Marks & Spencer (M&S) has unveiled its 2025 Christmas food-to-order menu, designed to simplify festive hosting for families and guests. The menu offers a variety of ready-to-collect dishes, including starters, main courses, side dishes, and desserts. Customers can pick up their meals from 22 to 24 December, with some stores opening on 21 December. This year’s menu includes several new items, such as a thermidor en croutes made with lobster, king prawns, and scallops, as well as dressed Canadian lobster and king prawn shells, and a wild salmon and smoked trout paté from the Tom Kerridge range. These dishes are part of a broader collection that aims to cater to a range of tastes and dietary preferences. Main courses on the menu include a turkey crown filled with Italian chestnut, pancetta, and Calabrian orange stuffing, along with salmon, beef, and seafood centrepieces for those looking for alternative options. For vegetarian and vegan diners, M&S has introduced dishes like a butternut squash, brie, and caramelised onion Wellington, and a no turkey crown, which is a meat-free version of the traditional centerpiece. Traditional side dishes are also available, such as goose fat potatoes, pigs in blankets with Italian chestnut stuffing, and British heritage carrots, offering a nostalgic touch for many holiday meals. The dessert selection includes a new Colin the caterpillar-themed yule log, a Black Forest gateau, and a snow much fun chocolate mousse cabin, which is shaped like a small cabin and decorated to look like a snowy landscape. Gluten-free options are also available, ensuring that those with dietary restrictions can enjoy the festive meal without compromise. To ensure a smooth experience, M&S recommends booking early, as slots for the food-to-order service have filled up quickly in previous years. The minimum spend for the service is £50, making it an ideal option for those planning a special Christmas dinner.
