MERRY GREGGSMAS!

Behind every door there's a tear-off token than can be redeemed at the bakery chain

NOW you can celebrate the countdown to Christmas with a festive goody from Greggs everyday.

The high street bakery chain is launching its own advent calendar - but they're in short supply so if you want one of the 500, you'll need to be quick.

What is in the Greggs advent calendar?

Each door reveals a tear-off token that can be redeemed at Greggs' shops between December 1 and 24 in exchange for a different treat every day.

The food and drink based gifts will be available from both of its Christmas and regular menus, including the Festive Bake, flavoured lattes, sweet mince pies and the sausage roll.

If you're lucky enough to get hold of one of the calendars, then you're in for a treat on Christmas Eve where behind door number 24 is a £5 gift card - or £25 gift card in a select few.

If you're not feeling like splashing your voucher on Christmas Eve, you can hold off spending it until the new year as it's valid for 12 months.

The actual cardboard calendar pictures a mouthwatering festive bake and doesn't hold any physical prizes, but tokens instead.

The calendar will set you back £24 but Greggs say it's worth between £35 and £60, depending on what gift card you get.

MEATY TRUTH Why your sausage roll may only contain 42% meat – and the retailers who WON’T say how much is in theirs


Where can you buy the Greggs advent calendar from?

he calendars are only available from 17 stores in England, Scotland and Wales so you might want to make sure your local branch sells them before heading out to buy one.

They go on sale from Monday November 20 and there are 500 calendars in total.

If you're only in it for the sausage roll, then it's not really worth your money because at 90p a pastry it's cheaper for you to buy a fresh one every day of advent - which would only cost you £21.60.
