Hoping to tap into the key seasonal consumer trends of indulgence, togetherness and gifting, the McVitie’s festive range has a combination of new lines and pack sizes for classic products.

“Christmas is all about spending time with loved ones – and what better way to get into the festive spirit, with the people closest to you, than by indulging in a few delicious treats,” said Jonathan Bull, head of McVitie’s Commercial & Seasonal Brands at Pladis UK&I. “Nothing says Christmas quite like some of our long-standing seasonal favourites, including McVitie’s Jaffa Cakes Christmas Pole and Tin. By combining these with inviting NPD, we’re appealing both a new generation of seasonal shoppers, as well as existing fans seeking something extra special for the festive season.

“This year we’re taking the range one step further by giving some of our bestsellers – McVitie’s Digestives and McVitie’s Jaffa Cakes – a festive transformation, offering retailers the chance to take an even bigger bite out of the £161m seasonal sales opportunity.”
