Greggs adds four items to Christmas menus TODAY – but festive favourite based on classic festive chocolate is missing
GREGGS is adding four new items to its Christmas menu today – but a festive favourite based on a classic chocolate is missing.
The beloved bakery announced that the brand-new treats, along with a returning classic, will be available in store and online.
They include a star-shaped ginger biscuit, which is covered in milk chocolate and decorated with sugar sprinkles for £1.25.
The winter-spiced snack can alternatively be bought as a four-pack for £3.15.
Also joining the selection is a Christmas tree-shaped biscuit in the same flavour – and for the same price.
A brand-new Christmas bun will be available too – a vanilla bun dipped in fondant icing and topped with sprinkles along with a festive sugar paste decoration.
These are going for a modest £1 each – or £3.15 in a four-pack.
And, lovers of the Christmas Cake Slice can breathe a sigh of relief as the festive classic makes a return for £1.30 a slice.
The dried fruit cake is topped with a layer of apricot jam, almond marzipan and white icing.
All four menu items can be enjoyed as part of Greggs‘ Sweet Treat Deal – which gets you a sweet treat and a hot drink for £2.85.
Customers can choose from a range of Christmassy hot drinks to accompany their snack – including gingerbread-flavoured coffees, a mint hot chocolate and an orange hot chocolate.
However, a festive favourite based from last year’s menu is nowhere to be seen.
The Terry’s Chocolate Orange muffin was a hit with customers last Christmas, with one describing it on X as “banging”.
Another said: “Yesterday I got myself a Greggs festive bake but it was the chocolate orange muffin that won.”
Luckily, chocolate orange lovers can still get their hands on a Terry’s flavoured muffin at competitor Costa.
The £3.60 cake is filled with a chocolate-orange sauce in the centre, with a segment of the iconic treat placed on top.
The menu additions aren’t the only festive surprise by Greggs this year, as the bakery also put out its first-ever Christmas advert – featuring Nigella Lawson.
The ad showed Nigella trying various items from the Christmas menu in her kitchen.
