It’s beginning to look a lot like a merry lunch, as Pret A Manger has officially dropped its festive menu for 2025, and this year’s line-up is packed with new flavors, cheesy comfort, and a few indulgent twists guaranteed to get Brits in the Christmas spirit.
Available from Tuesday, 4th November, Pret’s Christmas range is a yearly ritual for many, the sign that it’s finally time to swap salads for stuffing and mince pies.
This season, Pret’s festive range goes bigger, creamier, and trufflier than ever. Fans can expect a mix of returning legends and brand-new creations landing in shops nationwide.
Among the newbies are the Porchetta & Sage Baguette, a sandwich made for serious Christmas foodies, layered with slices of hand-rubbed apple and rosemary seasoned porchetta, sage mayo, matured Italian cheese, dried cranberries, shredded apple, and spinach.

There’s also the Salmon, Soft Cheese & Dill Baguette: a lighter but no less luxurious option featuring Scottish smoked salmon, creamy soft cheese, and fresh dill on a stone-baked baguette.
But the real star of the show, the one everyone waits all year for, makes its triumphant return. Pret’s Christmas Lunch Sandwich is back, wrapping up all the joy of Christmas in one bite, with British turkey, port & orange cranberry sauce, herby pork stuffing, spinach, mayo and crispy onions on soft malted bread. And this year, it’s got even more to give.
For every sandwich sold, Pret will donate £1 to The Pret Foundation, which celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2025. Dedicated to breaking the cycle of homelessness, the Foundation supports local charities and shelters, donates unsold food, provides employment through its Rising Stars program, and gives grants to grassroots organisations.

If you’re more into gooey, melty comfort, the new Truffle & Brie Toastie should do the trick: a rich blend of Brie and Cheddar with a layer of truffle, toasted until golden.
Alternatively, go all in with the Festive Truffle Pasta Bake, which combines pasta with a truffle-infused Cheddar béchamel and crispy golden breadcrumbs. Veggies haven’t been forgotten either; Pret’s Veggie Christmas Flatbread returns, stuffed with roasted butternut squash, chestnut & herb stuffing, rocket, sage mayo, pistachios and crispy onions.
On the sweet side, there’s a brand-new Caramelised Biscuity Bar: packing white chocolate, shortcake biscuit, mini mallows, and caramelized biscuit base. Classic favorites like the Mince Pie, Melvin gingerbread character, and Christmas Tiffin are also back, perfect with a festive latte or hot chocolate. Speaking of which, Pret’s Frosted Mint Hot Chocolate joins the drinks list this year, also known as ‘Christmas in a cup’, as Pret teases.

Anna Tebbs, Head of Food at Pret A Manger, said: “Nothing brings us more joy than seeing our festive favorites back on the menu and knowing how much they mean to our customers. This year feels especially meaningful as we double our donation from every Christmas Lunch Sandwich sold to £1 for The Pret Foundation, marking 30 years of helping people experiencing homelessness.”
Pret’s 2025 Christmas menu will be available across the UK from 4th November until the end of December, in shops and for delivery via Deliveroo, Uber Eats, and Just Eat.
