It’s officially Christmas with the launch of Pret A Manger’s 2025 Christmas menu – a festive line-up of new and returning classics.
A seasonal taste-test festive favourite and a true mark of Christmas in the UK, Pret’s Christmas Lunch Sandwich returns. Perfected over the years, this legendary classic wraps up all the joy of Christmas in one bite, featuring British turkey, port & orange cranberry sauce, herby pork stuffing, spinach, mayo and crispy onions, all layered on soft malted bread, freshly prepared in shop kitchens every day all season long.
And that’s not all. Generosity has always been at the heart of Pret, which is why Pret’s most popular Christmas menu item, Christmas Lunch Sandwich, will donate £1 from the sale to The Pret Foundation as it celebrates its 30th anniversary. Dedicated to breaking the cycle of homelessness, The Pret Foundation partners with local charities and shelters to donate unsold freshly made food to those in need every day, offers employment and training through its Rising Stars programme, and provides financial grants to grassroots organisations.
Joining the menu this year are two brand-new baguettes including the succulent Porchetta & Sage Baguette and Salmon, Soft Cheese & Dill. The Porchetta & Sage Baguette is made up of slices of Porchetta which has been hand rubbed in an apple and rosemary seasoning to ensure flavour in every bite, the new baguette is then layered with sage mayo, matured Italian cheese, dried cranberries, shredded apple and spinach on freshly baked baguette. And, the Salmon, Soft Cheese & Dill baguette is made up of Scottish smoked salmon with creamy soft cheese, fresh dill, lemon juice and seasoning on a stone baked baguette.
Pret is also welcoming a line-up of delicious truffle-y newness for the Christmas period, including the Truffle & Brie Toastie – a rich, gooey blend of Brie and Cheddar cheese with a truffle layer, toasted to perfection – and the new Festive Truffle Pasta Bake – pasta in a truffle-infused Cheddar béchamel, topped with crispy golden breadcrumbs.
Veggies rejoice! Pret introduces Pret’s Veggie Christmas Flatbread to join the menu, featuring roasted butternut squash, peppery rocket with chestnut & herb stuffing. Served with a spoonful of sage mayo, pistachios and crispy onion.
A number of festive favourites are also back on the menu, including the Pigs in Blankets Hot Roll. Served warm in a ciabatta roll with caramelised onion chutney and a touch of mustard mayo, this little bundle of joy is pure festive comfort. Joining it is the customer favourite, Boxing Day Toastie with melty mature cheddar cheese, turkey, pulled ham, and Pret’s herby pork stuffing it’s finished with a dollop of caramelised onion chutney and sage mayo before being toasted to perfection. Pret’s Hog Roast Macaroni & Cheese also returns to deliver the ultimate cosy fix – creamy, hearty, and perfect for keeping the cold at bay.
Sweetening the deal, the brand-new Caramelised Biscuity Bar is a little slice of Christmas with white chocolate and crispy inclusions in a shortcake biscuit, mini mallows and caramelised biscuit base. Other merry sweet treats like Pret’s Mince Pie, Melvin and Christmas Tiffin, return to spread seasonal cheer whilst also making the perfect festive latte pairing.
Speaking of winter warmers, no festive menu would be complete without the perfect drink to toast the season. Pret’s baristas will be serving up a tempting line-up of festive beverages to keep Brits cosy throughout the season, from the deliciously rich, classic Gingerbread Latte, to the all-new, Frosted Mint Hot Chocolate.
Anna Tebbs, head of food, Pret A Manger, said: “At Pret, we spend all year thinking about Christmas. From perfecting customer favourites like our Christmas Lunch Sandwich to creating new festive recipes such as the Porchetta & Sage Baguette and Festive Truffle Pasta Bake, it’s a true labour of love. Nothing brings us more joy than seeing our festive favourites 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. It’s our way of sharing even more generosity and festive cheer.”
The delicious seasonal menu will be available in Pret shops nationwide from 4th November until the end of December, while supply lasts and will be available to purchase for delivery through Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Ju
