Marks & Spencer Unveils Christmas Party Food Range Ahead of Launch

Marks & Spencer has revealed its Christmas party food collection, set to launch in stores and online on October 14. The initial offering includes new additions such as Prawn Toast Cones and Firecracker Vegetable Fritters, alongside popular items like Fish & Chip Bites.

The new Prawn Toast Cones are described as hand-wrapped crispy cones filled with Black Tiger prawns, ginger, and spring onions, finished with sesame seeds and served with a sweet chili dip. The Firecracker Vegetable Fritters are a spicy option served with a sweet and spicy sauce. Both new items are priced at £7.50 and £5.50 respectively.

Returning favorites in the collection include Brie & Cranberry Tartlets, Crispy Duck Spring Rolls, Jalapeño Poppers, and Fish & Chip Bites. The Brie & Cranberry Tartlets feature a filling of Loire Valley brie and a cranberry and port sauce, while the Crispy Duck Spring Rolls contain shredded British duck in a golden pastry with a hoisin dip. The Jalapeño Poppers are filled with cream cheese, and the Fish & Chip Bites consist of battered fish coated in a skinny-chip crust, served with a pea and mint crush.

This initial release comprises six items, with M&S planning to introduce more Christmas favorites in November. The launch coincides with the return of the retailer's four-for-three party food offer, aimed at helping customers assemble festive spreads.

The M&S Christmas party food range will be available in M&S Foodhalls and online via Ocado.com starting October 14.
