M&S Are Doing A Christmas Colin The Caterpillar And He Honestly Looks So Festive

Who doesn't love a Colin the Caterpillar cake on their birthday? Well now, the larvae-lookalike chocolate cake has had a makeover for Christmas too. Fun!

Yes, M&S has released a Christmas Colin as part of its festive menu for 2019, and we're fully impressed.

Covered in chocolate presents, snowflakes, holly and candy canes, Colin is looking to to trot for the festive season. He's even wearing a bold red Santa's hat and matching slippers - what's not to love?

Fans will be able to snap up a Christmas Colin for £10 when M&S drop the Christmas range in late October. Ideal for the office Xmas party or December birthdays we think.

Colin comes as part of the supermarket's Xmas food offering which is made up of over 170 new mouth-watering dishes.
New dishes include the 'Perfect Turkey' (which promises to banish turkey terror), a complete vegan Christmas meal, and the new Biggest Ever Éclair.

There's also a super-sized version of the brand's Brie en Croute (£10) which is sold all year round; the delicious cheesy starter comes with a flaky pastry crust for dipping and loading with gooey cheese.

M&S is also adding tons of amazing new party foods to its Xmas offering - good job as customers buy over seven million packs per year.

This year's hot new addition is posh crumpets: Porcini & Truffle Crumpets and Pulled Ham Hock & Rarebit Crumpets (£7), which are ready to go with just seven minutes in the oven.

For a snack table pleaser there's also festive handcrafted sausage rolls with 'Ho Ho Ho' pastry work (£5).

There's also some delectable new tipples including a Clementine Gin Liqueur Snow Globe (£15), which is sure to be an alcohol shelf centrepiece.

The festive clementine flavoured gin complete with edible 23 carat gold leaf pieces, which create a snow globe effect when the bottle is turned upside down. Magic.

There's also the Christmapolitan (£10): a seasonal take on the cocktail favourite with festive spice. This sounds right up our street.

Selected M&S Food Christmas lines launch from September 25th in stores across the UK.
