From quirky desserts to creative drinks, simple ideas become holiday obsessions. Short, eye-catching videos make even everyday treats feel exciting and shareable, and suddenly everyone wants to jump on the trend.

Gingerbread latte

This winter, Greggs is bringing back its festive favorite: the Gingerbread Latte. Made with fresh espresso, steamed milk, and gingerbread syrup, it’s the perfect mix of warm coffee and holiday spices. Topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of spiced sugar, it’s basically Christmas in a cup.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick breakfast or taking a cozy afternoon break, this latte hits the sweet spot. Its rich flavor and festive aroma make it hard to resist, even for people who usually skip seasonal drinks.

Tandoori pizza flavour mash up

Greggs’ Tandoori Pizza uses their focaccia‑style pizza base topped with cheese, tomato, and a tandoori‑style chicken mayonnaise, finished with red onion for extra bite.

It’s a fun fusion of Indian‑style spice and classic pizza vibes, giving you something familiar yet different, great if you want a twist on ordinary pizza.

Greggs gingerbread muffin

The gingerbread muffin is back on Greggs’ 2025 Christmas menu, and it’s a holiday treat worth trying. It’s a gingerbread‑flavoured muffin topped with cream cheese frosting and decorated with a little white‑chocolate‑gingerbread‑man piece, a sweet nod to classic holiday cookies.

Chocolate and hazelnut magic

The Chocolate & Hazelnut Doughnut is filled with a rich chocolate‑hazelnut flavor centre, then topped with white‑chocolate‑flavor icing and crunchy honeycomb‑coated milk‑chocolate pieces. It’s kind of like a doughnut version of a fancy candy bar, sweet, nutty, and a little bit indulgent.

If you’re in the mood for a treat, this doughnut brings the kind of dessert vibe that feels special. For around £1.40–£1.70 (depending on shop and whether you order in store or via delivery) you can grab one as a snack or pair it with a warm drink.

Smooth milk chocolate finish

Greggs finishes the shortbread with a layer of white chocolate on top. That chocolate crown adds a creamy sweetness and a bit of richness to the treat.

Chocolate plus caramel plus buttery biscuit make a delicious trio. The mix of textures, soft shortbread, gooey caramel, and smooth chocolate hits the sweet spot for dessert lovers.
