Tried & Tested – Marks and Spencer’s Christmas 2018

Marks and Spencers is synonymous with Christmas. Many of us get our extra special Christmas treats from the 134 year old high street staple.   The 2018 M&S Christmas range is sure to be a hit.

Just in time for the Christmas Party Season, M&S have launched their brand new range of cocktails in a can. Perfect for a little treat on the way to visit friends and family and a simple way to show off when entertaining at home. The range includes Pina Colada, Mojitos and Cosmopolitan’s. We would personally recommend the Porn Star Martini and the Blackberry Gin Bramble. Priced at just £2 these offer excellent value for money with no compromise on taste.

M&S have a fabulous range of foodie gifts also – take for example their Marc De Champagne Truffles. These come in a stunning Purple and Gold Ceramic Pot and look far more expensive than their RRP of £8. They are decadent and divine – perfect as a treat for yourself or others. In addition to this are the stunningly light and tasty Prosecco Marshmallows. Packaged in a beautiful gold pillow box, they scream Christmas luxury.

For those holding a party over the festive period – M&S have everything you need. From Yakatori Skewers (Gluten Free) to Duck Spring Rolls there is something for everyone. What is great about the M&S party range is so much of it is Gluten/ Dairy free and so any dietary requirement can be easily catered for. Some of our favourite pieces were the Cheese and Bacon Rosti Towers – delicious and look brilliant on a platter.  All party food from M&S cooks at the same temperature so no need for kitchen based panic!

Other favourites included the Tempura Prawns ( a party staple!) and the Lobster Mac & Cheese. The Lobster Mac & Cheese is bang on trend for the party season and are served perfectly in individual cups.

The Christmas pudding range from M&S is always outstanding however this year they appear to have gone beyond the traditional puddings and really stepped it up a notch. Available this year is Christmas Post Box Cake that really stands out from the crowd and is sure to be a hit with children and adults alike. The Collection Golden Chocolate Sponge Pudding is a real showstopper and is absolutely delicious – one we would highly recommend.

Also available are Chocolate Pine Cones, Belgian Chocolate and Cherry Pudding and Jolly & Holly Chocolate and Salted Caramel Snowmen.

M&S have gone all out for their 2018 range with an excellent range of products. An extra special mention is due for the level of care to those with allergies – we were really impressed.

The range of M&S Party food is available here. You can also order your Christmas meats, mains and sides online. There are options for vegan and vegetarian options also. Click and Collect is available until 15/12/2018 so get your orders in soon.
