M&S shoppers gutted after it confirms it has axed a beloved festive flavour liqueur
M&S SHOPPERS are gutted after the chain confirmed it axed a beloved festive flavoured liqueur.
The announcement was made in a comment by the retailing giant on social media platform X.
M&S had previously sold its Trifle Flavour Cream in stores and it had amassed a loyal following of fans.
The drink had been popular for many years before it seemingly disappeared from shelves.
However, a comment on X by M&S earlier this week confirmed the liqueur would not be on sale this year.
In response to a post asking the retailing giant if it would be stocking the drink, the chain said: "It doesn't look like we're doing the trifle flavour this year.
