Halloween and Bonfire Night are looming, which means that, whether you like it or not, we'll soon be looking ahead to Christmas.
And no sooner have the pumpkin spice lattes hit menus, than some places are announcing their festive menus for the winter.
The latest place to confirm their Christmas offerings is Costa Coffee.
The popular cafe chain has revealed a whole host of products, including flavours both new and classic.
This includes the return of the much-loved Pigs & Blankets Toastie, which has become a festive favourite for customers in recent years.
The Turkey & Trimmings Toastie and Turkey Feast Sandwich will both also be returning, whilst the scrumptious Brie, Bacon and Chilli Jam Panini or the hearty Hog Roast Toastie will be available for the perfect Winter lunchtime bite.
This year will also seen the introduction of the brand new Brie & Cranberry Toastie. Oozing with brie, along with the sweetness of cranberry, all sandwiched between malted cranberry bread, it’s the ultimate comfort food for the festive period.
Those with a sweet tooth will have plenty of options to choose from, including the brand new Chocolate and Caramel Nutcracker Cake, made of rich layers of chocolate sponge, filled with caramel frosting, and topped with chocolate hazelnut frosting, creating "delicious flavours that on your taste buds like a scene from The Nutcracker," according to Costa.
Alternatively, you can enjoy the new Berry Red Velvet Mini Loaf, a chocolate and vanilla-flavoured mini loaf, with a luscious, gooey raspberry sauce centre.
And there's plenty of festive favourites returning on the drinks front as well, including the much-loved Gingerbread and Cream Latte, the Terry's Chocolate Orange Hot Chocolate and Black Forest Hot Chocolate.
New flavours for Christmas 2024 include the Festive Spice Latte, Caramel Nutcracker drinks and a Black Forest Frappe, for those of you who are after a cold drink to match the frosty temperatures.
Nishant Bhatia, Director of Global Food Strategy at Costa Coffee said: "We’re excited to unveil our delicious festive food range, packed with scrumptious savoury bites and delightful, sweet treats. Whether you’re taking a much-deserved break from the Christmas food shop, or shopping for the perfect gift, Costa Coffee is the go-to spot for a yummy lunchtime snack or a sweet pick-me-up, with a taste of the holiday season in every bite.”
