M&S Christmas sandwiches are back for 2026 and there are some delicious new festive treats to try

There are plenty of ways to tell that Christmas is on its way, from the first festive advert to the arrival of mince pies on supermarket shelves.

For many of us, however, the real countdown to Christmas begins with one very important lunch: that first festive sandwich.

Luckily, M&S has brought back its much-loved Christmas sandwiches and festive food on the move range, giving us the perfect excuse to get into the Christmas spirit right now.

Whether you're a traditional turkey fan, a lover of pigs in blankets, or prefer a cheesy festive filling, there's something to tempt you.

It's not just sandwiches on the menu either. M&S has also introduced a tempting selection of seasonal snacks, breakfast options and sweet treats, from roast turkey-flavoured crisps to hot maple popcorn. Essentially, your everyday lunch break is about to get a whole lot more Christmassy.

Even better, 5% of sales from every festive food-to-go product will go to Shelter, the charity supporting people experiencing homelessness or living in unsafe or unfit housing. So, alongside enjoying a little seasonal indulgence, your festive food purchase can help support an important cause.

Here’s the full festive line-up from Marks and Spencer this year. All are available to buy in-store or can be ordered online via Ocado.

Pigs in Blankets Sandwich

If your favourite part of Christmas dinner is the pigs in blankets, then this is the sandwich for you. The M&S Pigs in Blankets Sandwich brings together British pork sausage, smoked dry-cured British bacon, rich umami mayonnaise and port and onion chutney. For many, it can be described as the best bit of a festive roast between slices of bread. It’s available to buy now.

Brie and Grape Sandwich

Cheese lovers, this one's for you. Returning after years of customer requests, the M&S Brie and Grape Sandwich combines thick slices of French brie with sweet red grapes and rich cranberry chutney, all layered in oatmeal bread.

M&S has packed in even more brie this year, making this a particularly tempting option for anyone who loves the combination of creamy cheese and fruity festive flavours. It's a lovely alternative to the traditional Christmas sandwich, especially if you're partial to a cheeseboard at Christmas. You can pick one up now.

Turkey Feast Sandwich

Of course, no M&S Christmas sandwich line-up would feel complete without the classic Turkey Feast. For anyone who wants all the familiar flavours of Christmas dinner without having to wait until December 25, this returning favourite is the one to look out for. It's a festive lunchtime staple that captures the spirit of a traditional Christmas roast in sandwich form. Buy it now.

Christmas Club Sandwich

Available from October 28, the M&S Christmas Club Sandwich is another one for anyone who likes their lunch piled high with a variety of fillings. It features roast British chicken breast, maple-cured British bacon, festive red cabbage and sage and onion stuffing, layered between toasted oatmeal bread.

Made Without Wheat Turkey Feast Sandwich

Christmas food should be something everyone can enjoy, and M&S is catering for gluten-free shoppers with two festive sandwich options. The Made Without Wheat Turkey Feast brings together roast British turkey breast, smoked dry-cured British bacon and sage and onion stuffing, offering a festive alternative for those avoiding wheat. Available from October 28.

Made Without Brie and Cranberry Sandwich

Prefer a cheese-filled lunch? The Made Without Brie and Cranberry Sandwich combines creamy French brie with tangy cranberry chutney for a gluten-free take on a seasonal favourite. Buy from October 28.

Festive Pesto Chicken-cado

If you fancy something a little different from a traditional sandwich, the Festive Pesto Chicken-cado wrap could be worth trying. Also available from October 28, it features British roast chicken breast brined in turkey stock, creamy avocado, sage pesto mayonnaise, spinach and cos lettuce, all wrapped up in a soft piadina.

Butternut Believe It's Christmas Wrap

Plant-based foodies haven't been forgotten in the M&S 2026 Christmas food line-up either. The Butternut Believe It's Christmas Wrap is packed with seasoned butternut squash, cranberry and pine kernel stuffing, pickled red cabbage and basil pesto dressing. It's available from 28 October, so keep an eye out if you're looking to switch up your usual lunchtime order.

Of course, a festive lunch isn't just about the sandwich. Sometimes it's the little extras that make all the difference, whether that's a sweet treat to enjoy with your afternoon coffee or a seasonal snack to munch on your commute home. M&S has plenty of options for those moments when you fancy something a little more Christmassy.

Gingerbread Overnight Oats

Christmas flavours can even be enjoyed for breakfast with M&S. The M&S Gingerbread Overnight Oats bring warming gingerbread spice to your morning routine, with an impressive 21g of protein per serving.

Mini Colin the Caterpillar

Colin the Caterpillar has had a festive makeover. The M&S Mini Colin the Caterpillar features a chocolate sponge roll filled with buttercream, coated in milk chocolate and finished with a playful festive hat.

Hot Maple Popcorn

For something a little different, the M&S Hot Maple Popcorn promises a sweet, smoky and slightly spicy combination of rich maple flavour and warming heat. It's an intriguing twist on the usual popcorn flavours, making it a tempting option if you fancy a crunchy snack with a festive feel.

Roast turkey-flavoured crisps

If you prefer your festive flavours in savoury form, M&S is also bringing roast turkey-flavoured crisps to the Food on the Move range. They're another way to enjoy those familiar Christmas dinner flavours before the big day arrives, and would make a fitting accompaniment to one of the returning festive sandwiches.

If the arrival of festive sandwiches is one of your favourite signs that Christmas is approaching, M&S has plenty to get excited about this year.
