Greggs has announced some sweet new additions to its Christmas menu, with a whole range of festive sweet treats hitting shops nationwide from today.
Greggs fans looking to get into the Christmas spirit can indulge in newly returned sweet festive favourites, including the traditional Christmas Cake Slice, packed full of delicious fruit and ground almonds, topped with a layer of apricot jam, almond marzipan and white icing.
Joining the menu are the Star Biscuit and Christmas Tree Biscuit, both coated in indulgent milk chocolate and decorated with sugar sprinkles for a satisfying sweet treat. The Christmas Bun, a delicious vanilla sponge dipped in fondant icing and topped off with sprinkles, also returns, and is available in a festive four pack that’s perfect for sharing with pals.
Those looking to increase their festive feels will be able to enjoy one of Greggs’ hot drink offerings alongside the purchase of a single sweet menu item as part of the Sweet Deal with a Regular Hot Drink Deal. Starting from £2.85, Greggs fans can pair one of the sweet menu items with a hot drink, including the Gingerbread Latte and Gingerbread Flat White, the Mint Hot Chocolate and Mint Mocha, and the Orange Hot Chocolate and Orange Mocha.
The new sweet treats join a range of festive favourites that came back to shops earlier this month, whose return was heralded by culinary icon Nigella Lawson in Greggs’ first ever Christmas ad. The festive menu announcement included the cherished Festive Bake – which Nigella described as a ‘rapturous riot of flavour’ – as well as the much-anticipated return of the sumptuous Vegan Festive Bake. The all-new Festive Flatbread also launched, alongside the return of the extravagant Christmas Lunch Baguette featuring everything you know and love about a Christmas roast, but in a tasty hot sandwich.
Other sweet treats on the Christmas menu, which were launched earlier this month, include the decadent new Toffee Fudge Muffin, the scrumptious Chocolate & Hazelnut Flavour Doughnut and the irresistible Mini Caramel Shortbread, alongside Sweet Mince pies.
All the festive menu items are available via Click+Collect on the Greggs App, which is free to download and gives access to a variety of tasty rewards. For every 9 purchases in different categories – from hot drinks to sandwiches, to bakes or sweet treats – app users can get one completely free.
New users of the Greggs App also receive a free hot drink of their choice upon registration, as well as a free sweet treat to celebrate their birthday each year.
