Marks & Spencer is tapping into diners’ obsession with brunch by releasing its first-of-a-kind ‘breakfast party food range’ range filled with croissants, pancakes and scones.

The British retailer has cashed into foodies’ penchant for the middtime meal just in time for Christmascounting on shoppers to cater for seasonal gatherings other than the big, Yuletide meal on the 25th.

Products – which range from £5.50 to £7.50 apiece – include elevated classics, such as the Hot Smoked Salmon Rostis and the Hash Brown Topple Tower.

Elsewhere, Yankee-style Maple Bacon Pancake Stacks are on offer, as well as continental-style Mini Ham and Cheese Croissants.

And leaning further into the holiday spirit, the shop has also come out with the second half of its festive selections, including Snowman Bao Buns that feature a Pad Thai vegetable filling – and Tempura Prawns served with a ponzu dip.

Other new ‘picky bits’ for the festive spread include Chicken Tikka Masala-Topped Naans, Extra Mature Barber’s Cheddar and Ham Scones, and Caramelised Onion and Goats Cheese Tartlets.

For guests with dietary requirements, there are gluten-free Mini Pecorino and Chorizo Tortillas that are ‘perfectly paired with the versatile red wine’.

M&S’s latest offerings are also leaning into the ‘mini’ food trend, which according to its Autumn Trend Report for 2025has been a hit online.

Social media users have been delighted with the reaction, with many already admitting they have stocked up on items in their freezer.

In the comment section of the retailer’s Instagram post, several were also excitedly making plans for their Christmas Day breakfast.

‘As the home of party food and picky bits M&S Food is redefining Christmas get togethers, offering customers a delicious new way to start their celebrations,’ the supermarket revealed.

‘With party food sales already up on last year, the timing couldn’t be better for this exciting new launch.

‘All M&S party food is now available on an amazing 4 for 3 offer, so you can taste the whole lot for less.’
