Greggs Christmas Menu 2026: Festive Items and Prices

The Greggs Christmas menu is a national event. Every year the festive bake returns, queues form, and social media lights up. Here is what to expect from the 2026 festive range, based on the traditional line up and typical pricing.

The Festive Bake

The star of the show. A puff pastry bake filled with chicken, sage and onion stuffing and sweetcure bacon, topped with a creamy sage and cranberry sauce. It is Christmas dinner in a bake, and it is glorious.

In 2026 the Festive Bake costs around £2.15 at standard shops, about £2.45 in London and £2.70 at airport franchise stores. It contains roughly 453 calories.

It usually launches in early November and runs until the new year, though popular shops sell out of their daily allocation by lunchtime in December.

Festive sweet treats

The Christmas sweet range typically includes:

• Christmas muffin or cupcake. Festive spiced sponge with icing, around £1.75 standard.
• Mince pies. Greggs mince pies appear in multipacks, usually excellent value at a few pounds for six.
• Festive doughnut. A themed ring doughnut with seasonal icing, around £1.45 standard.
• Gingerbread items. Gingerbread flavoured bakes and biscuits make regular appearances.

Festive drinks

Winter brings the seasonal hot drinks:

• Mint hot chocolate. The classic Christmas drink, around £2.55 for a regular.
• Gingerbread latte. Spiced and warming, around £2.55 for a regular.
• Eggnog style latte has appeared in some years, where stocked.

These are priced a little above the standard drinks, reflecting the syrups and toppings.

The Festive Baguette

Alongside the bake, there is usually a cold festive option. The Festive Baguette or sandwich packs turkey style fillings with cranberry and stuffing into fresh bread. Expect around £3.45 standard. It is the lighter, fresher alternative to the bake.

When does it launch?

The Christmas menu traditionally launches in the first week of November. Greggs teases it on social media in late October, and the Festive Bake is always the headline announcement. Mark your calendar.

Tips for festive season

• Go early in the day. Festive items, especially the bake, sell out fast in December.
• Try the app offers. Christmas usually brings bonus stamp promotions and festive freebies.
• Stock up on mince pies. The multipacks are great value and freeze well.
• Check the new items page. We track each festive launch as it lands.

After Christmas: the January wind down

Once the new year arrives, the festive range disappears quickly, usually in the first week of January. Shops sell through remaining stock, and you can sometimes grab the last mince pie multipacks at a discount.

January also brings the annual wave of new vegan launches, which has become a Greggs tradition. If the festive bake was your December habit, the new plant based bakes are worth trying as its January successor. Check the new items page for what has landed.

Is the hype justified?

Honestly, yes. The Festive Bake is genuinely delicious, not just a novelty. The combination of stuffing, bacon and cranberry in hot puff pastry works brilliantly, and at £2.15 it is cheaper than almost any other Christmas themed food on the high street. It earns its cult status.
