Marks and Spencer reveals full Christmas food line-up – and some fan favourites will be BACK on shelves

Marks and Spencer has revealed its Christmas food range in full – and there’s plenty of reason to embrace the holiday spirit early on.

The 2023 festive line-up includes Christmas-themed versions of M&S classics, such as Colin the Caterpillar and Percy Pig – and the Very Merry Munch.

Customers will also see the return of light up and musical biscuit and chocolate boxes, which were a huge hit for those searching for the perfect present last year.

The supermarket is introducing a Christmas Day dinner box for £45, which takes just an hour to cook and includes turkey and all the trimmings.

And, of course, M&S is back with a range of delicious party foods, such as snowman-themed vegan bao buns and the classic mince pie.

M&S has unveiled its Christmas collection for 2023 – and it’ll get you in the festive spirit even though the big day is three months away. Pictured: Cookie, shortbread and Swiss truffle tins

Photographs from the launch, which took place in London on Thursday, also picture a colourful chocolate wreath, laden with candy-coated chocolates and popcorn.

There is also a selection of chocolate baubles, and a snowy Percy Pig tin house.

M&S has a huge variety of food gift items, with one biscuit tin – full of shortbread – lighting up to project a Christmas night scene on your ceiling.

The Starry Night Shortbread Selection Tin was a hit last year.

The beloved Very Merry Much – a mixture of chocolate, popcorn and pretzels – is also back for 2023, with another version – the Very Jelly Munch – containing jellybeans too.

These will both retail for £9. 

M&S has confirmed that its Christmas range will begin to appear in stores from September 26 – though you might be able to spot some items already.

Among the treats you can enjoy this Christmas are Irish Cream liqueurs in both tiramisu and millionaire's shortbread flavour
