M&S unveils Christmas Food to Order collection for 2026
M&S has unveiled its Christmas Food to Order collection for 2026, with customers now able to pick up the festive magazine in stores and begin planning their celebrations
Print6 October 2026
The new collection brings together a range of showstopping centrepieces, festive favourites and indulgent treats, designed to make Christmas entertaining easier while delivering the quality customers expect from M&S.
The retailer’s Christmas Food to Order range includes everything from traditional turkey and all the trimmings to vegetarian centrepieces, indulgent desserts and premium party food.
According to M&S, 76% of customers define luxury as high-quality food that is quick and easy to prepare, a trend reflected throughout this year’s collection.
Showstopping centrepieces
Among the highlights is the Collection Beef Wellington, featuring a quality fillet of beef encased in mushroom duxelle and wrapped in all-butter pastry.
The centrepiece is designed to make entertaining straightforward, requiring customers only to heat it through before serving.
Irish-Reared Turkeys
Traditional Christmas fare also features strongly, with M&S’s fresh turkeys reared in Ireland by its network of M&S select farmers.
Prices start from €42, giving customers the option to plan ahead for one of the centrepieces of the Christmas meal.
Premium festive favourites
The retailer is also showcasing its Heritage Gold pork, described as its most succulent pork yet, alongside its signature pigs in blankets.
Each pig in blanket is double-wrapped in a whole rasher of dry-cured bacon, adding an extra indulgent touch to a Christmas dinner staple.
For seafood lovers, Caledonian Gold salmon is sourced from the waters off Scotland’s West Coast, Orkney and Shetland Islands, selected for its flavour and texture.
Festive picky bits and gifts
Beyond the main Christmas meal, the magazine also features a selection of festive picky bits and gift ideas.
The range is designed to help shoppers prepare for the wider Christmas period, from entertaining and party food to presents for family and friends.
Orders open for Christmas
Customers can place their Christmas Food to Order selections in advance, with orders scheduled for collection on 23–24 December.
The advance ordering service is designed to help shoppers get ahead of the traditional Christmas rush, while ensuring their festive favourites are ready to cook and serve.
The M&S Christmas Food to Order magazine is available in stores now, while customers can explore the range online here.
