00:00Hi, I'm Catherine from Sussex World and I'm here at M&S at Holmbush in Shoreham
00:04where I'm going in store to have a look at the festive range. They've got 450
00:10festive products for 2024 and they kindly invited me along to pick up a
00:15couple which I'm gonna take home and try later. So come with me in store and we'll
00:19see what they've got.
01:00Hi again everyone, so I'm back from M&S. I
01:29had a really successful trip there. In fact there was so much to choose from it
01:33was really hard to know what to bring home and try so I selected a few
01:37products. Lots of them have kind of a sweet and kind of spicy kind of
01:42kick together. The first of those I'm gonna try is Hot Honey Caramel Popcorn
01:47which is a mixture of caramelised honey popcorn with cayenne pepper and milk
01:52chocolate covered honeycomb pieces. Don't worry M&S beautifully packaged
01:56everything but just so you don't have to go through the agony of me trying to
01:59open things on camera I've pre-opened this. Yeah and I love sweet and salty
02:04kind of combos. I'm hoping this is going to be as delicious as it looks. Let's see if I can get a little chocolate piece as well as popcorn.
02:15Here we go.
02:24That's so delicious, really Moorish and you get the just a tiny little kick of
02:30pepper coming through but it's not so spicy that kids couldn't try it too.
02:34That's really good I'm definitely gonna go back and get some more of that one.
02:39I also thought kids would like as well this one the Cranberry Jaffa Cakes.
02:44Jaffa Cakes are a massive favourite in our house and I love the original orange M&S
02:49ones but I've never tried cranberry flavoured so they're a little bit different.
02:55They've got kind of a chocolate sponge instead. Let's give it a whirl.
03:02Mmm that's really nice. The fruit's so tangy.
03:08Mmm yeah you can tell it's got cranberry in it but it's still got that kind of
03:14classic Jaffa Cake feel. Love it. Next one, just a kind of classic flavour of maple bacon for Christmas.
03:24It's a crisp combo mix. I can almost guarantee I'm going to love it. Let's give it a try.
03:31Go for a wheel.
03:36Mmm it's really nice. It's almost a bit barbeque-y.
03:43But I love it. They're so crunchy as well.
03:46I'm gonna put them down before I just stand here and eat them all and forget that I'm filming.
03:51Other things I picked up as well are these lovely peppermint bark tin of.
03:56It's really nicely decorated so you make a great Christmas gift.
03:59This is peppermint flavoured dark and white chocolate topped with candy cane pieces.
04:04That one was £10 for the box.
04:07Also, this one is the original Very Jelly Munch which just looks brilliant for the whole family.
04:16It's got a mixture of stuff in from jelly beans, fruit flavoured jellies, sugar coated milk chocolate,
04:22popping candy milk chocolate caramel clusters, white chocolate covered popcorn and milk chocolate covered pretzels.
04:28I mean, I just know that's going to be absolutely delicious.
04:31That was £10 for a tin but it feels really weighty so it feels like that's pretty good value.
04:36Also, you cannot go wrong with mince pies. M&S do the best ones in my opinion.
04:42And I love puff pastry mince pies. These ones are best if you heat them up and then eat them.
04:47You could always serve them with a bit of clotted cream or custard maybe, which would be delicious.
04:54And then lastly, I got this sugar and spice munch mix.
04:59And that's another kind of mixture of sort of slightly sweet flavours and salty stuff as well.
05:06So it's got crispy coated peanuts, salted corn chew for chilli seasoning, honey caramelised roasted almonds,
05:16milk chocolate coated raisins and salted pretzel sticks.
05:20So that sounds absolutely delicious. And that's just a tiny sampling of everything they've got in store.
05:26There was so much to choose from. Christmas drinks, chocolate selection boxes.
05:31They even had a lovely little chocolate box that kind of snowed and it had truffles in the bottom.
05:36So everything was just amazing. And even though it's a little while until the festive season really kicks off with a bang,
05:43it was just really nice getting like a head start on some of my Christmas kind of wish lists for what we're going to eat over the festive season.
05:50So I definitely recommend you go down and take a little look in store.
05:54I popped to the Shoreham Holmbush store, but Worthing nearby will also stock the same kind of treats.
05:59And yeah, M&S throughout Sussex too. So thanks very much for watching. I'll see you soon.
