Christmas menu, both of which have already shared their festive offering for this season and include a selection of Christmas coffees, hot chocolates, sandwiches and sweet treats. Greggs has also jumped on the bandwagon this year, which you can find out more about in our guide to the Greggs festive bake 2024.
If Pret is your go-to coffee shop of choice, then take a look at what’s new and what’s returning on its Christmas menu for 2024.

What food is on the Pret Christmas sandwich menu?
There are some cracking new additions when it comes to food this year, including a new vegan sandwich! There's also quite a few familiar faces returning to the shelves for 2024. Think: the classic Christmas sandwich and *that* pigs in blankets roll.
NEW: Very Merry Lunch Sandwich
The latest plant-based sarnie, you'll find all your favourite roast veggies in this one from chargrilled carrots to pickled cabbage. Add some of Pret's iconic Port and orange cranberry sauce, a sweet potato and chickpea stuffing, and, of course, a few crispy onions, for the ultimate vegan feast.
NEW: Brie & Caramelised Onion Toastie
French brie and mature cheddar hit a nicely toasted seeded bloomer, all bound with a caramelised onion chutney for added sweetness.

NEW: Chicken Festive Feast
For those who like to keep things classic, this new sandwich is packed full of British chicken breast, chargrilled carrots, pickled cabbage, topped off with a healthy spread of sage mayo and a handful of crispy onions - all nicely stuffed between two slices of malted bread.
NEW: Hog Roast Macaroni Cheese
This isn't the first year that Pret has launched a hog roast inspired macaroni cheese, but this year's edition features pulled ham, caramelised onion chutney and comes smothered in crispy panko breadcrumbs - the perfect comfort food for cold winter nights.
NEW: Christmas Ham Hock Soup
Something to warm the soul throughout December, this new festive soup is made with smoked ham, split peas and plenty of veggies, simmered in a sage and bay leaf broth.
Christmas Lunch Sandwich & Baguette
The much-loved Pret Christmas sando is back for another year, generously-stuffed with turkey, Port and orange cranberry sauce, pork stuffing, spinach and a sprinkling of crispy onions.
Brie, Pistachio & Cranberry Baguette
Arguably the best year-round veggie sandwich from Pret, this one comes with roasted pistachios, peppery rocket and a thick slab of creamy brie, all wrapped up in a stone-baked baguette.

Pigs in Blankets Hot Roll
Pork wrapped in pork wrapped in bread. You can't go wrong. Laced with a touch of mustard mayo and caramelised onion chutney.
Boxing Day Toastie
A close second favourite for us, this hearty toastie packs in turkey, ham, pork stuffing, caramelised onion chutney and sage mayo. Pure heaven when freshly toasted.
Sweeter additions this year include a whole host of returning favourites. For fans of last year’s treats, Melvin the Melting Snowman Gingerbread Cookie returns alongside tiffin and, of course, mince pies.
What drinks are on the 2024 Pret Christmas menu?
A new drink has landed this year, and it's not to be missed! Plus, a couple of fan-favourites have returned this year to a warm reception.
![pret pecan latte and festive hot chocolate]()
NEW: Kamilla’s Maple Pecan Latte
Created by Kamilla, Pret’s Barista Champion of 2024, this festive treat adds maple syrup and toasted pecan notes to your morning coffee.
Caramelised Almond Latte
Like the above, but with buttery caramel and almond flavours instead, because who doesn’t love a bit of caramel at Christmas?
Festive Orange Hot Chocolate
Because nothing quite says Christmas like a chocolate orange. This rich and creamy drink brings festive spices and that classic orangey goodness, all topped off with lashings of whipped cream.
Gingerbread Latte
Fast becoming an iconic Christmas drink, the Pret Gingerbread Latte is back, complete with gingerbread syrup, whipped cream and a little dusting of cinnamon.
