Greggs reveals exact date festive bake is back - as fan favourite finally makes a return

Greggs has revealed exactly when you can get your hands on its popular Festive Bake this year as it launches menu.

The high street bakery chain has confirmed that its Christmas menu this year will once again feature the beloved Festive Bank. The baked good - which consists of crumb-topped pastry filled with chicken, sage, onion stuffing, and bacon, covered in a creamy sage and cranberry sauce - has become a staple part of Christmas for Brits across the country.

This year, customers will be able to get their hands on bake starting on Friday, November 7. Alongside the Festive Bake, Greggs Christmas menu also features a vegan version - called the Vegan Festive Bake - the Christmas Lunch Baguette and the Festive Flatbread.

The vegan version of the bake—which returned after a hiatus last year—consists of puff pastry filled with savoury Quorn mycoprotein pieces, sage and onion stuffing balls, and vegan bacon, with a mouth-watering cranberry and red onion sauce. It will be launched in Greggs stores on Friday, November 8, a day after the non-vegan version.

The Christmas Lunch Baguette is also making a return and is made up of chicken breast slices and sage and onion stuffing, a dash of onion gravy, sweetcure bacon, and cheese, and is finished with a cranberry and onion relish. Finally, the all-new Festive Flatbread has a soft and warm flatbread stuffed with sage & onion style chicken mayo, sweetcure bacon and a cranberry and red onion relish. These are both available in Greggs stores across the UK now.

Those with a sweet tooth have not forgotten, don't you worry as Greggs is launching a brand new Toffee Fudge Muffin and bringing back its Chocolate and Hazelnut Flavour Doughnut.

The toffee muffin contains toffee pieces and is topped with a swirl of toffee flavour frosting and the Chocolate and Hazelnut Doughnut is packed with a chocolate and hazelnut flavour filling, then topped with white chocolate flavour icing and pieces of honeycomb coated in milk chocolate.

Festive drinks are also making an appearance this year, with Mint Mocha and Hot Chocolate making a comeback, as well as its Gingerbread latte - which you can get over ice - and flat white. The announcement comes as Greggs unveiled its first-ever Christmas advert last night which featured beloved celebrity chef Nigella Lawson. In the ad, Nigella returns home to a home decorated with fairy lights and a Christmas tree featuring Greggs baubles before describing the “rapturous riot of flavour” of the bakery chain’s Festive Bake.
