This year M&S has also brought back it's iconic Christmas drink which has been off the shelves since 2022
Previously, the gin came in two flavours - Clementine and Spiced Sugar Plum - but this year, only the Clementine one will be sold for £20.
The bottles of M&S gin liqueur have been a festive staple for the major supermarket for years.
In fact, the retailer previously launched legal action against Aldi over a 'copycat' version of its popular Christmas gin.
filed papers with the High Court alleging that customers could mistake Aldi's glitter globe gin for it's own.
But Aldi often sells "dupes" of well-known products that look very similar other brands.
After a lengthy court case, Aldi was found guilty of infringing upon the M&S design.

B&M has also introduced a brand-new Light-up Gonk Gin Liqueur with gold flakes, in two fantastically festive flavours for just £14.
It comes in a bottle which transforms the gin liqueur into a piece of festive decor.
The light-up effect brings a warm, glowing atmosphere to any Christmas celebration - and would make the perfect gift.
The edible gold flakes add a luxurious touch and there is a whimsical gonk character hidden in the glass bottle that turns this tipple into a festive centrepiece.
The two flavours available are Clementine and Winter Berries, with both measuring 50cl and a 15% ABV.
You'll need to head to a B&M store to get the latest treat as you can't buy online from the bargain retailer.

What else is Aldi doing for Christmas?
Aldi has unveiled its Christmas advert for the year and it sees Kevin the Carrot make a grand return.
The loveable character is once again the star of the bargain supermarkets' festive reel.
It begins in a festive village with a narrator informing viewers the spirit of Christmas has been stolen by thieves.
Viewers then see Kevin sleeping on a dinner plate only to be woken up with a message from Santa Claus tasking him with the mission of saving the holidays.
The advert is inspired by the Mission Impossible franchise, a classic film many households enjoy over the holidays.
As part of its festive food offering, Aldi has launched a range of party bites that can all be cooked at 180 degrees Celsius.

How to save money on Christmas shopping
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save money on your Christmas shopping.
Limit the amount of presents - buying presents for all your family and friends can cost a bomb.
Instead, why not organise a Secret Santa between your inner circles so you're not having to buy multiple presents.
Plan ahead - if you've got the stamina and budget, it's worth buying your Christmas presents for the following year in the January sales.
Make sure you shop around for the best deals by using price comparison sites so you're not forking out more than you should though.
Buy in Boxing Day sales - some retailers start their main Christmas sales early so you can actually snap up a bargain before December 25.
Delivery may cost you a bit more, but it can be worth it if the savings are decent.
Shop via outlet stores - you can save loads of money shopping via outlet stores like Amazon Warehouse or Office Offcuts.
They work by selling returned or slightly damaged products at a discounted rate, but usually any wear and tear is minor.
