SHOPPERS are rushing to Marks and Spencer to get their hands on an unusual new Christmas treat.

M&S fans have called it “divine” and a “festive essential”.

Dubbed a “panettonut”, it is a fusion of panettone with a doughnut, and filled with a rich vanilla custard and rolled in sugar.

The festive treat costs £1.50 and is available from M&S food halls now.

You can find your nearest branch by using the locator tool on the retailer’s website.

M&S fans are loving it after the supermarket shared a picture of the panettonuts on Instagram.

In a caption alongside the image, M&S wrote: “Calling all festive foodies… check out the latest in our famous hybrid bakery treats.

“The ultimate fusion you didn’t know you needed…our epic new Panettonut combines panettone with a doughnut.”

Shoppers were quick to respond, with many keen to try the new treat.

One shopper said: “Oh my goodness, this sounds divine.”

While another added: “This is what I need.”

And a third wrote: “This is so festive and looks amazing.”

The Sun couldn’t find panettonut on sale at any other supermarket.

Marks and Spencer has really been getting into the festive spirit, with a whole range of Christmas treats popping up in stores.

Last month, the supermarket brought back its seasonal snow globe gins.

There are two flavours this year – clementine and spiced sugar plum.

Customers can pick up the tipple for just £16 – that’s £4 less than last Christmas when it would have set you back £20.

M&S has also come out with a chocolate mini whips advent calendar – the perfect way to countdown to Christmas.

But some other retailers have also been getting on the festive fun.

Shoppers have been going wild for a giant Asda mince pie.

The product is on sale for £4.50 and weighs in at 485g – a whopping 1,806 calories.

And B&M is selling a Lindor advent calendar at a bargain price.
