Xmas sandwich core range

Christmas lunch is back on the menu as Co-op's much-loved festive sandwiches return to stores nationwide from October 21st.

The Christmas sandwich is the ultimate lunchtime treat, and this year, Co-op is introducing two exciting newcomers to the range as well as bringing back some of its fan favourites, all made with quality ingredients.

Returning to shelves this year are four highly anticipated lines: Turkey Feast, Boxing Day Feast, Pigs Under Blankets and Brie & Cranberry, all packed with the classic festive flavours shoppers know and love.

As part of the retailer’s long-standing commitment to backing British farming, all its own brand meat is 100% British, including fresh turkey in its core sandwich range.

Xmas sandwich premium range

Shoppers looking to try something new will find two premium additions landing from December 2nd – a Christmas Club Sandwich bringing together some of the season's most-loved festive flavours, and a Posh Prawn Cocktail Sandwich with succulent king prawns and a zesty Marie Rose sauce, reminiscent of the nation’s much loved seasonal starter.

The range is also available as part of Co-op's lunchtime meal deals, priced at £3.85 for members (£4.25 for non-members), while premium options are included in the Premium Meal Deal priced at £5.50 for members (£6 for non-members).

Helen Jagger, Product Development Manager for Food to Go said: "For many shoppers, the arrival of Christmas sandwiches is the moment the festive season really begins. We know our customers look forward to picking up their favourites every year, which is why we're bringing back our most-loved classics. And for those keen to try something new, we’ll also introduce two exciting premium additions we're sure will be a hit when they land in December."

Proceeds from Co-op's core Christmas sandwiches will be donated to Barnardo's* as part of its national partnership which has already raised more than £7 million and supported positive futures for one million young people across the UK. Over the past decade, this range alone has raised more than £500,000 for Co-op’s national charity partners.
