M&S customers asked the company to bring out Christmas sandwiches early, the firm did just that, with a whopping 1 million already sold so far.
The most Turkey Feast Sandwiches have been sold at the London Waterloo outlet, and customers in Norwich are embracing the flexitarian trend with the brand new Vegan Chestnut Roast Wrap.
Customers in Chester are warming up with festive Christmas drinks – whether it’s a Hot Chocolate Orange or Salted Caramel Latte, and Northern Irish customers love the Christmas Turkey Toastie - more have sold in the Lisburn store
cafee than any other.
The company has already raised £235,233 for its partner Shelter across the Food on the Move ranges. M&S Festive Collection for Shelter sales are already up 36% on last year and the firm is expecting sales to peak on Friday 15th December, the day after ‘Office Party Night’, as the nation seeks out festive hangover food.
Product Developer Helen Brennan, who is responsible for developing new and exciting products for the M&S Festive Collection for Shelter, commented, “Our customers look forward to the launch of our Christmas sandwiches all year as it signals the start of the festive season.
'This year we’ve got 25 new sandwiches, drinks and snacks for them to try, from our classic Turkey Feast to my favourite, the ultimate Mustard Crusted Rare Roast Beef Roll complete with Yorkshire pudding scraps! We’re also excited to be working with Shelter for the 12th year running, raising money to fund all calls answered by the helpline over Christmas.”
