Coles Expands M&S Christmas Treats and Liquorland’s Summer Drinks Collection
Coles is expanding its Marks & Spencer (M&S) food range for Christmas, bringing more festive treats, traditional British desserts and seasonal gifts to Australian shoppers. Meanwhile, Liquorland is introducing M&S alcoholic drinks to Australia for the first time, featuring exclusive spritz cocktails, premium wines and Champagne.
The new festive collection includes M&S Percy Pig Merry Percymas sweets, traditional Christmas puddings, mince pies, chocolate gifts and shortbread. Highlights include the M&S 12 Month Matured Christmas Pudding ($25), Mince Pies 6-pack ($15) and Percy Pig Merry Percymas 170g ($6).
Liquorland Introduces M&S Spritz Cocktails and Wines
Liquorland is bringing five M&S canned spritz flavours to Australian stores and online, each priced at $7. The collection includes Hugo Spritz, Aperitivo Spritz, Limoncello Spritz, Tequila & Grapefruit Spritz and Sake & Lychee Spritz. Made with all-natural flavours, the ready-to-serve drinks are designed for summer gatherings, Christmas celebrations and outdoor entertaining.
The retailer is also introducing M&S Collection wines, including Italian Gavi De Gavi 750ml ($20) and Amarone 750ml ($50). Customers can also purchase M&S Delacourt Champagne in 750ml bottles ($62) and 1.5L magnums ($120). Liquorland General Manager of Commercial and Marketing, Sophie Hogg, said the new drinks collection would provide customers with more summer entertaining options, combining quality, convenience and value.
She highlighted that spritz sales at Liquorland had increased by more than 50% over the past year, reflecting growing Australian demand for the popular summer drink.
Coles Expands M&S Christmas Food and Gift Collection
Coles is introducing additional M&S festive food products following the strong response to the brand’s arrival in Australia last year. The initial M&S confectionery launch became one of the most successful confectionery launches in Coles’ history.
The expanded Christmas range features seasonal chocolates, British confectionery, traditional desserts and festive gift items. New products include M&S Christmas Puppy Parade chocolates ($12), Happy Christmas Mini Selection ($12), Shortbread Light Up House ($20), Milk Chocolate Coins ($12) and Peppermint Bark ($20).
Traditional British Christmas favourites include the 12 Month Matured Christmas Pudding and M&S Collection Mince Pies, offering shoppers familiar festive flavours and gifting options. Coles Chief Commercial and Sustainability Officer, Anna Croft, said the retailer was expanding the M&S collection to give customers more seasonal treats and exclusive products for Christmas celebrations.
M&S Managing Director of International, Mark Lemming, said the partnership with Coles and Liquorland would help bring more of the British retailer’s popular food and drink products to Australian customers. The M&S spritz collection is available now at Liquorland stores nationally and online, while M&S wines are rolling out to selected stores throughout November.
Customers can find the M&S Food range arriving in stores and online this month, officially available from 18th November, with additional M&S products available at selected stores.
