Greggs has announced the highly anticipated return of its Festive Bake, much to the delight of fans who won’t have to wait much longer. The bakery chain has revealed that its Christmas menu will be available in stores starting next Thursday, November 6. For those unfamiliar, the Festive Bake is a delectable treat filled with chicken, sage and onion stuffing, bacon, and smothered in a creamy sage and cranberry sauce.
According to Greggs, the Festive Bake is a quintessential part of the holiday season, signaling the start of the Christmas countdown. They liken it to the traditional pair of socks in your stocking or the office party that always gets a bit wild – Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without it.
Also making a comeback is the Vegan Lattice (Festive Edition), formerly known as the Vegan Festive Bake. This vegan option features savory Quorn mycoprotein pieces, sage and onion stuffing, vegan bacon, and a finishing touch of cranberry and red onion sauce.
In addition to these popular choices, Greggs will be offering the Hot Christmas Lunch Baguette, providing a convenient on-the-go Christmas dinner experience with chicken, stuffing, bacon, melted cheddar, cranberry relish, and onion gravy. The Hot Festive Flatbread, featuring sage and onion chicken mayo, bacon, and cranberry relish, will also be back on the festive menu.
For those with a sweet tooth, a variety of festive treats will be available, including the Christmas Cake Slice, Gingerbread Muffin, Chocolate & Hazelnut Doughnut, and Christmas Mini Caramel Shortbreads.
To keep customers warm during the winter months, Greggs is introducing a range of festive hot drinks, including the Mint Mocha, Mint Hot Chocolate, Gingerbread Latte, and Salted Caramel Latte, with the latte options also available over ice.
In other news, Greggs has adjusted prices on some menu items due to increased costs. The bakery chain has raised prices on its breakfast deals, with the two-part breakfast deal now priced at £3.15 and the three-part breakfast deal at £4.15. Additionally, certain baked goods like the empire biscuit have seen a 5p increase in price.
With these festive offerings and adjustments, Greggs continues to cater to its loyal customers while adapting to market changes.
