Last year’s Christmas menu saw Brits go wild as Greggs brought back its popular festive bake and salted caramel latte.
But will they be on the menu this year? We explain all we know about Greggs Christmas menu so far – and when you can grab your snacks from shops.
What’s on Greggs’ Christmas menu?
Greggs has announced the “first phase” of its Christmas menu.
It hasn’t released details of the second phase – but we’ve asked for more information on what snacks will be launched at a later date and when.
Under the first phase of its Christmas menu, Greggs will be launching six Christmas products.
First up, the chain’s pigs under blankets baguette has returned once again.
It costs £3.20 and includes sausages, bacon, sage and onion stuffing, and cranberry and port sauce – coming in at 571 calories.
Fancy something a bit lighter? You might want to try the Christmas lunch soup, which includes bacon, sausage, chicken, turkey, stuffing, vegetables, herbs and spices.
It’s 159 calories and will set you back at least £2.
For those with a sweet tooth, mince pies have hit the menu too.
You can get one for 50p, a pack of six from £1.75, or two packs for £3 – and they are 281 calories each.
To wash your lunch down, you can choose from a selection of three festive hot drinks.
First up is the mint mocha topped with cream and chocolate sprinkles.
It costs £1.95 and will set you back 303 calories.
You can bag a mint hot chocolate too, which is also topped with cream and chocolate sprinkles.
It costs from £1.95 and calorie counters will want to know it will set you back 288 calories.
The salted caramel latte has also made a return.
It costs £1.95 and comes in at 223 calories – and is topped with whopped cream and salted caramel flavoured sugar.
