M&S launching Christmas Jumper Colin the Caterpillar Cake just in time for festive season

Colin the Caterpillar has had an incredible festive upgrade just in time for cosy szn, having been given his very own Christmas jumper.

Colin is, of course, M&S’ iconic caterpillar pal, who is often seen at birthday parties in the form of a delicious chocolate cake.

Over the years, we’ve seen various offshoot products, but there’s no denying that the sweet sponge roll filled with chocolate buttercream and coated in milk chocolate is him at his best.

Well, from 13 December, you’ll be able to get your mitts on the Christmas Jumper Colin the Caterpillar Cake, which sees the beloved treat wrapped up in his very own festive top.

Costing £12 for a 660g cake, it’ll make the perfect addition to any Christmas gathering this year... even if the party just involves you and a fork.

M&S

"He’s been an ice skater, he’s been an elf, now – influenced by customers - Colin is getting cosy in his favourite M&S Christmas jumper!” M&S said in a press release.

“Our OG extremely chocolatey sponge roll is filled with chocolate buttercream and smothered in milk chocolate, before being dressed to impress.”

Kathryn Turner, M&S Food Director of Product Development, added: “Christmas really is the most wonderful time of the year… and this Christmas we have over 500 brilliant products for shoppers to enjoy.

“We have developed the range with customers at the heart ensuring we bring them that M&S magic. This year's party food range really brings the fun, with brighter colours and even bolder flavours!

“My absolute favourite has to be the Collection Pulled Beef & Potato Rosti Towers – divine! To wash it down our Marks & Sparkle sparkling white and sparkling rosé come complete with 22-carat edible gold leaf, it couldn’t be more festive.”
