M&S has revealed its eagerly awaited 2024 Christmas sandwich selection, crafted in collaboration with the esteemed food-to-go specialist, Around Noon.
Around Noon, renowned for its extensive range of sandwiches supplied to all 38 M&S outlets across Ireland and 21 of the supermarket’s Applegreen franchise sites, has curated four distinct sandwiches. These festive offerings are now available nationwide, setting the stage for a memorable culinary season.
The selection features a Turkey Feast sandwich, combining Irish turkey, smoked bacon, sage and onion stuffing, caramelised onion mayo, and cranberry sauce. This traditional favourite continues to capture the essence of the festive season.
Adding a twist to the classic offering, the All Wrapped Up sandwich introduces a blend of Irish turkey, Irish ham, sage and onion stuffing, spinach, caramelised onion mayo, and cranberry sauce. This new addition is expected to draw attention for its innovative approach to familiar flavours.
For vegetarian patrons, the return of the Brie and Cranberry sandwich, cherished since 2022, offers a delightful combination that balances richness with tang.
Incorporating a modern twist on tradition, the Yule Spiced Beef sandwich presents Irish spiced beef, mature Irish cheddar, sauerkraut, gherkins, and mustard mayo, all encased in a pretzel roll. This creation caters to those seeking something new yet familiar.
The M&S product developer for Ireland and Northern Ireland, instrumental in shaping this year’s range alongside Around Noon’s new product development manager, Tori Laverty, expressed the joy of creating these festive sandwiches: “Designing the Christmas range is a dream job – it’s all about channelling the joy and comfort of the season into something you can taste. Seeing our ideas come to life on M&S shelves is incredibly rewarding.”
Reflecting on the importance of these seasonal offerings, they added: “Christmas is such a special time, and our sandwiches are a part of so many festive moments. We put our hearts into making sure every detail is just right – from the flavours to the presentation.”
In the lead-up to Christmas, M&S and Around Noon have once again delivered a range of sandwiches that capture the spirit of the season. Their meticulous attention to flavour and presentation ensures that these selections will delight customers, offering memorable additions to the festive table.
