M&S is selling a Christmas pudding smoothie and we’re not sure about it at all
The liquefied version of the Christmas classic is made with cream and yogurt and uses raisin puree and cost £1.50
THERE's no doubt about it - we all love an indulgent Christmas pudding but we're not sure that washing it down with our dinner sounds that appetising.
Marks and Spencer has launched its festive food collection today and one of its drinks includes a liquefied version of the Christmas classic.
It is made with cream and yogurt and uses raisin puree - each bottle costs £1.50 each.
It also has a hefty 300 calories.
The Sun Online found it a bit too sweet for our taste buds, but M&S claims it has "all the flavours of Christmas in a bottle".
If you're feeling tempted, you'll be pleased to know all sales from the M&S Christmas Food on the Move range will support Shelter, with 5 per cent of each sale donated to the charity.
If drinking a pudding doesn't sound appealing to you, the retailer is also selling the more classic Clementine, Orange and Passion Fruit as well as the Pomegranate and Cranberry juices.
M&S launched its festive sarnies collection two weeks earlier than previous years, and expect to sell over 200,000 festive sandwiches this week alone.
The Sun Online is yet to try them but it will include favourites like the Turkey Feast for £3 and new pricier options like the Lobster & Prawn Thermidor Brioche Roll for £5 or the Mustard Crusted Rare Roast Beef Roll for £4.50.
M&S is also offering their first festive vegan option ever – a Chestnut Roast Wrap for £2.80
We also quite like the sound of the supermarket's crackling crisps which cost £2 and come with an apple, cider and rosemary dip.
M&S Sandwich product developer, Helen Brennan expects the new Mustard Crusted Beef roll to be a hit.
She said: “We see huge sales the day after Christmas parties as our customers seek out the ultimate hangover cure!
"This year our Mustard Crusted Beef Roll is sure to be a favourite, and comes complete with a pot of crunchy Yorkshire pudding scraps!”
M&S is not the only high-street retailer to start Christmas earlier than ever this year.
Coffee chain Costa just released a billionaire's shortbread flavoured latte - although it comes with 10 teaspoons of sugar.
