We all love a picky tea, and party food at Christmas just makes sense so we’re bringing our much-loved party food favourites to the Foodhall from 12 November – earlier than ever before. Because let’s face it, nothing says Christmas quite like a table loaded with golden bites, melty-centred nibbles and crisps with dips ready to share. From family nights in front of a cosy film to big festive gatherings, it’s official that M&S is the home of party food.

Crisps and dips
What’s a spread of Christmas picky bits without the humble crisps and dips?
Crisps
Try our Turkey Feast Flavour Combo Mix, capturing all the flavours of our iconic Christmas sandwich in crisp form.
For a sweet-and-savoury twist, there’s Hand Cooked Hot Maple Pigs in Blankets Crisps, combining Canadian maple syrup, chilli and oak-smoked sugar, alongside the Maple Bacon Flavour Combo Mix, savoury with just the right hint of sweetness.
And for something fun and festive, set out a bowl of Salt and Vinegar Christmas Stars – these tangy little bites are made for party platters.
Dips
For something warming and spicy, there’s the ’Nduja & Pepperoni Pizza Hot Melting Dip, bubbling with spicy tomato, ’nduja, pepperoni and mozzarella.
And a Christmas twist on a classic, the Chicken Kyiv Hot Melting Dip, is creamy and comforting with shredded chicken and a garlic and parsley crumb.
