SHOCKING M&S Christmas Food 2024 Revealed! 🎄 Collection Left Me Speechless! VLOGMAS Marks & Spencer

[@kirstygriffiths749]

Let me know what you think ! High prices ? Do you visit M&S to get ideas?

[@beebenton7820]

Best ‘look around’ M&S video I’ve seen , thank you 😊

[@kirstygriffiths749]

Thank you 🙏

[@lorrainenolan5604]

Well done for taking the time to film this in depth 😊

[@patacake4997]

M&S packaging is so good it makes you want to buy their products.

[@kirstygriffiths749]

It’s really does 👍

[@lynnoorman2144]

And causes colossal and unnecessary waste!! Much of it not recyclable! Mugs falling for gimmicks here!

[@kirstygriffiths749]

@ mugs ? Come on Lyn…. Huge amount of plastic free packaging, slow, but we’re seeing less single use plastic. Do you eat fish ? You do realise old / dumped commercial fishing gear is the majority of plastic in the sea? A fully recyclable clear container from M&S is not the problem.

[@mentonish]

They think of the planet with their packaging, the are not alone

[@carolefreeman2544]

The quality and selection of specialty food and the cost is a steal compared to over here in Canada 🇨🇦. I miss M&S since it left Canada. As a Ex-Pat, I loved M&S for everything. You might find it’s expensive because the prices have risen over the years, but it’s still a better deal than over the pond. Count yourselves lucky! Watching this video has made me miss living in the U.K. …I want to go back!😢

[@Sparkles12340]

I’m done with M&S, prices are absolutely ridiculous, I don’t trust any supermarkets any more. Shopping local/farmers markets from now on. Happy Christmas 🎄

[@iAMChrisCC]

You don't trust supermarkets where they have audits, standards and traceability on all products, yet you'll happily buy stuff from markets which could be literally anything and you'd never know?? Wow.

[@Sparkles12340]

@ quite happily. Yes wow indeed.

[@judihopewell2499]

Mmmmmm wish we could buy all these treats in Canada….wonderful look see and makes me homesick for english Christmas fare…

[@HEATHERNIMMO]

Thanks Kirsty for another great vlog, love how you put the prices on the screen in case we missed them of the shelves, very disappointed M&S didn’t have their musical selection box this year as I always get it for my son and his wife as she loves to keep it as a keepsake and I thought it was worth the money as so unusual, keep up the good work from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@kirstygriffiths749]

Oh no ! What a shame they no longer do it

[@wanda521]

It’s a shame they’re neck deep in the Bovaer debacle - yet refuse to talk about it. I’ve tried many times this week to contact them. I’m put on hold, in a queue, then unceremoniously cut off. I used to shop there regularly but not any more.

[@kirstygriffiths749]

I’m glad I get my milk from the milkman !

[@Rowan-d2y]

Hi, Has M & S own brand milk got Bovaer in then?

@@Blonde_Somnambulist Thank you.

[@helenq479]

Am starving now. 😀

[@clpar-k2x]

Coming to a posh cocktail party near you. No I definitely would not buy a lot of this because of the prices, or wait until Christmas Eve and the yellow stickers but we don't have a local one now.

[@kirstygriffiths749]

I used to live really close to an M&S. I bought 4 yellow sticker turkeys and put them in my mother in-laws freezer one Christmas Eve! Best bargain ever

[@clpar-k2x]

@kirstygriffiths749 mother in law bought a couple of cheap turkeys from a supermarket just after new year and kept them in her freezer, ready to serve one up the following Christmas!

[@frugalitystartsathome4889]

They’re very much overpriced, especially at Christmas. I mean, six quid for a small pot of gravy that would perhaps be enough for two people if they’re not greedy - come on! I bought one of their smoked gammon joints the other day, paid twice as much as at any other supermarket expecting wonderful things. Frankly, it tasted no better or worse than anything I’ve had from anywhere else at half the price, the only consolation being that perhaps their farms might potentially have higher welfare standards (although even that is dubious, these days.) The cheddar and ham scones cannot possibly be worth seven pounds fifty - they’re made with ham hock which is one of the cheapest cuts and are barely a single mouthful each.

[@juliawigger9796]

They have less chemical ingredients

[@angelalewis6706]

I agree. A milk chocolate advent calendar 80g for kids, £8. They were in sale 15p and still not worth it. Chocolate was horrible. It's snobbery really. If you're intelligent you know about food to a degree and how it's processed etc. X

[@annfrost7616]

Great review xxx

[@snowy5742]

Amazing video Thank you x

[@linedemers7493]

marks and spencer had store in canada after the closing the brand change and everything is made in china it used to be made in uk clothing food

£3.50 for 4 fir cones on sticks 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Some of the prepared food is really overpriced but the artwork on the tins and packaging is amazing.

Looove plastic free wrapping x

[@steely666]

With spuds and veg? 😅

[@caz3949]

If l won the lottery I’d do a ‘big shop’ at M&S but for now l just buy 2 or 3 items lol

[@kirstygriffiths749]

I bought the gingerbread house, bag of nuts, reduced to £1.37 advent calendar, bread sauce, and some paper plates. Me shopping here would be a sign I’d won the lottery !!

[@c_n_p888]

Did you see a fresh cream yule log in the dessert section by any chance ?

[@kirstygriffiths749]

I didn’t ! But… I like the sound of it.

[@nicolap4765]

I’m after that too x

My mom always made mash potatoes with our Christmas dinners. We are Canadian but mom was from Lancashire. It might be a northern thing.

[@kirstygriffiths749]

I think it is. I could eat mash everyday! But, not with Christmas lunch 🌲

[@cathyridley3005]

@@kirstygriffiths749 I actually have been living in Cambridgeshire for the last 15 years and I now make both. 😁😋My boyfriend likes his roast potatoes with his Christmas dinner so I just have a bit of both. 😎😁

[@cathyridley3005]

@@kirstygriffiths749 Oh also, I use my mash as a gravy boat on my plate.😂

[@carolefreeman2544]

We have always had Mash potatoes with our Christmas meal since living in Canada. I think it’s a North American thing. Because when we lived in the U.K. we had Roast Potatoes. My mum was from the north too! My Dad and my sister and I am from the south. 🇨🇦🇬🇧

[@cathyridley3005]

@@carolefreeman2544 I guess it is.lol I now make Yorkshire pudding with Christmas dinner here as well which we didn't have with Christmas dinner in Canada from what I remember. Well ,I didn't make it. I still make my mom's sausage stuffing though. Christmas dinner wouldn't be the same without that for me.😋 I lived in Burlington,Ontario before coming to the UK but grew up in parts of Toronto and Mississauga. Where abouts are you? How's the weather been? I miss Canada and Canadians a lot! I don't miss the snow though.❄

[@tinahowson8335]

Hi Kirsty, M & S have yet again given us a great selection of Christmas fare. My husband and I are not good with foods that are smothered with sauces etc. Everything about their food just fills me with joy from the way it is presented on the shelves to the packaging and of course the taste. Waitrose no doubt will be doing the same. All preference. I would buy for the tins alone!! Thanks for sharing, a real treat. 😊

[@kirstygriffiths749]

I’m looking forward to visiting Waitrose next 👍 Glad you enjoyed it 🌲

[@sal8454]

Where’s the starters?

[@kirstygriffiths749]

Didn’t see anything in the Christmas range for a starter. Plenty of ingredients to make it. I wouldn’t waste stomach space on a starter 😂

[@sallyseaward5865]

Woolworths SA 🇿🇦 is the equivalent - very expensive gifting. If you’re savvy you wait till January …. 25% off …. then 50% …. then 75% … then BUY ! BUY ! BUY ! (obviously you may miss out on what you’ve had your eye on). 🌲

[@ghostontheline]

Have not bought food in a M & S for many years, far to over priced. 🤮

[@donaldcoldrick4811]

So sad M&S have totally lost their way with vegan options - used to love their plant section and now it’s gone

[@kirstygriffiths749]

I love the plant faux chicken kievs they do!

[@steely666]

Vegan is crap anyway

[@donaldcoldrick4811]

Used to love popping in for their vegan selection but they don’t have a dedicated plant section anymore , it’s just randomly round the store and feels much reduced

☹️ oh no. This might sound like an odd question, have you applied for Attendance allowance ? If you’ve over 65 in the UK 🇬🇧 it’s a non means tested payment. I’ve just got my 84 year old mother an extra £72 a week 👍 very simple form to fill out.
