We’ve pulled out all the stops with our range of Christmas drinks this year, working with the best producers to create exclusive recipes made with real care and expertise. “I’m so lucky,” says M&S Lead Product Developer for spirits and cocktails, Jenny Rea. “I get to work with the distillers behind our own-label festive spirits, from family-run craft gin distilleries to expert whisky producers in Scotland.”

From the best Christmas cocktails to the best Christmas spirits to shake into them to Christmas ales and our first Mulled Rosé, we've got a whole range of Christmas drinks to share with you.
